New Orleans

Fun doesn't get much easier than in The Big Easy. New Orleans is where the jazz is cool, the jambalaya is hot and every day is a party. The French Quarter is famous for its unique architecture of colorful walls and elaborate iron balconies, existing as it did during Spanish rule two centuries ago.

When to go: 

January - April

Where to stay: 

W New Orleans Hotel

Take it easy in the Big Easy at the W New Orleans Hotel. It’s located just steps from the French Quarter but in a quieter location for a peaceful night’s rest. The hotel is right next door to Harrah’s Casino, the Warehouse District and shopping centers.

What to do: 

Window shopping abounds on Royal Street, with its elegant antique shops and art galleries. Historic Jackson Square features a host of street-corner painters, entertaining performers and tarot card readers. Get a detailed look at the heart of New Orleans by taking the Hurricane Katrina Tour, Crescent City Nights Walking Tour, River Road Plantations Tour, Cemetery & Gris Gris Walking Tour and the Swamp and Bayou Tour.
