New Orleans Hotels

My husband and I had a great 4 days in New Orleans. The B & B was great, the breakfast was awesome and the owners,[...] were easy going and very helpful. You get a complimentary bev. when you come and there are always baked goods around. We were sorry we missed the Fri./Sat. social time but I guess we'll have to come back! We went on a Plantation tour run by Isabella tours (recommended by [...]). They picked us up right at the front door and we also went on Dr. Wagnor's Honey Island Swamp Tour. That was Great! The B&B is located near the garden district so we walked to the restaurants at night since my husband didn't feel like driving.

I really love the bed and breakfast. The houses were lovely and the couple was extremely nice. I loved my breakfast and other treats. Although for people who want to party in the French Quarter all night, the location is not ideal.

We booked the Lamothe House based on reviews here and it being only one of three places with rooms available in our budget range near the French Quarter. Glad we did! The Lamothe House is just a block away from French Street, which is, as the proprieter put it, "Burbon street for locals". It's where the party at, not the crazy drunk tourist vomiting up oysters and daquiris outside the strip club party of Burbon Street, but the live music, bar-hopping, street fair, authentic party of French Street. And despite the proximity to fun, our unit was pretty quiet. The "Deluxe King Room" we booked was not available when we showed up (presumably because the whole place was undergoing major renovations when we were there), but they put us in a double queen room in the back apartment unit which was newly redone with brand new furniture (and paint, so it smelled a bit). It didn't have quite the antique charm of the pictures of the hotel, but the rooms were elegantly decorated with very high ceilings and very comfortable beds. The pool (with jacuzzi) is beautiful in an interior garden courtyard of the main building. The main building is original French Quarter, very beautiful. All in all it's a beautiful and charming place in the ideal location.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel exudes charm and character. This is not a five-star modern resort, but we knew that going into it. We wanted to experience a bit of "Old New Orleans" and this hotel provided just that.

I found everyone at this hotel to be extremely friendly and helpful, in particular the concierge and bellman. The room was clean and comfortable, especially the pillows. Only a short distance from the French Quarter. I would highly recommend Loews New Orleans.

Couldn't have been any better! We were upgraded to a much larger room because we arrived early and our room wasnt ready. Location is within walking distance to everything. I would recommend comfortable shoes. The staff was very pleasant and helpful w/ dining choices. Our room faced the river and the view was beautiful especially at night. Check out Frenchman st. For fun nightlife. Magazine St. in the garden district is also lots of fun. If you want an interesting and delicious dining experience, try bacchanal rest.its a $10. cab ride away.

A wonderful time, good price, and free food and drinks for the guests.

loved the drury. what a wonderful surprise! i would surly stay there again.

Perfect location off of I-10 and was a great rate for the room. Very clean hotel

The staff were friendly prompt in there help of us. The room was clean and actually bigger than some of the previous hotels. The free continental breakfast was filling and food was well stocked. The staff were very precise in directions of the beautiful city of new orleans.

Had a wonderful stay for 3 nights. The staff could not be more accommodating. I had to work from the hotel while my husband had the opportunity to spend the days at his leisure. The housekeeping workef with me and my crazy work schedule to clean the room. The concierge worked with my husband to plan his day with some enjoyable sidetrips.

My husband and I are originally from New Orleans and have never stayed at Le Pavillon when going back to visit. The staff was wonderful and the friendly New Orleans people that we miss. Everything was perfect except the room had a "musty" odor. The beds were comfortable and the room was very large. We had breakfast in the hotel restaurant and it was great. They had Community Coffee in large coffee cups and plenty to eat at the buffet. We will go back.

Everything was great on this short fun stay. Enjoyed the location and the hotel was all decorated for Christmas. It was beautiful.

This hotel offers everything; Great location, Friendly Staff, Clean Rooms...

Only 2 small complaints to an otherwise excellent hotel. 1 - the pocket door to the bathroom was very hard to slide and rather noisy. 2 - it would have been nice to have a mini frig in the room. Other than that the room was clean and comfortable, the location was perfect (pretty much in the middle of the French quarter but amazingly quiet), and the staff were all friendly.

