Crowne Plaza New Orleans French Qtr - Astor by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff was nice as were the gentlemen working valet. Convenient to the fun in the French Quarters. The bathtub faucet ran constantly and the mattress was too firm."

New Orleans Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"I loved almost everything about this hotel!The elevators are set up in a way that you never have to share with other guests, bell hop takes care of your luggage, staff are very friendly and helpful, smash burger from the bar was very good, bed is comfortable and the location is perfect. My only complaint is the concierge never answering the phone but I’d still gladly return and recommend to others."

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

8/10 Good

"This was right on Bourbon street so your close within walking distance for most everything. The balcony was fun to be able to see the action on Bourbon street but be prepared for the very, very loud music until 2am. First appearances were upscale. The room was spacious with the balcony, which was dirty (wear shoes) However, after walking on the carpet in our room our feet were black, the toilet paper holder was falling off the wall, the streaming on the tv didn’t work. Housekeeping didn’t clean the sink or tub and didn’t vacuum when they came in."

The Jung Hotel and Residences

8/10 Good

"Hotel is in a great location to walk to Super Dome, French Market, Bourbon St, take trolley or bus, ride share service to any location. 20-25 minute ride to and from airport. Nice size room and bathroom. Clean and maintained well. Staff were great, helpful, & friendly. The only downside is the controlled setting for hot water. Luke warm or cold showers were taken during our 4 day stay. Overall, good stay. Great location and great staff."

Le Richelieu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A Love Letter to Hotel New Orleans There are hotels you simply stay in, and then there are hotels that become part of the story. Hotel New Orleans belongs firmly in the latter category. From the moment you step inside, there is an unmistakable sense of place. The atmosphere carries that wonderfully intoxicating New Orleans character: romantic, mysterious, historic, and just a little bit decadent. It feels less like checking into a hotel and more like stepping into a beautifully preserved chapter of the city itself. The architecture and design strike a remarkable balance between sophistication and soul. Nothing feels sterile or overly polished. Instead, there is texture, character, and a sense that the building has stories of its own. The details invite you to slow down and actually look around. And that is perhaps what I appreciated most. Hotel New Orleans doesn’t simply accommodate you. It gives you an atmosphere to inhabit. After spending time wandering through the city, returning to the hotel felt like stepping back into a quieter world. There is something wonderfully cinematic about it, especially in the evening when New Orleans begins to take on that particular glow that makes the city feel almost dreamlike. The experience is elevated by the hospitality. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever making the experience feel formal or forced. Those little moments of thoughtful service are what transform a beautiful property very memorable."
