Royal Sonesta is a little farther but it%26#39;s not too bad especially with all the walking you will prbably do anyway. It%26#39;s a great hotel and that is a good rate for them. If you want to be closer to Jackson Square then the Bourbon Orleans is a good option. It%26#39;s a nice hotel and right near where you want to be. The Omni is nice too and not too far from the Square.

How about Hotel Provincial? Great service! We love the location. It%26#39;s not too far from either Jackson Square or Frenchmen Street. Parking is available on site. And it%26#39;s very near one of our favorite restaurants - Irene%26#39;s.

Enjoy!

I%26#39;m a little curious as to why the original poster thinks the Royal Sonesta is a little far from Frenchmen (it%26#39;s about 10 blocks) but I guess each person%26#39;s ';far'; is relative. Personally, I think anything in the French Quarter or Faubourg Marigny is relatively close to anything else. These neighborhoods aren%26#39;t large.

Anywho, I%26#39;d also second the Provincial as it%26#39;s between Jackson Square and Esplanade. Ditto for Le Richelieu, the Soniat House (higher rates) or the Chateau.

And Le Richelieu has free parking and a short walk to Coops.

I have just returned from Place D,armes. My husband smokes (i have quit) Get a courtyard room with a balcony and you can smoke on the balcony. The location of Place darmes cannot be beat. Lots o people smoking in the courtyard.

As I just posted on another thread, the Bourbon Orleans has a ';sizzlinsummer'; rate of $79. It has smoking floors, and is right behind the cathedral -- steps from Plac D%26#39;Armes, and has windows as well!

I recommend them so much they should pay me.
