Welcome to BetterBidding!

I'm assuming this is New Orleans, but which sub-zone within New Orleans (FQ, CBD, etc) are each of the above in?

[p_haun]

I'm sorry, yes this is in NOLA

all three are listed as CBD

I actually believe this is the DOWNTOWN zone according to Hotwire, if so...

Here are our best guesses:

3.5* - not sure, but i don't recommend Boutique hotels in a truly opaque product, as the quality can vary much too greatly

4* - Hyatt or Sheraton... the both appear with the same star ratings and amenities so now way to know which one until after purchase

4.5* - Le Pavillon

ECT also lists the Astor Crowne Plaza at $109/nite, but it's 'on request' (meaning they've already sold their allotment, but can check with the hotel for additional rooms at their block rate). They usually let you know within 2 days, but it could take longer (and you should 'keep on top of them' after 48 hours).

Let us know what you ultimately end up doing for this stay and if we can be of any further help. If you go with any of the Hotwire offerings above, please use THIS LINK to begin your purchase.
