    Central Business District/Downtown

    This bustling business center has it all

    The South Market District, a micro-neighborhood of the CBD, transformed asphalt lots into urbanity where award-winning bakers and chefs serve up cuisine to visitors and locals in trendy restaurants. Restored theaters – the Saenger, the Orpheum and the aptly named Joy – host incredible acts and Broadway shows. And, everywhere, hotels to accommodate your stay. With close proximity to both the French Quarter and the Garden District, a stay in the CBD is a win-win.
