Need suggestions for a good historic hotel. We plan to see the French quarter, garden district, and world war 2 museum. We have read good TripAdvisor reviews on some but just needing some good Aggie suggestions. Thanks

Monteleone
if you don't stay there, be sure to drop in for a drink at the carousel bar. It's one of the few things I recommend for looking for tourist attractions and non-tourist stuff alike.RPM said:

that hotel looks pretty awesome as well. I hit up the wine bar when I'm there.FarmerJohn said:
I stayed at the Mazarin. It was nice enough, you feel removed from the chaos a little. A lot of the rooms have outdoor access though. That being said, I can't disagree with the Monteleone recommendation.
We've stayed there before and it was nice. They had a good free hot breakfast buffet at the time. Hotel Le Marais is very modern and nice too.RPM said:that hotel looks pretty awesome as well. I hit up the wine bar when I'm there.FarmerJohn said:

Forgot about the Ritz Carlton. Cool property but super hit-or-miss depending on what is going on when you're in town. If you're there when no conventions or big events are happening, rooms should be cheap and the property is nice.fw_ag said:

Stayed at an AirBnB in the Bywater district. Ubered to the French Quarter (though it's also walkable), Garden District, etc. Had a blast.

Hotel Monteleone and its not even close.
I stayed at the Mazarin for the LSU football trip 2 years ago. Great location, just across the street from the Sonesta (not a bad place, either), but without the crowds. Of course, the Monteleone is just around the corner, but I haven't stayed there.RPM said:that hotel looks pretty awesome as well. I hit up the wine bar when I'm there.FarmerJohn said:

How was the AirBNB? Reason I ask is the next trip we go we will be focusing on the bywater and Frenchman street a lot more
