The 31-room Soniat House is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel in the French Quarter. Located on a quieter street, this hotel provide a good option for those wanting to explore the area and its history while avoiding the party scene on Bourbon Street. Built into a cluster of three historic townhouses, the hotel presents like a bed-and-breakfast, with large, individually styled rooms full of antiques. All the rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, though some may be more worn than others and walls are thin. The resident cat adds to the Soniat House's homey feel, but guests with pet allergies may want to look elsewhere.

This luxurious chain hotel in downtown New Orleans differentiates itself from other area properties with its sky high location -- the hotel is built on a mall and parking garage. The lobby starts on the 11th floor and rooms ascend above that, so the views of the Mississippi River and surrounding NOLA are spectacular, and the extra height means that there is very little exterior noise. The rooms themselves are spacious but rather nondescript, and a bit dated for the price. All of the requisite amenities for a comfortable stay are, however, present: flat-screen TV, quality bedding, free Wi-Fi,and in-room coffeemaker. The well-stocked fitness facility, 24-hour room service, business center, and meeting spaces also make this hotel a good choice for business travelers. The location on the edge of the French Quarter means quick access to Bourbon Street but none of the obnoxious all-night revelry.

This 76-room mid-range hotel has an amazing location in the French Quarter, not even a block from famed Bourbon Street. Housed in a historic 19th-century townhouse, the Prince Conti Hotel has plenty of New Orleans charm. Its age does show, though, inside the building, which is in need of some upgrades. There are few on-site amenities, and the rooms feature outdated furnishings, like tube TVs. The hotel does offer free Wi-Fi for guests, comfy beds, and great breakfasts at the on-site Conti Cafe. The rates are quite reasonable for the French Quarter, and the property is a good option for travelers seeking a convenient location -- and little else. The French Market Inn is also worth a look, for those who prioritize modern digs over proximity to Bourbon Street.

This 97-room, mid-to-upper range hotel, located just blocks from Bourbon Street, is definitely for those seeking a trendier, hipper NOLA experience. Decorated with an eclectic mix of funky voodoo and contemporary jazz-themed elements, the rooms can be a bit on the small and dark side, but have a unique style. The hotel is a tad pricier than some of the others in this area, and rooms are not spotless, but guests get perks like Bliss bath products and plush W signature bedding. Certain luxuries are missing, like free Wi-Fi. There is, however, a stocked minibar along with a cocktail shaker to get the in-room party started (for a price, of course). The small pool and modern interior courtyard are both inviting, and the on-site restaurant SoBou (i.e. South of Bourbon Street) is top-notch.

The 100-room Hampton Inn-St. Charles Avenue is a mis-range option in the Uptown/Garden District, known for its well-preserved 19th-century mansions and lovely green spaces. The hotel is about five blocks from Magazine Street, which has plenty of shops, boutiques, restaurants, bars, and galleries, and sits right on the famous St. Charles streetcar line, ready to transport guests downtown to the French Quarter or farther uptown to the Audubon Park and Zoo. Rooms are understated -- there's a lot of beige, gray, and light wood -- but come with mini-fridges and microwaves, and suites are available with avenue views, separate living areas, and kitchenettes. A large hot breakfast is included in the room rate (a to-go breakfast is also available during the week). There's a courtyard pool, a small business center, and a meeting room, and guests get free access to a nearby gym.
