The Prince Conti Hotel is a wonderful find in New Orleans.
One half block from Bourbon Street, the Conti is among the lease expensive hotels we could find anyplace in New Orleans. The hotel is in a warren of old French Quarter buildings. The ambience reminds me of a querky left bank pension in Paris,
The best perk may bew the valet parking. Being able to park our rental car one block from Bourbon Street was almost worth the price of the room! Our Conti parking pass even got us through the New Orleans PD blockades on a big French Quarter night (Bayou Classic) when no traffic was allowed in the Quarter!
While amenities at the Conti are otherwise limited, the hotel is across the street from two very worthwhile restaurants .. Brussard's and a little Czech place called Cafe Jaeger. The American style breakfasts at the Jaeger wer great. Brussard's was expectedly wonderful but surprisingly inexpensive (less than $50/person) for a full three course meal that was outstanding.
I did a lot of photography in the Quarter and will post that later.
