New Orleans

Music, history, and the best food city in the South.

About New Orleans

New Orleans is one of those places where the gap between the public hotel rate and the member rate is consistently wide enough to matter. Our Travel Editor has spent enough time here to know which streets matter and which ones don't, which weekends sell out, and which mid-range properties punch above their class.

The city's appeal isn't a single attraction — it's the combination of food, neighborhoods, walkability, and the kind of small daily moments that turn a quick trip into a return-visit obsession. Visitors who stay three days end up wishing they'd booked five. Visitors who stay five end up wishing they'd booked a week. Plan a little more time than you think you need.

Member pricing helps stretch a longer trip into the budget you'd normally allocate for a shorter one. Pair the right neighborhood with the right rate, and New Orleans becomes one of the easiest yes-decisions in your travel calendar.
