THINGS TO DO IN NEW ORLEANS
A VITAL, FRENCH QUARTER HOTEL WHERE CANAL MEETS BOURBON STREET. Stationed at the intersection of Canal Street and Bourbon Street, Astor Crowne Plaza New Orleans is ideally positioned near the area's
biggest and brightest attractions so you do not need to rent a car. Walk to the Big Easy's most compelling local points of
interest, including Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Harrah's Casino, the French Market and Riverwalk Mall. Discover a vast
assortment of tempting restaurants, lively festivals and iconic cultural landmarks, right outside our front door. We also put
you in an ideal position to enjoy the area's legendary nightlife, while offering a quiet, tranquil respite after a long,
exciting day around town.
Bursting at the seams with history, art, music and vibrant entertainment, New Orleans is a magical place with an original culture
and way of life. From the music-filled Marigny and the elegant Garden District to the legendary French Quarter and raucous Bourbon
Street, the city features a host of unique areas that give it the flavor of an old European capital more than a traditional
American city. Enjoy mouth-watering Louisiana fare, countless iconic historical sites and a number of world-famous festivities
in this powder keg of energy and fun, where anything can happen and often does. Leave your car and hop on the newly renovated
Streetcar for a nostalgic tour of the Big Easy. The line stops right outside the hotel at Canal and Carondolet and forms an
arcing railway through the "Crescent City." Visit the beautiful garden district and take in the grandeur of antebellum mansions
from the comfort of the cars. Whether you choose a self-guided excursion, scenic carriage ride, pub-crawl or haunted expedition,
don't go home without a proper tour of the French Quarter. Popular stops can include Jackson Square, the Historic French Market
and Mardi Gras World.
