The Oak Alley Plantation is a 19th-century property with eight cottages in Vacherie, Louisiana, about a one-hour drive from New Orleans. The three-pearl property, has an cinematic atmosphere, and the exterior actually makes an appearance in the film "Interview With A Vampire." Built for a sugar baron in 1837, the Greek Revival main house and its reproduced slave quarters draws tourists for guided tours. Unfortunately, admission to the tour isn't included in room rates. The Cottages here have one or two bedrooms plus kitchenettes or full kitchens and feature traditional decor and homey, if worn, interiors. And there is a diner-style restaurant with expensive entrees where lunch and a free country breakfast is served.

Authentic and funky, this historic boutique -- located in a residential area on the French Quarter's far edge -- allows guests to experience the neighborhood as the locals do. It's also an easy walk to Frenchman Street, an exciting area in the Marigny experiencing a renaissance in live music and tapas-oriented restaurants. But while the old-world decor is charming enough in the lobby, it's less impressive in the slightly worn rooms, and bathrooms are in dire need of renovation.

The 143-room Royal St. Charles is a colorful mid-range hotel in the Central Business District, near the French Quarter. Despite its bright, borderline over-the-top styling, its offerings are fairly typical for a hotel of its category. The smallest rooms may feel a little cramped, but pricier rooms offer more space. Other features include a 24-hour fitness center, a coffee shop with some light fare in the lobby, and three meeting rooms. Note that there is a mandatory resort fee, but it covers Wi-Fi access. Rates are among the lowest in the area for this caliber of property, but the nearby International House Hotel has much nicer rooms for only slightly more, while the pricier Country Inn & Suites has a small pool.
