The hotel shuttles usually have a cost.
Hotels with Room Blocks
We got some nice spots picked out for you to hang your hats near one of New Orleans's most famous areas, the French Quarter. All hotels are within a few blocks of each other and require a Friday and Saturday stay to get the group rate.
Airbnbs
New Orleans is known for it's classical and eclectic architecture. Many visitors stay in local Airbnbs to really get immersed in the culture of the city. Here are some good neighborhoods to stay in:
​
-
Mid-city: This is where Nick's family is from. There's City Park, Café du Monde, bars, and some good restaurants in this area. Also close to where the meet n greet will happen.
-
Uptown: This is where most of those swanky Southern Mansions are, as it's one of the wealthiest parts of the city. Some good shopping on Magazine St as well.
-
Marigny/The Bywater: This place has a very Brooklyn vibe. It's where a lot of young people are moving as it is gentrifying. Lots of hip coffee shops next to great restaurants.
-
French Quarter/CBD: There will be very few of these and most likely expensive, but if you can snag one, you'll be right in the middle of the action.
But How is it All Connected?