Stayed here during a recent visit to N.O. We had never been to N.O. and after researching hotels in the area, Hotel Le Marais seemed like the best choice. It's close enough to Burbon Street, but far enough away to not be overwhelmed by that area. The hotel is also within walking distance of great shopping. Walking in at night, the purple light will throw you off at first. Your eyes will need to adjust. Anyway, the hotel is very clean, the staff was very friendly and accomadating and helpful. Security is excellent. You will need your pass key to access the room, the elevator and stairs. There are also security cameras everywhere. This is a small hotel, so there are only four floors and the space here is used very well. We stayed on the third floor with a view of the courtyard/pool area. The room was very clean and had a 40" flat panel t.v., very comfortable beds and pillows. The only complaint about the room was the shower. It's very small and there is not a lot of water pressure. Maid service was very good at keeping the room in order. Every morning there was a continental breakfast of eggs, sausage, bacon, bagels, muffins, toast, jellys, juice, coffees, teas, and yogurts. This hotel also has a heated pool in a really nice patio area. There is also a business area with two p.c.'s and a printer. The bar area is nice if not a little small. At check in, you will receive a drink pass for the bar...nice touch. Overall, no complaints. If I went back to N.O. I would stay here again.

Everything was "first class" except the bathroom --no hot water at bath time both days, and VERY low water pressure; could barely get wet in shower.

Wonderful hotel the resturant was great, was a little on the 1980's dated applicances. And service was not automatic. But overall I would highly recommend the hotel

Try the club level-you will like it! Service and rooms all 5 star.

The hotel is super, our suite was very comfortable but... Our room was not ready until 6:00PM. Later the front desk gave a very drunk couple a key to our room in the middle of the night then called to ask I if I was a guest in to the hotel! Once I told him my name, he said, "oh yes, there you are in the system, that is your room!" Really? You give a drunk a key to my room in the middle of the night then call up to challenge why I am in MY room. I could have forgiven this but the front desk clerk did not even offer an apology for giving out a key to my room; instead he called to challenge why I was in the room. On the whole the staff was friendly but they could use some organizational training (and this was not an event weekend).

Excellent place to stay when you will visit the french quarter. Nice en big room, lot of space. Beds were oke. Good price comparing other places

Family friendly alternative to french quarter lodging. No fees for parking,clean comfortable rooms with nice kitchenettes, blocks away from ferry landing in historic Algiers. Ferry takes you to canal street, and river walk. Actually located on Naval Base; a bit hard to find on GPS with rental car but helpful staff to guide you in.

Parking at the Hotel was too high @ $40 a night. It was very loud and noisy on Burbon street till about 2-3 am even during the week.

Staying at the Royal Senesta right on Bourbon Street was one of the best ideas I've had in a long time. The hotel was beautiful and right in the heart of the French Quarter. We were able to walk to almost all destinations. Their Sunday Brunch was lovely, and the waite staff was wonderful. Great trip.

Would highly recommend Bienville House Hotel, Decatur St, New Orleans. The location, 3 blocks off Canal St, in the French Quarter, is ideal for restaurants, shopping, etc. Decatur is a busy street but we heard no street noise in the room. Good continental breakfast in morning. Friendly staff.

When we checked in we found the standard room we had reserved to be without any windows making it dark and stuffy. The desk clerk indicated no other rooms were available at the time but if we would go have lunch and come back in 2 hrs she would have another room available. The new room was very nice and well worth the $25 a day additional charge. The location in the French Quarter was close to everything without being too noisy, a plus for us. The staff was very nice and did their best to assure a pleasant stay.

Great view, location, staff. But....renovations in the whole downstairs area were VERY obnoxious both in smell, sound and convenience. Was disappointed that no mention was made of this and also no allowances or perks give for putting up with it. I was on the 16th floor and could still hear and feel the drilling!

Beautiful hotel. Staff was great, especially with ongoing construction. Hotel has unique advantage of great jazz at I-Club within hotel.

