Top hotels in French Quarter
The Vendue
"Everything about this property is exceptional! From the rooms to the lobby and all of the hotel staff, everything and everyone was extraordinary! I highly recommend this hotel!!"
Reviewed on 3 Jun 2026
The Palmetto Hotel
"Please note that, although Expedia filters search results for “pet-friendly” properties, this hotel (Palmetto Charleston) only accepts dogs. They will very “kindly” turn you away and tell you to find another place. After driving nearly 300 miles, that’s not exactly a warm welcome."

HarbourView Inn
"Wonderful stay- the room was immaculate, the staff was always friendly and helpful, and the breakfast on the roof top was amazing. We enjoyed the happy hour at 5 and cookies at 9. Walking distance to everything."
