Soniat House
If you are looking for something a little quieter in the French Quarter, try the Soniat House, which is nestled into a more residential part of the area. The Soniat House is made up of three separate townhouses, each with their own balconies and courtyards. The Soniat is a great place to start your exploration of the city, with less traffic around the area you will find shops and restaurants most tourists miss. Since it only has 21 rooms and 12 suites, be sure to book early.
