New Orleans, USA, hotels

[Richie]

Have a 3 night stay planned for early January, any hotel tips would be appreciated. Have IHG Diamond status from that promotion in October. Would like to avoid hen & stag parties and families. TIA.

We stayed at the Intercontinental on St Charles Ave which was near enough to wander to everything yet away from the noise and hustle.

Thanks Roberto, will look at that.

We are off there for 5 nights next October, courtesy of the Barclays upgrade voucher. Very excited – probably because of all the films set there but anyway!

Cash prices seem very high on our dates (the IC was about $600 pn) but I got the Indigo for 33k points per night which seemed very reasonable. I’m going to keep as eye on prices, though, as it’s not for a while yet and the exchange rate might improve …
