The hotel itself is lovely, very tasteful classic New Orleans decor mixed with modern art, furnishings , and several great choices for meals and/or drinks. There is live entertainment on Thursday nights, and the staff from the front door and throughout are attentive and pleasant. There is a Happy Hour each day with freed drinks and snacks, and the staff working it, as well as the front desk and doormen are great tour guides and very prompt retrieving your car, etc. Rooms are well appointed and thoughtfully include luxurious robes, a clothes steamer, an umbrella in the closet and a lot of room to hang your belongings and stash suitcases. The location - perfect! Safe and made for walking near the Riverwalk!!

My husband and I spent a weekend visit in New Orleans (Thursday through Sunday) Checked out Monday morning. We enjoyed our stay at the Fontenot. Our room was clean and neat. Bed was comfortable and all the amenities in our room worked fine. Front desk was polite and courteous and offered various bars/restaurants in the area to visit. We did visit the bar inside of the Fontenot, The Peacock. They make wonderful cocktails btw. The hotel is walking distance to the casino, about 5 minutes. Around 10-15 min walk to Bourbon Street. Around 20min walk to Frenchman Street. There are various bars and restaurants to choose from. We enjoyed the nightlife and entertainment and definitely will be back. I highly recommend this hotel bc it’s close to all the entertainment BUT still quiet and cozy.
