With Hotel Mazarin located half a block from Royal Street and half a block from Bourbon Street, the French Quarter is at your doorstep. This historic district is the heart of New Orleans and home to beautiful architecture, lush gardens, and vibrant culture. Walk up the street to Preservation Hall for live jazz or wander through historic Jackson Square to see street musicians, dancers, and local artists. Visit one of the many local museums, from the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum to the Audubon Nature Institute. Getting excited? Start planning your free time.
If you love food, you’ll love New Orleans. Just down the block from the hotel is GW Fins, rated #1 of 1,541 restaurants in NOLA on tripadvisor, and the Zagat-rated best seafood restaurant in New Orleans. If you want to sample some of the best Cajun and Creole food in the city, walk two blocks to Jimmy J’s Cafe for breakfast served all day, plus lunch and dinner. And you simply cannot leave without visiting Café Du Monde for coffee and beignets, the famous fried dough smothered in powdered sugar. They’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on Jackson Square. If none of these options tickle your taste buds, see what else is nearby.
