New Orleans hotel prices: what 15 hotels cost, measured Sep 28, 2026
On September 28, 2026, the median all-in price of a New Orleans hotel in our snapshot was $143 a night, for Nov 2 to Nov 4 with 2 adults: the middle of the going rates at the 12 hotels whose sites reported taxes and fees, which ran from $65 to $215.
These are the 15 hotels Google Hotels returned for our search for hotels in New Orleans, each priced on every booking site it listed (53 sites in all), on one date: not every hotel in New Orleans, and prices change daily. Among the 25 cities we priced on September 28, 2026 for the same stay, New Orleans's median was tied for the 12th lowest. At 3 more hotels no site reported a before-tax price, so we have listed prices only ($94 to $160 a night), which may leave out taxes or fees; they are left out of the all-in figures.
By their names, 2 of the 15 are in the French Quarter. Our data does not record the neighborhood of the others; each hotel's page names the hotel.

What New Orleans hotels cost, by star class
On September 28, 2026, the median all-in going rate by Google Hotels' star class: 4-star hotels $158 (8 hotels); 3-star hotels $125 (4 hotels). Per night, for Nov 2 to Nov 4. With this few hotels per class, one hotel moves a median a lot. The going rate is the price the largest number of listings that named a room or offered free cancellation agreed on (ties go to the lower price).
The table counts hotels with all-in prices only; the 3 hotels with a listed price only are in the list below it, marked "listed".

Taxes and fees in New Orleans
On September 28, 2026, taxes and fees added a median of 18.0% ($22 a night) to the before-tax going rate of a New Orleans hotel, as the booking sites reported them to Google Hotels. Across the 12 hotels with both prices it ranged from 10.2% to 18.9%, from W.G. Creole House 1850 to voco St. James Hotel by IHG. Our data does not split the gap into taxes and fees, so it cannot say which part, if any, was a resort or destination fee.
At 3 hotels no site reported a before-tax price, so their listed prices may leave out resort or property fees: The Quisby, The Jung Hotel & Residences and Dauphine Orleans Hotel.
Before you book, compare the total on the final booking screen. More: resort fees explained, do resort fees show in the price? and hotel booking fees explained.

How often a site was 5% or more below the going rate
On September 28, 2026, at 14 of the 15 New Orleans hotels a site's price was 5% or more below the hotel's going rate, by a median of 21% ($36 a night). The study's own count, before taxes and fees, from its per-hotel CSV: 14 of the 15 New Orleans hotels with a price.
A lower price is not always the same deal: it can be a smaller room, a non-refundable rate, or a listing that names no room. Each hotel's page shows which sites named a room.

Which booking sites were lowest most often in New Orleans
On September 28, 2026, at the 14 hotels where a site was 5% or more below the going rate, the lowest all-in price was on Super.com at 7, Etrip.net at 3, Vio.com at 3, goseek.com at 2, Traveluro at 2, Billabook.com at 1, KAYAK.com at 1 and Kiwi.com at 1 (a tie counts for each site). By the study's before-tax count, the cheapest site there: Super.com at 7, Traveluro at 2, Vio.com at 2, Billabook.com at 1, goseek.com at 1 and KAYAK.com at 1.
That is one date and one stay; for your dates another site may have the lowest price. Across every city we priced: the cheapest site to book hotels, measured.

Free cancellation at New Orleans hotels
On September 28, 2026, at 12 of the 15 hotels at least one site showed Google's free-cancellation label on its lowest listing; at 0 of them the lowest price itself carried it. At the other 12, the lowest price with free cancellation was a median of $13 a night (16%) above the lowest price.
The label is what the listing showed on Google Hotels; read the cancellation terms on the booking page. When it is worth paying for: is free cancellation worth it?

The hotels with the biggest gaps between sites
On September 28, 2026, these New Orleans hotels had the widest gap between the lowest and the highest site, per night (all-in where the sites reported taxes and fees, else listed prices):

- The Troubadour Hotel New Orleans: $61 on Traveluro to $123 on Clicktrip.com, 102% above the lowest (25 sites).

- Virgin Hotels New Orleans: $143 on Super.com to $249 on Hotel prive, 74% above the lowest (28 sites).
The highest price is often a different room or rate, so the gap shows how far apart listings were, not a saving. The snapshot kept up to 28 listings per hotel, so higher prices may be missing.

When to book: what our data can and cannot say
Our New Orleans prices come from snapshots taken on a few dates, so they cannot tell you the cheapest month to stay in New Orleans, or how far ahead to book. They show one stay on one date, every booking site side by side.
We have priced this New Orleans stay once, so we cannot show how its prices moved.
What we found across all cities: do hotel prices drop closer to the date? and how far in advance to book a hotel. If you book a refundable rate, a price drop alert tells you if the price falls later.
