Flight

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport

Louis Armstrong (MSY) is the closest airport and really. . . the only one we'd advise you to fly into. Unless you want a road trip included, in which case check out flights to Houston (IAH and HOU) and Atlanta (ATL). There many smaller airports nearby: -Gulfport/Biloxi (GPT) - Baton Rouge (BTR) - Jackson/Vicksburg (JAN) - Pensacola (PNS)

Hotel

Hampton Inn New Orleans-St. Charles Ave./Garden District

Rooms must be booked by October 11, 2022. Use the link above or call 504-899-9990, option 1, and mention you're with the "Weingarten-Busch party". The Garden District is a lovely part of New Orleans. Relaxed, quiet, and full of houses encapsulating the very best of New Orleans' architecture, the Garden District is not to be missed. Walk 9 minutes to Superior Seafood for happy hour ($1 oysters, $4 glasses of wine or beer, and a large frozen drink for the price of a small) or walk a block and a half the other way to sip on over 350 wines and eat the best fries in NOLA for 5+ years at the Delachaise in a converted historic train car. This hotel block is the closest accommodation to our reception venue.

Hotel

Holiday Inn Express New Orleans Dwtn - Fr Qtr Area

Rooms must be booked by September 15, 2022. Please book via https://www.hiexpress.com/redirect?path=rates&brandCode=EX&localeCode=en&regionCode=1&hotelCode=MSYKA&checkInDate=11&checkInMonthYear=102022&checkOutDate=12&checkOutMonthYear=102022&_PMID=99801505&GPC=BWW&cn=no&viewfullsite=true. On the edge of the Central Business District (CBD) and about a 20 minute walk to the French Quarter, this is close enough to the action but will still offer quiet evenings. We suggest taking a Lyft at night from the Quarter to the hotel but otherwise walking will work perfectly! The hotel itself is in a "safe" area but walking late at night out of the Quarter, especially with a few drinks in ya, is never suggested.

Hotel

Best Western Plus French Quarter Courtyard Hotel

Rooms must be booked by October 22, 2022. Call 504-524-3333 or 800-535-7862 to book and mention Busch - Weingarten wedding party. Alternatively, book via https://www.bestwestern.com/en_US/book/hotel-rooms.19087.html?groupId=R71WF3P3. On the edge of the Quarter, this will put you in the thick of the action. See Bourbon St. and then stumble back. Also, please leave Bourbon St. It is gross and this city has much more to offer.
