The hype
Travelers love the walkable location and friendly staff but consistently note the rooms feel tired and need a refresh.
Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette French Q
$150-250 / noć
Rezerviraj ovo ako You want the French Quarter location without the Bourbon Street hangover, housed in a historic jazz-themed skyscraper.
Zašto Ljudima Se Sviđa
- Technically in the CBD but literally across the street from the French Quarter
- Historic 1925 'skyscraper' architecture with unique room layouts
- Tacklebox restaurant on-site serves solid charbroiled oysters and gumbo
Brzi pregled: A convenient, historic base that's showing its age with peeling wallpaper and thin walls, but the location makes up for the wear.
Pregledano od @WayfaringAimlessly: I stayed here for a mix of work and exploring, and the jazz theme totally won me over. The lobby bar is a whole mood with that brass wall, and finding a vintage rotary phone outside my room was such a fun touch. The bed was super comfy, too.

- You want to be 1 block from Canal Street but sleep in a slightly quieter zone
- You appreciate historic architecture over cookie-cutter modern boxes
- You need a decent on-site gym and a quick breakfast option
