From Fodors.com, these are all in the French Quarter proper. I really like the cottages at Hotel Maison de Ville, and the Monteleone. Oh, yeah, the cottages at the Holiday Inn-Chateau LeMoyne. Cottages are a great thing for families, but upscale, don't get me wrong. The Monteleone is swanky.

This small, romantic hotel lies in seclusion
amid the hustle and bustle of the French
Quarter. Tapestry-covered chairs, a gas fire
burning in the sitting room, and
antiques-furnished rooms all contribute to a
19th-century atmosphere. Some rooms are in
former slave quarters in the courtyard; others
are on the upper floors of the main house.
Breakfast is served with a rose on a silver
tray, and port and sherry are served in the
afternoon. Other meals can be taken at a small
adjacent restaurant called the Bistro. Visitors
who seek a special hideaway will love the
hotel's Audubon Cottages--off the street, each
with a patio--two blocks from the hotel.

The grande dame of French Quarter hotels, with
its ornate baroque facade, liveried doormen, and
shimmering lobby chandeliers, was built in 1886
and completely renovated in 1996. It's the
quarter's oldest hotel and is operated by the
fourth generation of the Monteleone family.
Rooms are extra large and luxurious. Fabrics are
rich, and there is a mix of four-poster beds,
brass beds, and beds with traditional
headboards. Junior suites are spacious, and
sumptuous VIP suites come with extra pampering.
The pool and exercise room are on the roof; the
slowly revolving Carousel Bar in the lobby is a
landmark. AE, D, DC, MC, V. 600 rooms, 35

This elegant white-marble hotel, built in 1960

the grand St. Louis Hotel of the 1800s.
Sconce-enhanced columns, gilt mirrors, fan
windows, and three magnificent chandeliers blend
to re-create an aura that reigned in New Orleans
more than a century ago. Rooms, though not
large, are well appointed with marble baths and
marble-top dressers and tables; some have
balconies. The well-known Rib Room Restaurant
makes its home on the lobby level. The old New
Orleans map that covers one wall of the lounge
will fascinate anyone interested in history. AE,
