New Orleans also has many smaller, unique boutique hotels located among the French Quarter hotels and in the downtown areas of the historic Central Business District, the Warehouse District and Garden District.
French Quarter Hotels
New Orleans French Quarter hotels are unlike any other hotels in the world. The balconies of New Orleans French Quarter  hotels provide the best vantage points in town for enjoying New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations or just watching the crowds pass below on any day or night of the year. During Mardi Gras, your French Quarter hotel balcony transforms into a stationary Mardi Gras float as you toss Mardi Gras beads to the passing crowds below.

The patios of French Quarter hotels are beautifully landscaped, surrounded by history and the perfect place to enjoy a New Orleans style cocktail.

New Orleans Basics
Before you walk the streets of the French Quarter, before you take your first tour of New Orleans historic homes and haunted cemeteries or even tours of the neighboring swamps or plantations, take a moment to learn a few basics about New Orleans that will help put this strange and wonderful city in perspective.
New Orleans is a cultural island at the edge of America. New Orleans doesn’t fit nicely into any regional mold. She’s a Southern city  where the residents sound like Northerners, a Middle American city with a West Coast like libertine culture and a Catholic city in the Protestant Bible Belt. Unique among American cities, New Orleans has its own food, its own music, its own holidays and its own pace. While most American cities showcase what is new and modern, New Orleans has retained its old homes, architecture, historic districts and charm. Under the surface and seldom witnessed by tourists are the uniquely New Orleans cultures of Mardi Gras Krewes, Mardi Gras Indians and Jazz funerals
New Orleans is shaped by water.
New Orleans was founded by the French in 1718 on the banks of the Mississippi River where the mile wide river meanders through a vast water world of swamps, lakes and marshes before emptying into the  Gulf of Mexico. New Orleans is sandwiched between the Mississippi River to the south and Lake Pontchartrain to the north. East and west of New Orleans are more lakes, swamps and marshes effectively making New Orleans an island or “L’Isle d’Orléans” as the French called it. The oldest (and highest) parts of New Orleans are built on ground that is scarcely a few feet above sea level. To keep water out, New Orleans is surrounded by the largest levee system this side of Holland. The levees also do a good job of keeping water in, so with the most annual rainfall of any city in the country, 63”, New Orleans is dependent on its gargantuan system of pumps and canals to get the water out when it rains. In New Orleans, the umbrella has transcended being a useful personal accessory to the level of a cultural symbol. You just can’t have a proper New Orleans second line parade without umbrellas.
New Orleans has its own ambiance and attitude. With all the great music, food and festivities, New Orleans can feel like an endless celebration of good  living or “joie de vivre”. The residents of New Orleans and South Louisiana have always been one plague or hurricane away from disaster. These regular reminders of life’s fragility have impressed generations of Cajuns and New Orleaneans with the importance of taking time out to appreciate and enjoy the good things in life. The English phrase “Let the good times role!” translates into French as “Laissez les bons temps rouler!”. The residents of New Orleaneans and Cajuns in this vulnerable region of Louisiana, have made it their motto.
 New Orleans also has the feel of a film noir. Its odd customs, old buildings, rainy days, late night parties, all night bars, mysterious cemeteries and tales of ghosts and vampires can make New Orleans feel dark, strange, sexy, romantic and even a little dangerous. Its history of red light districts, illicit romances, voodoo, pirates, duels and political plots just add to the mystique. Whether you find New Orleans to be your thrill ride of great food, music and entertainment or your romantic escape from mainstream America, you’re not going to feel the same in any other city.
New Orleans is a major ethnic melting pot. New Orleans has always been a city of many races and creeds. Founded by the French, New Orleans became a Spanish colony and then a  French territory once again before being sold by Napoleon to the Americans as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. New Orleans had a multicultural population of French, Spanish, Africans, Native Americans, Creoles, Cajuns, Filipinos and Caribbean Islanders long before she became an American city. The oldest Asian community in the entire USA are the Filipinos that came to New Orleans in the late 1700s during the Spanish colonial period.
