Plaza Suite Hotel Resort

The Resort & Setting

Plaza Suite Hotel Resort is an independently run timeshare property in New Orleans, offering vacation ownership weeks backed by an RCI affiliation. Being independent rather than part of a large hotel brand, it runs its own management and owners' structure, while the RCI tie-in gives owners a route into a worldwide exchange network if they fancy trading their week for a stay elsewhere. It's a straightforward entry point into timeshare ownership in one of the most distinctive cities in the United States.

New Orleans: The Area & Things to Do

New Orleans needs little introduction — it's a city built on music, food and history, and most of what makes it famous sits within a short distance of the resort. The French Quarter, Jackson Square and Bourbon Street are all roughly a mile away, putting Creole architecture, street performers and the city's nightlife firmly within walking distance. Frenchmen Street in the Marigny, a few minutes further on, is the go-to spot for live jazz and blues away from the Bourbon Street crowds. History buffs can take in St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 or the New Orleans Jazz Museum, both close by, while the Garden District's oak-lined streets and antebellum mansions make an easy trip for a change of pace. No visit is complete without coffee and beignets at Café Du Monde, open around the clock since 1862. Beyond the everyday sights, the city's calendar is built around big events — Mardi Gras in particular draws huge crowds every January and February — plus a steady run of festivals and live music throughout the year.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

Owners who decide Plaza Suite Hotel Resort no longer fits their travel plans can list their week for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. It's a private, owner-to-owner marketplace: you set your own asking price, your listing is visible to buyers actively looking for New Orleans weeks, and interested parties contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small, one-time listing fee to get their week in front of buyers.

Because Plaza Suite Hotel Resort is an independent property, resale transfers go through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded resale desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, what the annual maintenance fee is for the week in question, and whether the association exercises any right of first refusal on resales — these details vary by resort and aren't published figures we can quote here, so always check with Plaza Suite Hotel Resort's management before finalising a deal. A resale buyer typically takes on the week itself and the ongoing maintenance fee obligations going forward; any special assessments, points or exchange credits tied to the seller's account usually stay with the seller unless the resort's paperwork says otherwise, so it's worth asking the resort directly what transfers and what doesn't.

Renters, meanwhile, are mostly asking practical questions: how close the resort sits to the French Quarter and other attractions, whether the unit size suits their group, and what dates line up with Mardi Gras, festival season or the quieter shoulder months.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

New Orleans runs hot and humid through summer, with hurricane season stretching from June to November, so owners renting out weeks in that window should factor the weather into their listing. Mardi Gras (January–February) and the December holidays are the busiest, highest-demand stretches, while spring and autumn offer milder weather and thinner crowds — often an easier sell for renters who'd rather skip the peak-season crowds. Getting around the French Quarter and nearby neighbourhoods is best done on foot or by rideshare, as parking is limited, which is worth mentioning to anyone renting your week.
