Learn more about hotels in New Orleans

Enriched by its French and Spanish Creole heritage and multilingual influences, New Orleans, fondly named after Duke of Orléans, Philippe II, is a city that remains unparalleled in character. It was founded in 1718 by French colonists and played a pivotal role in the territorial narrative of French Louisiana right up to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803.

The city narrates a tapestry of historical highlights and tribulations, particularly evident in its architectural aesthetics, where French and Spanish colonial influences resonate powerfully. This coalescence of cultural heritage has shaped New Orleans into a melting pot of the world, with German, Irish, Polish, Italian, and Filipino communities contributing significantly to its rich and diverse population.

New Orleans, regarded as Hollywood South, is an iconic figure in the pop culture scene and a significant player in the film industry. With a rich history of trade, the War of 1812, and making an outstanding recovery from the devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005, this spirited city is a testament to resilience and regrowth. From the unique dialect and Creole cuisine to its infamous Mardi Gras and Voodoo traditions, New Orleans is as much about the past as it is about the present.

When to visit New Orleans

Blessed with a colourful compilation of annual events and festivals, there is never a dull moment in the city of New Orleans. If you're planning a family holiday, the best times to visit are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. These periods promise pleasant weather, perfect for taking in the architecture, dining al fresco, and immersing in outdoor activities.

Spring ushers in the city's famed New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and spontaneous parades, while autumn calls to the rhythms of the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience and the revelries of Halloween festivities. The winter season offers an exceptional experience too, with the vibrant Mardi Gras celebrations causing a citywide stir in February or early March. However, it's best to avoid the summer months due to high humidity levels and frequent thunderstorms.
