Centrally located amongst a wide variety of destinations, Villere Suites provides a perfect jumping off point to the attractions of New Orleans. Villere Suites is located just blocks away from the historic French Quarter, where residents and tourists enjoy top-of-the-line entertainment, dining and shopping, as well as numerous cultural and historic features. The Morial Convention Center and Central Business District are also in close proximity.

The world famous French Quarter, or Vieux Carre, is simply teeming with things to do and places to see. Why not start your day with New Orleans style coffee and beignets at Café Du Monde on Decatur Street? From there you can explore the historic French Market, where scores of merchants peddle everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to t-shirts, music and jewelry; or you can take a short stroll to the St. Louis Cathedral for a dose of history, architecture and spirituality. Next door is the Cabildo Museum, and don’t forget that the Vieux Carre is not without prime dining options; for an exquisite taste of regional cooking at its very best, try Antoine’s, Brennan’s or The Court of Two Sisters – a few of New Orleans’ most distinguished restaurants. If you’d like to enjoy a lively night on the town, mosey on over to Bourbon Street and wind down with a nice cool Cyclone or Hurricane from Pat O’Brien’s; or, if live music is your thing, check out the House of Blues or the great jazz landmark, Preservation Hall. Guided tours are also an excellent way to explore the city and range from spooky, themed outings to historically and culturally illuminating excursions throughout the area.

Within walking distance of the French Quarter you will find the Aquarium of the Americas and the IMAX theater, top-notch shopping at the Riverwalk, and Canal Place as well as the excitement of Harrah’s Casino, all located along the banks of the Mississippi river. If you care to venture farther abroad, the Audubon Zoo is delightful for adults and children alike and yet another popular draw is The National D-Day Museum. While you’re at it, take time to explore and revel in the grandeur of New Orleans’ Garden district – the historical neighborhood home to the city’s rich and often famous residents, including bestselling author Anne Rice. Trips out of town can be enjoyed with river cruises, plantation, and swamp tours.
