My favorite hotels in New Orleans are that of the Marriott properties. Some of the best views of the city are from the Marriott New Orleans on Canal. It's on the edge of the famed French Quarter and right along the Canal streetcar line. It is undergoing an $86 million renovation, so you'll be staying in NEW rooms. Another one of the top hotels is just across the street at the JW Marriott, it's the ultimate luxury experience. Also along the streetcar path and just steps from the quarter the JW Marriott promises a stay you won't forget. Downstairs at the JW Marriott you'll find Shula's steakhouse.
