There's no better way to enjoy a romantic visit to New Orleans than to stay in the French Quarter. Surrounded by historic architecture and footsteps away from jazz, legendary restaurants and boutique shopping, a romantic hotel stay adds charm to a special trip, making it all the more memorable. The French Quarter is defined by the Mississippi River from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue and inland to the north to North Rampart Street.
Moments from the cafe au lait and beignets at the famous Cafe du Monde is a group of eight carefully renovated townhouses collectively known as the Place D'Armes Hotel. The buildings date from the 18th century and surround a beautifully landscaped garden with a pool, fountain and lush, subtropical plants. Each guestroom has antique reproduction furnishings, as well as modern amenities including complimentary wireless Internet access, cable TV and 24-hour concierge service.
