New Orleans is one of the most unique cities in the U.S., hot and heady with history, jazz, and its location on the mighty Mississippi. And it’s the jazz and heat, both of which hang in the air and rise off the streets, which our Hotel Gurus cite as reasons you must have a balcony room when staying in New Orleans. What could be better than sitting out on your balcony, mint julep in hand, listening to the jazz clubs warm up for the night, and feeling the warm breeze — possibly scented with Creole seasoning… Our picks for New Orleans Hotels with a balcony include five star hotels, historic, converted mansions, chic, family-sized apartments, cool properties atop jazz and many more.
