Does anyone live in New Orleans or has anyone gone to Mardi Gras? The family wants to go in 2021. I am not a huge fan of crowds, so I was hoping to find out which hotels have balconies which we can watch the parades from. I've tried looking info up online, but I can't figure out which road the parade is on or which hotels have balconies on that road.
I've been, but don't remember much :) Just call one of the hotels on Bourbon. Becareful, gets a little dicey.Quote:

The Royal St. Charles looks like they have balcony rooms that go over St. Charles ave, which is where the major parades go. It is two blocks away from the French Quarter, which is where things aren't so "family friendly." I sent an email to them to verify the info. I am just waiting for an answer.

Hi, I am from New Orleans. I recommend staying at a hotel on St. Charles that is close to Canal.
Thank you for that info. I promise to be a good visitor while I am there. :)Quote:
