Hotel Indigo New Orleans - French Quarter, an IHG Hotel
Hotel Indigo opens in New Orleans French Quarter
New Orleans is a place where everyone is encouraged to live as their authentic selves. Hotel Indigo New Orleans - French Quarter takes inspiration from the sounds and sights of local traditions, including the booming melodies of brass bands, the creative costuming of locals and visitors alike, and the enticing beckon of the city's "second line" parades.

The "second line" tradition is woven into the fabric of the community and dates back to the social aid and pleasure clubs of the early 19th Century. This celebratory parade was open to any and all to rejoice in life, eventually entrenching itself in the daily ritual of life - marking funerals and celebrations, or for no other reason than to convene in merriment.
The 143-room Hotel Indigo New Orleans - French Quarter invites guests to be "part of that number," whether visiting as a quick stop during the day or enjoying for a longer period. Located in the Central Business District along the world's oldest continuously operating street railway, the hotel now stands at the very intersection where the historic St. Charles Hotel once loomed. The spirited neighborhood, steps from the vibrant French Quarter, is a crossroads of historic architecture and contemporary life, with public artworks celebrating the city's rich culture, notable theaters and lively new food halls.
After discovering the local art galleries, jumping on the St. Charles line for a nostalgic street railway ride, and tasting Café du Monde's famous beignets, visit Common Interest, the hotel's restaurant lounge that brings together a cultural cauldron of guests and locals while serving up a contemporary twist on traditional New Orleans cuisine.
