Very quaint old historic hotel in the French Quarter, right by the Mississippi River and the river boats and walking distance to several restaurants and attractions. We were there for Jazz Fest and it was convenient to shuttles, etc. Staff was excellent and really a unique NOLA feel.

What a wonderful property. Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and had the best recommendations for restaurants. We had a charming courtyard view room which will be even better after the remodeling. We have found our hotel when we visit NO.

Visited New Orleans with my son for his 21st birthday. The hotel was in an absolutely perfect location and we felt completely safe walking everywhere. Diedre at the front desk was a gem, greeting us every time she saw us and even wishing my son happy birthday. She also gave us great dining recommendations. We will definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone.

This was a perfect location for our stay in the French Quarter. It sits on the edge so while you are within walking distance to all the attractions, it’s not in the middle of the crowds. Front desk was always friendly and helpful. The courtyard is so welcoming and a retreat from the busy area. I would have liked a more comfortable place to meet up with the rest of my party indoors, though, as it was rainy and cold for most of our stay there. The hallways could be loud at times - the doors do not close softly. Overall we really enjoyed our stay there. The historical, boutique feel of the place made it more authentic to our time in this iconic area.
