The hotel was quintessentially New Orleans in its architectural style. The room was beautiful and clean. The common areas, including the bar, were comfortable, classic, and funky. The rooms could benefit from having a safe and a coffee/tea kettle or offering these essential morning beverages in the hotel lobby.

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.

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.

This property was exactly what we were looking for! It was just as advertised and more! Very clean, very intimate, well kept and the people were amazing. From the staff escorting us to our room for the vist viewing, to the local recommendations for activities and dining. Very low key for a relaxing adult trip, which was perfect for us.

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.

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!

Very unique aesthetic even for New Orleans. This place feels special. It’s conveniently located away from the French quarter but close enough to anything you’d like to get to. Street parking only which wasn’t an issue during my stay - surrounding area is residential so I wouldn’t expect this to change much. The service is what stood out most to me. Everyone went out of their way to ensure guests felt welcome and accommodated. I’d highly recommend this spot for couples or anyone looking for a unique stay outside the crowded quarter.

Words will never adequately express the level of excellence achieved by this NOLA oasis. My positive experience began days before my arrival. I received a call to confirm my reservation and Jenny inquired which room might be more to my liking. What a concept! I loved it. Upon arrival, I discovered that not only had they upgraded me, but my room was also ready early. What a wonderful surprise! The Welcome chocolates, the welcome drink, the attentive staff, the pool oasis, and the overall vibe of the hotel make it my new personal favorite hotel in the country. I will definitely be back!

This property is a top tier property — from the moment I parked, literally Mia assisted me from my car to my room and carried my bag for me. Any need or request I had was immediately met. The atmosphere is on another level. I’m a person who books a hotel based on how it looks. The pictures of this place won me over but have nothing on the beauty and design in person. It is stunning— the pool area, the room itself, the lobby, all of it was so gorgeous. The staff was superb as well. I can’t say enough! 10 out of 5 stars!!

Beautiful, Rowdy

The hotel was beautiful, the room was clean and very comfortable. Unfortunately, the property seemed mostly focused on being a pool and bar available to those not staying at the hotel. On the Sunday and holiday Monday we visited, there were easily 20-25 visitors in the tiny pool who paid a minimum bar tab for access to the property. The pool closed at 9 so it wasn’t going on late, but was very loud while it was open-even in the rooms. The line at the poolside bar seemed to be 4-6 people deep at all times with no priority for overnight hotel guests. There are pool side loungers reserved only for overnight guests, but there were people everywhere, it was definitely a pool party not a relaxing spot to have a drink. The property needs to share this information with guests before they book. We chose this spot in the Garden District thinking it would be quieter than those in the French Quarter and offer a spot to relax rather than a party, we were wrong. The following morning, there were still piles of used pool towels, leftover cups and dirty tables all around the pool area. The staff was friendly, but not helpful. Our room wasn’t ready until an hour after published check in time and any time we asked a question at the desk we were basically told “I don’t know.” Hotels.com advertises that the hotel offers gym access at a nearby facility but we were told this isn’t the case and we should call around to see if we could find a gym that offers day passes.

We had such a great, relaxing stay here. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. Every detail inside and out was gorgeous. We fully enjoyed having a drink out on the patio area right after we checked in and staying up late at the bar and talking to the guy who managed the property. We found out he grew up around San Jose which is close to us. He really made our first night so enjoyable. Our room was beautiful, very clean and quiet. We really loved the pool and the food at the bar by the pool. It was so nice that there was a café on the property also and it was within walking distance to so many restaurants and bars. I wish we could have stayed longer.
