If you're planning a trip to New Orleans, regardless of whether its Mardi Gras season, Bourbon Street is the place to be. There are several large, luxurious hotels with elegant courtyards and rooms that look out onto Bourbon Street and the ever-present activity that goes on in the French Quarter—live music, and hordes of people strolling through shops, art galleries and the many Cajun and Creole restaurants.
The Inn on Bourbon is located at the site of the Old French Opera House, originally built in 1859. The original building burned down in 1919 and the current building was constructed. The hotel now features 179 rooms and seven suites, in addition to a courtyard swimming pool and fountain, a lounge, gift shop, 4,000 square feet of meeting space and a fitness center. Rooms include Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs with cable, in-room safes, coffee makers and free daily newspapers.
