Well, I would never go solely to New Orleans for a honeymoon, however it could be a fun place to visit...I've stayed at several places, so heres my take...
-The Hilton on the river is very nice and close to everything, it is probably one of the largest hotels in the area, so there is a lot to offer
-The French Market Inn is a reasonably priced simple hotel which has a nice New Orleans/Quarter/Garden Courtyard type feel to it.
-I stayed at the Astor Crowne Plaza in March, and I had a mixed review regarding it. I think it is probably generally very nice, and close to downtown, but Katrina victims had been staying there so it probably wasn't quite as nice as it traditionally is. It costs about the same amount as the Hilton, I believe.
-The Monteleone is a very nice hotel right in the Quarter, and it's very traditional.
- The Intercontinental is by far the best hotel I've stayed at in the city. It is more expensive, but worth it. I was with my father on business, and we were in a large top floor suite, so I can't speak for the normal rooms. However, I can't imagine they'd be anything but exceptional.
Restaurants-
Muriels- Is right in the corner of Jackson Square, one of the most popular and best places in the city. My family's favorite restaurant in town...food and service is excellent. Its not inexpensive (I spent about 150 for 2 in March, with a bottle of wine), but for the quality, it isn't absurd.
Redfish Grill- Right on Bourbon, a great place for local flavor food, more laid back dining, but still quite nice.
