French Quarter. The French Quarter, also know as the Vieux CarrÃ©, is the oldest and most famous neighborhood in New Orleans. The Quarter, as it is commonly known, runs from the banks of the Mississippi River to Rampart Street and between Canal Street and Esplanade Avenue.
A block off the St. Charles and Canal streetcar lines, the Aloft is surrounded by an abundance of drinking and dining options in the Central Business District of New Orleans. It's a five-minute walk from the French Quarter's bustling Bourbon Street and within a mile of Cafe du Monde and St. Louis Cathedral.
