Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Qtr - Astor By IHG

Classic New Orleans Charm Steps from the French Quarter's Music Scene

Modern comfort meets historic soul at the Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Qtr - Astor, a stylish hotel perched right at the corner of iconic Canal and Bourbon Streets. With the French Quarter just outside your door and top venues like Preservation Hall and Harrah’s Casino within walking distance, this is a prime base for music lovers eager to soak up the sounds of New Orleans.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a quick stroll from some of the city's best live music spots—and when the encore wraps up, you’re already home. The 24-hour front desk and round-the-clock room service cater to late-night arrivals, and the on-site bar offers a cozy spot to wind down. Despite being at the crossroads of Canal and Bourbon, rooms are surprisingly quiet, especially if you request one facing away from the street. Flexible 4:00 PM check-in gives travelers time to settle in before a night out, and with check-out at 11:00 AM, there’s enough time to sleep in after the show.
