The Best New Orleans Convention Hotels

Built in 1883 like something out of 2001

The best places to stay in New Orleans for a convention are not even hotels.  The are licensed bed-and-breakfasts that are members of the Professional Innkeepers Association of New Orleans (PIANO).  

In some people's opinion, the best places to stay are not on Convention Center Boulevard, or anywhere nearby.  Plenty of people want to be close to the "action."  There are a few, however, who want to get away from talking about work.  They are people who enjoy savoring a neighborhood's embrace.  They want to be in one part of New Orleans during the day, and they want to be in another, more romantic part of New Orleans during the night.  This is usually someone who brings a spouse along.  

If you are on vacation as well as attending a convention, you may as well make it memorable.  How much are you going to remember about the convention?  Make the rest of it worthwhile.  Stay in a part of the city where people live and make new friends.  Your significant other will thank you for it.

When people like that come to New Orleans, they stay in a bed-and-breakfast.

We think we know why.  I think I know why more than Frau Schmitt does.  She is usually right about these things.  

You'll find out when you get here.  Until then, as Tammy the housekeeper always says...
