Taking the girls to NOLA for the first time. I haven't been in years, so I figured I would get some recommendations here. I have called the Hilton and the Monteleone, but no vacancy. Are there any other hotels close to downtown that is a pretty safe area? Thanks!

Nope. Might as well stay home.

There are 35,000 hotel rooms in Nola so I’m sure you can find something.
Go to marriotts website and search your dates

Check the Westin, Windsor Court, Ace Hotel. Good hotels in good areas

And please get out of the French Quarter some while here

I usually stay at one of the Marriot hotels because of points. I did recently stay at Hotel Peter and Paul and it was a unique hotel, it use to be an old catholic church they converted to a hotel. Didn't eat at the restaurant but they had a good bar.

Whatever you do, don’t stay at the Ritz Carlton on Canal.

Get a suite at the Windsor Court. Take them to tea in the afternoon. I love the lunches there as well.

Dont listen to these people.

New Orleans is a great and mostly safe city to visit if you completely avoid Downtown and the French Quarter.

I live here and haven’t been to the downtown/Quarter area since January 2020 and have zero desire to go down there again.

I am huge Nola fan. Born, lived, and worked. We don't miss a Nola festival. We don't miss a Nola Mardi Gras parade. Daughter marched in HS band/dance team.

Historical safety has never been good and saw noticeable deterioration in FQ twice in June. All to say, still uniquely great city but watch yourself 100 block of any street FQ and very late evenings. Canal St. adjacent to FQ is bullets waiting to happen after midnight.

Double Tree downtown, Hilton, Hotel Intercontinental are my go to downtown hotels, when Monteleone is booked. I did recently do Windham on Royal but 100 block of Royal full of vagrants.
