Why visit New Orleans alone when you can visit with friends? Or the whole family? Whether a bachelor/bachelorette, friend reunion, or family vacation, it’s natural to seek out stays that allow for both individual privacy AND plenty of common areas for bonding time and hangouts.  Sure, there are short-term rentals, but for those who want the amenities of a hotel with the space of something more private, these accommodations make booking for your group a breeze. These unique properties will have your group feeling like VIPs in an experience that cannot be matched. See below for the best New Orleans hotels for group stays.
