Anything goes in the Big Easy — and amongst Mardis Gras celebrations, crawfish boils, and a thriving music scene, celebrities blend in with the rest of the madness that makes up this quirky Louisiana city. While TV and film tax incentives have drawn more and more set locations to New Orleans over the past few years — The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, 12 Years a Slave, and Looper were all filmed there — celebrities including Bob Dylan and Helen Mirren have long been fans of this city. Many others have followed suit — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, and Nicolas Cage have all owned property here in the past 10 years.
Where to stay: With its three-decade-long history, suite accommodations, and thriving arts scene, the Windsor Court Hotel treats every guests like a celebrity — even if you're not former guests Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z.
