The Blackbird Hotel was perfectly located — we could walk pretty much everywhere we wanted to go, from Magazine Street to great restaurants on Prytania, Central City history spots, Lagniappe Bakehouse, and more. Street parking was also surprisingly easy! The hotel itself is very clean and modern with a touch of historic charm. The pool area is beautiful, and both bars (inside and outside) were great with standard pricing for the area. They also offer a weekday happy hour from 4–6, which is a nice perk. The only thing that felt overpriced was the coffee shop — $7 for a cup of tea is steep. Service was friendly and efficient from check-in to anything we needed throughout our stay. Our room was chic, spotless, and the bed was super comfortable. My only downside was the value for the price. The hotel is boutique-sized and while it definitely has a great vibe, two nights at $860 felt pretty overpriced. Based on other stays, I’d expect this to be more in the $230–$260/night range. At that price point I’d 100% recommend it without hesitation; at the higher rate, I’m not sure it felt worth it, especially since there are other similarly stylish, walkable options nearby at a lower cost. That said, we still had an excellent stay and I’d rate the experience itself a solid 5/5!

It was an ok experience. The staff were nice. Since the weather was cold during my stay, the portable AC units were not working well in two rooms I stayed, unfortunately. I wish there was a kettle for boiling hot water.

No service, often times waiting at the front desk for a long time. Cockroach in room, did not service room one day, no bathroom amenities even though we got a suite which is just a slightly bigger room with a tiny closet (some rooms have no closets).

Staff and design stood out. However there could have been more staff on any given shift. Those who were on went above and beyond. Some three star boutique amenities were notably absent. Suite does not include a desk or sitting area so if working while traveling call ahead. Overall a great location, beautiful space with skilled people.

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. So full of character. Dark, sultry, unique. The staff was amazing, super friendly and ready to help. Drinks were delicious. We were walking distance to lots of restaurants if you want to venture off. Uber was always 2 min away. Short drive to/from the airport. We will be back!

Blackbird was a stunning hotel with friendly staff and a really chilled feel. We absolutely loved exploring New Orleans, but made it even better to be able to come back and relax in a beautiful pool area for a reset. The free street parking was also a big perk.

Probably one of the best boutique hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. The staff sees to all the details of making your stay feel personal. Hand written note, box of chocolates on your bed, steamer in closet. I love the vibe. Pool was great, drinks delish and setting, perfect.

Beautiful Renovation

We had a wonderful stay. Keep in mind, it is NOLA and an old building, so the room is small, but very well done. Also, the pool is amazing. People are able to buy a day pass to the pool, so it was very busy one day (4th of July). Having the bar by the pool was great.
