New Orleans has long been the largest city in Louisiana, and one of the premier cities in the world. It is the site the French Quarter, Canal Street, and many world-class hotels such as the Roosevelt, Jung and Monteleone.
During the 1930s, as automobiles became a more dominant and affordable means of transportation, and more highways were constructed, tourist courts were built, offering the privacy and comfort of a one-room accommodation.
Whether they were called courts, cottages, cabins, or lodges, they offered similar amenities. Gradually a newer, but similar, concept evolved: the motel, between an auto tourist camp and the traditional downtown hotel. And many adopted the "art deco" theme popular at the time.
Some of our favorite "tourist courts" and a few older motels located in the New Orleans area are shown below. You can also view more Louisiana area tourist courts and motels.
