Not satisfied

The room that I paid for was over priced and the room had a shower that was dirty. After requesting a new room I was given a room that had mold in the shower. The last and final room was what I expected but was on another side of the hotel that was newly remodeled. Pictures of the room that was selected was false advertising. Also the hotel had no vegan options so we spent most of the time dinning out but lucky for us the town had plenty vegan options just not the hotel.

Amazing Couples Stay

The Kimpton was AMAZING!! They have a VERY friendly and accommodating staff. The amenities were great. The location is close to all of the action. My only gripe, if I had to make one, is the governor on the television. Bring a firestick in case it rains, or if you plan on being in your room for a while. 9.5/10 in my book. Highly recommend. I'm definitely coming back!

It was so central while also being in a quite area. The hotel is super chic and offered everything I need to be happy.,, 1) free coffee in the mornings with the option to buy breakfast in a beautiful cafe 2) very comfortable bed 3) modern decor with an art deco flair 4) spacious room 5) 2 nice restaurants with happy hour and events happening every night. I would absolutely come back!

Great Hotel in New Orleans

Whenever we’re in New Orleans, we love staying at this hotel. It’s in a great location and offers a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. The amenities are excellent—especially the Peacock Bar, the King’s Crown Bar, and the on-site coffee bar, all of which add to the overall experience. It’s consistently a wonderful stay, and we truly look forward to coming back every time.
