Located steps from Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and the French Market, French Quarter Inns welcomes you to the ESSENCE 2009! Incredible music, strong sense of community, real inspiration- the things we love about the ESSENCE Music Festival are what we love about New Orleans! This year, as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of the ESSENCE Music Festival, join us in New Orleans for the “Ultimate Party Weekend.” Filled with top performers, empowerment seminars and good friends, there is no better place for this kind of fun than the French Quarter, and no more natural setting for it than America’s cultural capital. Looking for a great place to stay while you attend the Festival? Located in the Heart of the French Quarter, the Hotel St. Pierre & Andrew Jackson Hotel welcomes you with charming accommodations and the best locations in town to enjoy all the fun!
