Aloft New Orleans

New Orleans


Effectively a total departure from the historical hotel model, the Aloft chain's New Orleans outpost has rooms rounded out by pop art and the brand's semifunky blue/violet color palette. This spot has a good rooftop pool, a ton of accommodations packages and the reliable amenities and service of a major hotel brand, plus a central location.

While there are many pet-friendly hotels in New Orleans, the Aloft is one of the few that will not charge extra to accommodate your furry friend (no animals above 40lb).
