Accommodations

The pin is where the Hampton is.  Where it says "Marigny" is where we are.  What's in between us is the French Quarter.  The walk takes 15-20 minutes if you do it directly.  Or it can be a whole day affair, if you want it to be.

We've reserved 15 rooms at the Hampton Inn on Carondolet St.  If you want to stay there, the rooms will run you 159/night.  Contact me and we'll make it happen.

Hampton Inn
Some O'Sullivans have already made reservations at the Holiday Inn in the quarter and somewhere else.  One thing I should point out is that New Orleans is small!  Downtown (i.e. the Hampton), the French Quarter, and the Marigny (where we live) are all within walking distance of each other.  So, stay wherever you'd like!  We certainly can give more specific suggestions if you'd like.  Call me or Stefin or email us.

Hotel Storyville

There's also Hotel Storyville that's about 6 blocks away from our house, on Esplanade.  It would be a much cozier/quieter place than most hotels that are in the actual quarter, but still easy to walk to all that hubbub. 

There's Le Richelieu on Chartres street, which is small and very near our place.

The Monteleone is a bit fancy schmancy.  It's in the French Quarter, quite near Bourbon, and houses the famous Carousel Bar, which turns in circles very slowly.  (There are also non-moving seats.)




There's the Royal St. Inn, above the "R" Bar, which is literally 2 blocks from our house (and above/part of a great neighborhood bar). (Get on it, Scorpions!)
Royal St. Inn
There are also some vacation homes folks could go in on together to have more of a family feel, and maybe a cheaper option.
