HOTEL LE MARAIS, New Orleans

Situated between Royal and Bourbon streets, the hotel places you steps from the French Quarter's nightlife, dining, and attractions while still offering a quieter side street for sleeping. Walk to Bourbon Street in about 2 minutes, and reach Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral in under 10 minutes on foot. Mercedes-Benz Superdome is 1 km away. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is 19 km from the hotel. Streetcars, buses, and ride-shares are available for further travel. The immediate area offers dozens of restaurants and bars within a 5-minute walk, including Acme Oyster House, GW Fins, and Mambo's. Valet parking uses a garage across the street, and the location is walkable for most needs.

All rooms feature a flat-screen TV with streaming service, a walk-in shower, bathrobes, hairdryer, ironing facilities, coffee maker, and complimentary bottled water. Beds are furnished with thick pillows. Some rooms open onto balconies, available only in Premium-level bookings - rooms on Conti Street or overlooking the courtyard. Noise can be an issue: road-facing rooms may pick up street sound, while rooms away from the elevator are quieter. The building has a lift. Private bathrooms are standard across all room types. There is no microwave or refrigerator in rooms, but a limited number of mini-fridges can be delivered on request. Adjoining rooms are not available. Rooms have air conditioning, heating, and a safety deposit box.
