New Orleans Omni

 I was watching that travel show the other day with Laura McKenzie and she was down in the Big Easy for a tour.  She stayed at the  New Orleans Omni and had nothing but glowing remarks about the hotel.  In fact, she pointed out that the word "cocktail" was started at this French inspired hotel when patrons at the hotels bar were having a hard time pronouncing the French word Coquetel.

(the hotel is located at 621 St. Louis Street New Orleans)

The hotel itself has 346 rooms and ranks in high over at TripAdvisor.  Out of 146 area hotels the Omni comes in at #4 in terms of places for people to stay.  Room rates can be found in the low $130's and climb from there depending on the size and when you stay.

JohnNYC over at TripAdvisor had this to say about the hotel:  "The New Orleans Omni is one of the Best locations in the French Quarter, with the Napoleon House on one corner and Brennan's across the street, street musicians enliven your stroll down Royal and the hotel staff is sincerely at your beck and call.  Room service is prompt and beautifully delivered or left outside the door with a discreet knock to let you know it's arrived.  Breakfast in the Rib Room has the best scrambled eggs and bacon in town."
