Before backpacks are packed and alarm clocks start ringing again, treat the family to one more unforgettable getaway in New Orleans. Chateau LeMoyne, tucked away on quiet Dauphine Street in the French Quarter, is the perfect home base for squeezing every last drop out of summer. Its peaceful courtyard, heated saltwater pool and charming resident courtyard frogs make it feel like a hidden oasis, even though you’re just steps from all the excitement of the French Quarter.
When everyone gets hungry, the hotel’s on-site restaurant Twisted Waffles offers delicious New Orleans favorites at family-friendly prices, making it easy to grab breakfast before heading out or enjoy dinner without venturing far.
One of the best things about staying at Chateau LeMoyne is that so many of New Orleans’ biggest family attractions are within walking distance. Stroll over to Jackson Square and climb aboard a mule-drawn carriage for a leisurely tour through the historic French Quarter. Watch paddlewheelers glide down the Mississippi before boarding the iconic Steamboat NATCHEZ for a cruise. Explore the fascinating exhibits at Audubon Aquarium, then let the kids burn off some energy at the newly expanded Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park, where you’ll find beautiful walking paths, a marsh-inspired playground and plenty of room to enjoy spectacular river views.
When it’s time for lunch or dinner, you’re surrounded by great choices. Eat a shrimp po-boy at Acme Oyster House, where the kids’ menu is always a hit with families, or enjoy burgers, barbecue, music memorabilia and plenty of rock-and-roll energy at Hard Rock Cafe.
The best family vacations don’t have to involve theme parks or packed itineraries. Sometimes they’re simply about spending time together, discovering new places and making memories before another school year begins. Chateau LeMoyne makes it easy to do all three—while enjoying one of the most walkable, historic and entertaining neighborhoods in America. Your last adventure of summer is waiting.
