The Best Hotels to Book in New Orleans for Mardi Gras - AFAR
"Located a short walk from St. Charles Avenue parade routes and one block from the Ace and Maison de la Luz, this 238-room property mixes quirky decor (including playful cocktail touches like plastic babies frozen in ice) with practical benefits—some rooms are quieter thanks to internal air-shaft views. It offers a $299 Mardi Pardi Ice Chest add-on that supplies a personal cooler stocked with ice, four local beers, sodas, water, finger sandwiches, and a king cake, and programs lively Carnival events such as a drag-and-burlesque brunch at Commons Club before the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus, a headpiece-making tutorial, a Carnival Couture fashion show, and special Carnival brunches with DJs." - Lyndsey Matthews
