Our venue, Capulet, is located in the Bywater/Marigny area (about 10 blocks from the French Quarter). New Orleans has plenty of great neighborhoods to explore, each with its own personality; we’ve highlighted a few of our favorites below.
Marigny / Bywater (neighborhood vibe, closest to the venue)
‣ Hotel Peter and Paul
‣ Bywater Suite Hotel
‣ The Mansion on Royal
French Quarter (best for first-time visitors)
‣ Inn on Saint Peter
‣ The Courtyards on Royal
‣ The Frenchman New Orleans by Kasa
Warehouse District / CBD (great balance of convenience and artsy; WWII Museum)
A Note on Airbnb & VRBO
NOLA has regulations that limit vacation rentals in parts of the French Quarter, so you'll generally find more options just outside it😉.
