The Bourbon Orleans Hotel is a historic property that’s a member of the New Orleans Hotel Collection, along with six other area hotels. I stayed in a queen room on the 6th floor, reputed to be haunted, which wasn’t very big, but comfortable.
Since the rooms are built around a central courtyard, you might have to walk a long way from the elevator to the room. I was later informed about a second elevator on the far side of my room that is used more by staff.

Bourbon Orleans: A Convenient French Quarter Hotel
The Bourbon Orleans Hotel is located behind Jackson Square at Bourbon and Orleans streets, so it’s right in the middle of the action. It’s easy to access area attractions like Café du Monde and the French Market, as well as the bus to Mardi Gras World and streetcars.
The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and Amtrak Station are a short car ride away from the hotel. Because of its location, you can get some noise both outside the hotel and from other guests. But it’s still one of the best places to stay in New Orleans.
