It’s hard to believe fall is around the corner, but before summer slips away, consider booking a trip to the Big Easy celebrate the end of the season in Southern style. A few major destinations to keep on your radar:

Located in the heart of the city and French Quarter is the J Collection, a unique group of historic hotels that offer guests complimentary refreshing cocktails and frozen beverages, morning yoga classes and mimosas, and nightly wine and cheese hour.

The J Collection also helps adventurous travelers book all sorts of fishing excursions and whatever you catch is then cleaned, prepared, bagged, and delivered to your hotel of choice within the collection. The new experience starts at $600 and special discounted pricing is available to guests.

If you can act fast, book a stay at Hotel le marais or Hotel Mazarin at least 30 days in advance and enjoy rates up to 20% off — each is located in the heart of the French Quarter and within walking distance of the city’s top attractions.C

Each guest room features private balconies with views of Cathedral Gardens and the French Quarter’s street life.
