Charming Hotel

Charming hotel with modern updates. Our room was clean spacious. Bathroom was updated and clean. The location is great near the Quarter but not in the noisy hustle bustle of the Quarter. Only minor complaint is with the bathroom. Though updated, it lacked space for personal toiletries. A couple of shelves on either side of the mirror to keep you stuff on and dry. The other is more towels. Two bath, two face and one hand towel is not enough. Not picking, but everything else was great. Look forward to staying here again.

Beautiful property within walking distance to Bourbon street. There are two buildings, both lovely old homes. Our room was very comfortable, with a balcony that we enjoyed tremendously. Bathroom was modern, which is always nice in an older building. The pool and hot tub were not modern, but that’s what made them so great. Thank you Rathbone staff for a perfect stay!

Suite in original Mansion

Rathbone Mansions was a lovely place to stay, old world charm and friendly service. Walking distance to Bourbon St. if you don't mind walking 14mins to Lafitte's Blacksmith Bar. Bed was comfortable but don't expect everything to be like a new hotel. You will the character & style of both Mansions.

Rathbone is very cozy and charming, and conveniently located. There were a few minor things that could be improved-- the kitchen sink in the room needed a new aerator (it sprayed water to the sides), and the lights in the pool area wouldn't turn on so it was a bit dark at night.

2 locations

it's not the easiest when you have a delayed flight, cant reach out after hours and hope to receive a text with the code to enter. so, that's what happened. i also didn't know that there were 2 locations so the code we eventually received, wasn't for the right location. aside from this, the stay was pleasant.

Creamer and coffee lacked attention. The beds are getting old as we had a hump between us. You have to waste 5 gallons of water before the shower finally heats up. It is tough to navigate schedules and transportation in LA. Overall, the hotel is very old, and we never used maid service, so for the most part, I'll give it a 4-star rate.
