Hotels in Louisiana, United States of America

Louisiana sits in the southeastern US along the Gulf of Mexico, with a humid subtropical climate that brings hot, sticky summers (often 90°F/32°C) and mild winters (around 55°F/13°C). It's world-famous for New Orleans' Mardi Gras, where you can catch beads on Bourbon Street, and for its jazz music born in the city's French Quarter clubs. In the cooler months from October to April, take a swamp tour through the Atchafalaya Basin to see alligators, or visit plantations along the Mississippi River like Oak Alley to learn about pre-Civil War history. Summer heat is perfect for a crawfish boil or a boat ride on Lake Pontchartrain, while spring brings the French Quarter Festival and cheaper hotel rates.