After New Orleans and Louisiana became part of the United States, Americans of English, Scottish, German and Irish descendant came down the Mississippi to settle in New Orleans. More Germans and Irish arrived from Europe and then by the end of the 19th century, large numbers of Italians, Jews and Greeks began arriving in New Orleans. By the early 20th century, Latin Americans and Chinese immigrants were well established in New Orleans.
In the last decades, New Orleans has become home to immigrants from all over the world, especially Viet Nam, India and the Middle East. The diverse ethnic groups that make up New Orleans have all contributed to New Orleans incredibly vibrant food culture and restaurant scene.
New Orleans is more than the French Quarter.
To really experience New  Orleans, you have to go beyond the French Quarter and downtown (the souvenir zone). Just follow the river and you’ll discover neighborhood after neighborhood of historic homes, small family restaurants, live music clubs, art galleries, bed and breakfasts, boutiques and antique shops. Downriver from New Orleans are the Faubourg Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods, home to many of New Orleans artists and musicians, charming old bed and breakfasts and the best jazz clubs in the city.
Upriver from downtown and the French Quarter is the Warehouse District with its  chic condominiums and cafés. Upriver from the Warehouse District is the Garden District, with its 19th century mansions and legendary restaurants. The historic neighborhoods with their grand old homes, tropical gardens and majestic live oaks extend all along the Mississippi River, into Uptown New Orleans, past Tulane and Loyola Universities and Audubon Park and into River Bend and Carrollton.
Along the river, beyond the New Orleans city limits, is the Great River Road that follows the Mississippi River (both sides!). You can follow it all  the way to Minnesota if you have the time. Follow it now and you’ll enter Jefferson Parish, home base of the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Zephyrs and lot of great seafood restaurants from Grand Isle to Bucktown. The Huey P. Long Bridge and Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (the world’s longest over water bridge), both in Jefferson, offer magnificent views of New Orleans.
The other great geographic feature of New Orleans, besides the Mississippi River, is Lake Pontchartrain. Lake Pontchartrain is a very large beautiful lake and the northern boundary of New Orleans. The winding Lakeshore Drive offers beautiful views along the lake with plenty of places to pull over and have a relaxing picnic or just take a break from the crowd.
Between the Lake and the River, near City Park, are more historic  neighborhoods like Mid-City and Faubourg St John with great restaurants and quaint bed and breakfasts. Near City Park are the Fairgrounds, home of horse racing in New Orleans and the New Orleans Jazz Fest. Also near City Park are historic above ground cemeteries like Metairie and Saint Patrick’s Cemeteries. City Park has golf courses, botanical gardens and some of the oldest live oaks in America.
 Wherever you go in New Orleans, you’ll discover something that will make the side trip worthwhile. It may be something great to eat, a quaint café, a streetcar ride, a beautiful park or something with a history to tell. It may be a walk down a quiet French Quarter street or the sweet sounds of a street musician playing jazz tunes into the night. If you spend enough time getting to know New Orleans, you’ll begin to understand why so many visitors fall in love with the city and always return.

Cemetery tours in New Orleans are a unique experience. New Orleans cemeteries, with their rows of above ground tombs dating back to French colonial days, are known as “cities of the dead”. The tombs are often beautiful works of art and architecture that resemble small cities. Because of the low elevation of New Orleans and its high water table, New Orleaneans must bury their dead above ground, creating cemeteries unlike any others in America.
The most famous tomb in New Orleans is that of Marie Laveau, New Orleans own “voodoo queen” Located in Saint Louis cemetery near the French Quarter, Marie Laveau’s tomb is covered with scratched “X”s left by visitors asking for spiritual interdiction by the New Orleans Queen of Voodoo in the form of a favor and sometimes a curse.