First of all, the weekend we were visiting there were 35,000 Lutheran children visting for a convention they do every 3 years. We had 2 rooms reserved for July 19th-July 23rd. Both of the rooms were supposed to have 2 queen beds with the possibility of a roll-about bed for our 5th & 6th guests. When we arrived to check in they said they didn't have rooms with those options because of the convention. We got 1 room with a king size bed and another with 2 double beds. Luckily our 6th person cancelled last minute so 2 of us were stuck with the king size bed and the other 3 of us got stuck with the double beds. The birthday girl had been to New Orleans 5 times before and just loves this hotel. The front desk manager was very kind to give us a bar credit and comp our hotel breakfasts for the inconveinence of our room mix up. Besides the hotel mix up, everything was flawless with our visit. We could walk to the French Quarter, the Riverwalk shopping mall and to the St. Charles trolley cars. We met the friendliest bartender in the hotel restaurant "rene". Laura gave us 5-star service throughout our stay. She gave us lots of helpful information on sights to see and recommendations for meals at some of her favorite restaurants... all which we loved. The chef at the hotel "rene" was such a delight. I guess it's been under a year since the restaurant opened but the food was beyond compare. From the smoked garlic soup with a poached farm egg & truffle oil to the charcuterie platter...the menu was incredible!!! We went to Acme Oyster House for dinner Thursday. We got stuck at W.I.N.O. Friday for most of the day during the terential rains and tried wines from all over the world! Friday night we went to Louisianna Crab Shack on the Mississippi river. Saturday we went to Delashaise on St. Charles (which was one of Laura's recommendations) where we had the infamous "Shrimp Po-Boy", a grilled cheese cooked with apple butter and house fries cooked in goose fat... all heavenly. Saturday night was the big birthday dinner at Borgne (which I saw in my June issue of Bon Appetit). There was an article about the up coming BON APPETIT GRUB CRAWL in NOLA. The executive chef Brian Landry is amazing!!! The restaurant was by far 5 stars and had some of the best food we've ever tasted! The oyster spaghetti was outstanding! & The hazelnut cream pudding was delicious!!! We would recommend it to anyone! Sunday was our last day there. We went on a swamp tour with. It was mind blowing! I'm so glad we got the opportunity to see alligators up close! We also got a ton of history about the swamps and bayous of the state and how the alligator populations have increased since they're worth money and people do like to eat them. Lastly, we shopped at the Frenchman's Market to buy souveniers. We walked all around Jackson square and eventually made it back to our hotel for dinner... Overall, the trip was just amazing and we all can't wait to go back again next summer. We will be staying at the Art Renaissance hotel again for sure! It's such a beautiful hotel and the staff was just so wonderful to us. I believe I'll be staying a week because there's just so much to see in only 4 days. I hope this feed back is helpful to you for future recommendations on bookings. Thank you.

Located approximately 10 minutes walk from the French Quarter, with some good bars and restaurants in and around the hotel. The lobby artwork is very impressive, with a bright and airy atmosphere. We received an indoor room, it would have been nice to have a view outside. We were also given a room with two doubles, I asked for a king size bed but none were available. The reception staff were helpful when arranging a day trip to the plantation. The gym was of good quality, great views from the pool, but this was fairly crowded in the evening. Would definetely stay here again.

Everything was awesome the staff was great the bar was wonderful we was very close to bourbon street the whole trip was jus wonderful my entire family enjoyed the stay

Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet, and close enough to Bourbon street to walk to.

The Westin had a great location and an even better view. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We decided on the River view was was not let down. Amazing view of new orleans. The only complaint was that the bathtub was not that big, (was looking for a garden tub). Also there wasnt a hottub in the pool area. The pool is heated and has an amazing view of the entire city on the 29th top floor though. They are doing construction so we heard lots of noise around 8:30 am but I assume that wont last forever and we were already up so it didnt bother us. Overall, very clean and nice, would probably stay there again in the summer (b/c of the pool, but if winter, Id opt for a place with a hot tub).

This is a decent hotel with a great location. easy to walk to all places in the french quarter. We had a good time there and would come back to it. Few things - there is no elevator to the swimming pool/rooftop. you must go up a narrow staircase in order to get to there. I just don't see elderly folks making it up there safely.... You need to switch elevators once, on the 11th floor, to go to your room. This is slightly annoying but you get used to it after a while. In spite of the above I would still recommend this hotel.

This was a great find. We visit New Orleans once or twice a year and stay a various places. If you want to avoid the French Quarter this is a good location for getting around. The rooms all recently redone. Nice bathrooms/showers though small. Refrigerator and microwave all new and clean. Strongly recommend just remember this is not a hotel so no daily maid service but replacement towels available at front desk. Courtyard very nice for relaxing.

At first we thought we were in a bad location for everything we wanted to see BUT then we figured out that the $3 a day trolly took us everwhere we want to be or see within 20 minutes . Uptown, garden district , river walk, French Qtrs it was easy to get to. The staff were the most engaging and helpful I have ever experienced. The Hotel was clean and well kept,Plenty of places to eat within 5 minutes walking distance

I booked this hotel because of the reviews and was not disappointed. The Staff are absolutely excellent. The rooms are small but we were upgraded to a small suite and got a great value for the money.

