I'm taking my future wife on a cruise for our honeymoon... we will be
staying in new orleans the night after our honeymoon, the night of
July 24th.

I am looking for the perfect hotel to stay in. Ideally this hotel
would be close to new orleans type things, such as the French Quarter.

I want to spend $400 or less on the room, and it must be available for
the night of July 24, 2005. Extras like a great view, oversized tub,
steam shower or themed rooms would be great!

Hello and thank you for your question.

Really, the best hotel in New Orleans is the Windsor Court Hotel. 
It's a classic European-style hotel, so you shouldn't expect a themed
room, etc. but I guarantee you'll love it.

You can book directly at the hotel web site,

They do have availability for July 24.

A friend of mine recently spent a romantic anniversary weekend in New
Orleans. She and her hubby stayed at the Le Pavillon. They were very,
very pleased with the hotel.
