Top hotels in Uptown and Carrollton District

Alder Hotel Uptown New Orleans
It’s not in the center of things, which makes it “budget” for New Orleans. But I’ve stayed in five-star luxury hotels that weren’t so attentive to detail and treated each guest like family. Parking is safe, easy, and free.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, room was clean. The balcony view was amazing.. the food was not good at all, tasted like it was heated up in a microwave. With one exception the beignet with strawberries were delicious and we had it twice while we stayed there..