Stayed here for Labor Day weekend. Location is excellent as it's really close to everything but you're not smack bang in the middle of all the noise. Breakfast was good, rooms were fine, fridge came in handy. Bathroom a little on the small side, but fine. I'd stay here again, great value in an amazing city. Enjoy!

I was impressed by the service and friendly staff this was first time my friend had stayed at a 4 star hotel and he was truly impressed. I've stayed at the Waldorf in NYC, and this was by far superior. I think the 40.00 parking rate is a little steep, for outdoor parking. The view from our room was not great but OK, but again it was the service, I like to feel pampered on vacation and the staff accomplished that! From the front desk to the pool staff to each Bellman, all of their suggestions and recommendations were spot on

It's a great hotel in a good location but rooms are quite small even though its quite expensive.

Excellent location near WWII Museum and easy access to bus/street car. Great dining near by whether Zea's , Emeril Demonico or Voodoo BBQ. The staff is great and rooms are okay if a bit dated and on small side.

Loved the loft room as my daughter and I felt like we had privacy. Hotel was very nice as were the staff. Located right near the trolley and some nice restaurants. Good value for the money.

The Hotel Mazarin is a boutique hotel in the French Quarter that is half a block from Bourbon street. We had two rooms, a double the opened to the courtyard that was spacious, and a petit king that was in the "quieter" section. We were on the third floor but had to take the elevator to the 2nd floor and then walk up a flight of stairs. This room was tiny, barely wider than the king sized bed. One side had no bed side table. It was ok because we didn't spend much time in the room, but it WAS one of the smallest rooms I've ever stayed in. The rooms were clean with comfortable beds and duvets and plenty of pillows. The towels were plentiful and soft. The bathroom was small as well in both rooms. Single sink and narrow ledge that really wasn't adequate for all my toiletries. Our key cards kept deactivating. I asked for a rollaway for the double room and was told two days in a row one was not available because they were so full. On the third day I was told they don't have rollaways. They have an included breakfast that was basic, but a nice option. All the staff was very friendly. I would consider staying here again, but I'd get a larger room.

Would highly recommend this hotel. Great location, friendly staff. complimentary hot breakfast and very nice room.

Went to a writers conference that took place between Dec 16 - 21 in New Orleans..The staff were simply awesome and helpful and the rooms very clean. Excellent location also.

Have made many trips to New Orleans, all for weekend getaways or to attend certain music festivals that N.O. have. First time in this hotel. Very enjoyable experience. Very quaint, small hotel. Rooms are small but updated and clean. This the best way to enjoy the French Quarter. We lived in N.O. many years ago and continue to come back. Only to minor negatives. Still no elevator, but not really a problem. No bath tub (wife loves her bath tub) and no provision for parking by the hotel; you have to find your own. There is Central Parking Co. lot next door where you can park overnight for $35 if a place is available. The location cannot be beaten. Two blocks from Jackson Square. We loved it.

my husband and i spent 4 nights in the French Quarter to celebrate our birthdays and we absolutely loved this hotel. The location is perfect, just steps from Bourbon Street. We got free continental breakfast, drinks and staff could not be any friendlier. I would definitely come back.

everything was perfect. Friendly people always willing to help you. Let us check in early but als had storage for luggage. Breakfast was great. Hotel room was clean. Was undergoing some renovation by the pool at the time so they had a scaffold set-up there. A couple blocks from canal street and the bus/riverfront trolly system at a $3 for a day pass. Great value for the price

Grabbed a last minute one-night stay at an incredible price. The location was outstanding (although parking predictably expensive) and the feel of the place was classy/very New Orleans French Quarter. The room I reserved (petit queen) was European in size and truly wouldn't have been comfortable for 2 ... having said this, I knew what I was getting into before I booked it and found it very comfortable. The room and floor I was on was in need of "refreshing." I was told by the bartender that the hotel was in the process of renovating floor-by-floor, which is good to know. The bathrooms are typical of an old hotel - and part of the experience ... not much counter-space in this room - but again part of the package if you want the French Quarter feel (I'm sure there are exceptions but not at this price and with this level of class!).

I was looking for a hotel for my husband and I to stay at for a quick trip to New Orleans and this was the perfect choice. It is a beautiful hotel, great rooms, great pool. We did not eat here, so I cannot comment on the food. The location was ideal for us - right in the French Quarter but far enough away from the chaos of Bourbon Street.
