Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.

Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.

"Located in a Beaux Arts building two blocks from the French Quarter, the International House is a property that balances modernity with a sense of place."

Ample windows give a wide-screen feel to the corner rooms, but ask for a higher-floor assignment to minimize morning street noise.
