4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in New Orleans

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit New Orleans is during June, August, and September, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a fulfilling experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the city's rich history and culture, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This timeframe offers great value for money, enabling you to explore a variety of attractions such as live music venues, vibrant dance scenes, entertaining shows, jazz performances, museums, bars, art galleries, and historical walking tours. With the potential for prices to drop, this period is perfect for those travelling on a budget.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a New Orleans hotel.
