The "Big Easy" is BACK!
Come see for yourself - the tourist areas of New Orleans are alive and
well and the people are anxious for you to come visit. |
| This is a city everyone MUST visit at some time. Come listen to some fabulous jazz, one of the things that has made New Orleans so famous. Don't like jazz? No problem. New Orleans has enough attractions and activities to meet anyone's desire, from dining to shopping, gambling, and touring. New Orleans has always been known for its delightful cooking: Creole, Cajun, French, Southern, and almost every other ethnic variety you can think of. Another hallmark of the "City that Care Forgot" is the variety of sightseeing activities available. Riverfront activities include River Boat tours, Bayou Tours, and The Aquarium of the Americas. Historic tours of Antebellum mansions and the above ground cemetery are available. You can visit the lovely Zoo or visit the Museum of Art with the largest collection of Faberge items in the world! Shoppers will have a field day here. From six-mile-long Magazine Street, with its century-old cottages offering collections of local and regional art, specialized clothing, decorator shops, and restaurants of unique and varied cuisine, to the antique stores of the French Quarter, New Orleans offers just about any merchandise you could possibly want. Within walking distance of our hotel is Canal Place containing Saks Fifth avenue, Brooks Brothers, Gucci and other upscale stores, while just a few blocks away is Riverwalk Mall with over 220 stores. The French Quarter offers Preservation Hall, where jazz is performed nightly, the French Market, Jackson Square, beautiful architecture, Creole cooking classes, and the famed beignets at Caf du Monde! |
|
| The Astor Crowne Plaza is the gateway hotel to New Orleans' most exciting destination - the world famous French Quarter. Located where Bourbon Street meets Canal Street, the Astor allows for quick access to both the excitement of Bourbon Street and nearby downtown attractions of Harrah's Casino, Aquarium of The Americas, and Riverwalk Shopping Center. The guestrooms of the Astor Crowne Plaza are tastefully decorated with designer fabrics and traditional New Orleans-style furnishings. The rooms are appointed with amenities such as CD player, Internet access, coffee/tea maker, hairdryer, and the new Crowne Plaza Sleep AdvantageTM Program featuring new beds, quiet zone floors, sleep amenities, and more.
