For great value

Lookout Inn is a quaint four bedroom B&B with characterful interiors in the Bywater District. A leafy courtyard houses a saltwater pool, there are kitchen facilities available for all, and restaurants and bars are part of the district's makeup. A homely stay where dogs are welcomed at just $25 and the human rates are equally appealing.
Rathbone Mansions is a guesthouse combining two antebellum pre-Civil War mansions with a shared swimming pool and gardens. Rooms, suites and apartments (some are pet friendly) are unique but all have a contemporary take on traditional New Orleans design. A quiet but well-connected and affordable base.

For contemporary design

Moxy New Orleans Downtown is a hip offering from Marriott's Moxy brand. The design has a youthful feel with large graphics, simple contemporary furniture, and up to date mod cons. The bar is a lively affair with a good selection of cocktails. A great choice for a lively stay in the heart of the city where pets can stay at a one time rate of $100.

For a lively stay

Ace Hotel is an uber hip hotel that matches its trendy surroundings. Grown-up rooms are all dark hues, clean lines and the best are provided with guitars for an evening strum. Corner rooms and double rooms are dog friendly. A rooftop pool, superb restaurant (in an impressive hall) and own music venue make this an unbeatable choice.

For traditional style

Bienville House is a charming traditional hotel in the heart of the French quarter, boasting an elegant pool, lavish rooms, old-world decor, four-poster beds, terraces, and hand-painted murals. This is a glamourous stay where pets are equally well taken care of with a mat, two bowls, a treat, and a pet map provided.

For a pool

NOPSI Hotel is a chic hotel with vast and cleanly styled rooms and fabulous amenities in the Central Business District. With exciting dining options, an atmospheric gin bar, a large rooftop pool, and pet amenities provided — you are getting a lot for your dollar at this lively stay.
The Green House Inn is a relaxed pet friendly B&B on vibrant Magazine Street. The painted clapboard exterior houses simple but cosy rooms with homely touches. Spacious communal areas include a kitchen, dining room, library and porch. The real plus is the outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and sociable garden.

For a boutique

La Galerie Hotel is a boutique hotel with a prime central location. The historic building houses fresh, stylish rooms with an all-white palette, hardwood floors, unique art, and exposed brick. Dine, drink and admire art on-site. Inviting, elegant, timeless, and pet friendly.
Q&C Hotel Bar is a trendy boutique-style hotel with sophisticated rooms featuring exposed brick walls, antique-inspired furniture, bold prints and industrial-chic touches. Complete with a lively bar, this is a stylish option with the added advantage that pets stay for free.
The Old 77 Hotel & Chandlery is another boutique option set just three blocks from the French Quarter. Home to a rotating art gallery and acclaimed restaurant, this chic bolt-hole is akin to a local cultural hub. With loft-style suites — this is a chic home-away-from-home where pets are welcomed again without a fee.
Loft 523 is a chic converted warehouse with minimalist design. The Lofts are light and luxurious with Italian designer bathrooms and Aveda soaps. The in-house bar is buzzy and the location is perfect for restaurants, the music scene and exploring. Pets are very welcome, however, this comes with a $200 cleaning fee.
