1 Moxy New Orleans Downtown/French Quarter Area
images
Terri, thank you for making my stay and exceptional one! Your kind soul and wonderful customer service does not go unnoticed. Much love from Dallas
2 The Troubadour Hotel New Orleans, Tapestry Collection by Hilton



images
Enjoyed our stay!
Beautiful hotel in a great location. Was close to all of the main attractions without being in the unruly part of town. Close to the trolley system and French Quarter! Well with I'm walking distance.
Deducted a star due to there being an issue with the heat in our first room. However, we were quickly moved and compensated for the inconvenience.
3 The Brandywine by Sextant



images
We got a really nice studio apartment, it was very clean, spacious for its size with modern appliances....great kitchen by the way. The only issue we had were with the club chairs in the apartment. They were riddled with food and random stains and they both needed a good deep clean. Another plus to this place is that you get a gorgeous view of New Orleans Business District from the rooftop here.
4 Magnolia Hotel New Orleans



images
Rooms were nice with great big windows for a nice view of the city. Staff was super friendly. Bed was very comfortable
The negative to this hotel was that some of the stuff wore masks and some did not. They have signs before coming in that masks are mandatory so why does this not apply to employees?
No microwave or fridge
Great location
5 Renaissance New Orleans Arts Warehouse District Hotel



images
Beautiful hotel in a very nice area of NOLA. A lot of great restaurants within walking distance and the streets are quiet at night allowing for good rest. The hotel has a great gym with Peloton bike, weights and steam sauna. Nice heated pool on the rooftop with great views of the city. We were able to swim in the pool in 60 degrees weather and had a great time. Overall, this will be my go to hotel in NOLA, way better than giant 30+ story hotels nearby. It feels more like a boutique hotel with great facilities.
Breakfast was decent and the restaurant also had a great happy hour from 3 to 8pm with super yummy discounted food and drinks.
6 Old No. 77 Hotel



images
I had such a relaxed and pleasant stay at Old No. 77! Every staff member is welcoming, professional, personable. Among my favorites are the baristas Celeste and Nick who helped me get started each day. And hats off to Randy and Martha whose friendly faces shined through their masks during Covid-19 time.
My room was lovely, I so appreciate how it was inviting, calming, and peaceful. Almost spa-like. It felt like a home away from home.
7 Cambria Hotel New Orleans Downtown Warehouse District



images
I enjoyed the hotel! The workers there were very helpful and everything was clean. The rooms were nice and comfortable and there is art everywhere. Amazing! I can't wait to come back
8 Selina Catahoula New Orleans



images
Very cool. Rooms are definitely on the smaller side, they aren't bad at all but just something to be aware of. Would definitely stay again!
9 Ace Hotel New Orleans



images
Beautiful hotel and amazing staff, everyone was so welcoming and accommodating.. the lobby was gorgeous, rooms are so spacious... loved it!! It will be the place to stay when we come back to NOLA
10 The Chloe



images
Beautiful hotel with great attention to detail. Rooms are large and bathrooms have all the amenities. Free standing tub, shower with multiple sprays and great pressure. Sitting area in the room, even a stereo with records. Charming gem in uptown. Restaurant and bar area is also worth a visit even if you are not staying on property. Multiple indoor/outdoor seating options including the pool area.
11 The Eliza Jane - In the Unbound Collection by Hyatt



images
The Eliza Jane is a perfect hotel for those who enjoy older buildings that have been converted. There are some original walls and parts of the original building which are appealing. The hotel also has a great location in the business district and just steps from the French Quarter. Staff were friendly and provided some good dining advice. I also give them kudos for providing an update prior to arriving to reflect my status.
There were a few aspects that could be improved. The furniture felt very dated like old leftovers from a different time. Also, the lighting was not great. The room was dark at night to the point my Zoom session was difficult to complete unless I was directly under a light.
12 The Saint Hotel, Autograph Collection



images
The staff here is amazing. Bob was very helpful with getting us set up and his professionalism, attitude and demeanor made us feel like we were next door at the Ritz. That being said, our upgraded room cost half as much as a Ritz basic room.
The roomservice food was fantastic. Separate entity, but they took great pride in their food and feedback.
The best shout out I need to give is to the bartender. She gave us some fantastic suggestions of places to try around town and was so kind.
The room was great, comfortable and clean, however the staff here is why we'll be coming back.
13 Hotel Peter and Paul



images
This place was absolutely amazing. Gorgeous details in each room. Comfortable bedding and premium linens. Jamal at the front desk was nothing short of AMAZING! Great energy, happy vibes, he made excellent recommendations and was quick to accommodate our every need. We started out in a petite room- full disclosure, those rooms are very tight... we upgraded to a king room and it was perfect! Lots of space , vaulted celilings, tall windows...breath taking. Simply beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel
14 Henry Howard Hotel



images
The hotel is BEAUTIFUL! If you want a gorgeously renovated swanky hotel that offers privacy, first class staff, and FREE MUFFINS AND COFFEE EVERY MORNING, look no further!!!!!!! We were able to meet most of the staff during our week long honeymoon - each and every one of them took time to get to know us, serve us fancy cocktails, share their stories, and offer insider recommendations on where to visit! We had a photo shoot with one of the owners who took the most BEAUTIFUL photos of us in our wedding attire around the property! Her family decorated the Christmas tree that week, and even made us a personalized Christmas ornament as a honeymoon keepsake!
15 Olivier House Hotel



images
This hotel is a "hidden gem", in New Orleans not even a block away from Bourbon Street, and a short walk to the French Quarter!
Charming and mystical, the castle-like aesthetic of the hotel feels cozy and unique. The antique furniture in my room was a great feature and really added to the historic feel of the city/hotel.
The staff was friendly, even with my constant coming and going from the hotel, and honestly made me feel welcome from the moment I checked in until I had to unfortunately check out.
Parking is offered valet-style for a reasonable nightly price, and access to your vehicle can be arranged with minimal hassle if you so desire.
Overall, I loved my stay at the Olivier House and they are definitely at the top of my list to rebook for my next trip to New Orleans!!
16 Elysian Fields Inn



images
This was the perfect place in NOLA. Location was an easy find off the highway and walking distance to all the hot spots. Plenty of safe street parking and the owners were even gracious enough to park our car in their garage. The inn was immaculate, bright and well appointed. But the host!! Michelle is fabulous. She gave us more insight, tips and info on how best to enjoy this precious, unique city than we’d ever get on the internet!
17 Maison de la Luz



images
By far the nicest hotel in NOLA. The design and service are top notch! Highly recommend
18 The Pontchartrain Hotel



images
There is no reason to stay anywhere else in New Orleans. It checks every box! Location, amenities, ambiance, staff, comfort, cleanliness. From making the initial reservation with Brittany, the valet’s greeting as we pulled up to service at either of the restaurants or the famous roof top bar, the staff is exceptional. The food and drink do not disappoint either! And then the suite - Sweet!!! The pictures are worth a thousand words.
19 Hotel Monteleone



images
Had a lovely stay here! Staff was very accommodating. Felt very safe and it was close to everything we wanted to see. Room was small but clean and well appointed with a coffee machine, toiletries and a fridge. Appreciated coming home to a sparkling clean hotel room each day. Would definitely stay here again!
20 Columns



images
Every hotel bar should be like the Columns bar. The staff is very attentive without being overbearing. The drinks are very good, but not great. The atmosphere is entirely welcoming. The outdoor seating is a must to truly enjoy the patio and courtyard. The interior is absolutely beautiful if you appreciate architecture and decor. Would stay or visit here any time.
