Welcome to New Orleans, one of America's most vibrant cities, where rich history meets buzzing street life, diverse culture, and excellent dining. 

The French Quarter (also known as the Vieux Carré) is the oldest neighbourhood in the city and definitely one of the best areas to stay, especially if you are visiting The Big Easy for the first time.


"So much of what makes New Orleans unique is captured in the melting pot atmosphere of the French Quarter, from the boisterous party vibe of Bourbon Street to the bohemian elegance of Royal Street. It's a neighborhood full of entertainment and surprises." - neworleanscvb.com

Right in the Centre of the Action

Conveniently located in the heart of the French Quarter, Hotel Le Marais of the New Orleans Hotel Collection is a chic boutique hotel with an outdoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness centre, and a high level of personal service.

Once you step outside the hotel, you will find the city's best bars and restaurants, art galleries, shops, and tourist attractions. Famous clubs and jazz venues of Bourbon Street, where you can experience New Orleans come alive at night, are only a half block away.
