"Bourbon Orleans might just be the Grande Dame of French Quarter hotels. With near-perfect period detail, like cast and wrought iron fixtures, courtyards, French arch windows, dormers and balconies, and a prime location just north of the famous St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square, there's very little that doesn't speak to the hotel's many charms. Just to the north side of the famous St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square, there is no hotel of this stature closer to the heart of the city! There's Roux on Orleans, a creole streetside affair, and the “Bourbon O” bar, where there are live local Jazz performances nightly (along with a cocktail or two). , along with fresh mixed cocktails…with a seasonally changing drink menu that makes it the classiest bar on Bourbon Street. Grab your beau and take a stroll around the inner courtyard, or take a dip in the heated saltwater pool."
