Ashton's Bed and Breakfast

Staying at Ashton's Bed and Breakfast was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we stepped into the beautifully appointed hallway, we were greeted with warmth and thoughtfulness that made us feel truly welcome. Every detail had been considered—especially the daily breakfast prepared personally by chef Patrick, a culinary highlight that set the tone for each morning. The room itself was spacious and luxurious, with a bathroom so indulgent I could’ve stayed in there all day. But what really stood out was Patrick’s genuine passion for New Orleans—he shared insider tips on hidden gems, local eateries, and must-see spots that made our trip unforgettable. It wasn’t just a place to sleep; it felt like staying with friends who knew the city inside out. If you’re looking for authenticity, comfort, and a touch of magic in New Orleans, this is the perfect home away from home.

The location is perfect—just a short walk from the heart of New Orleans, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and vibrant nightlife. Housed in a beautifully restored former jail, the hotel blends historic charm with modern comfort. Every detail, from the unique architecture to the cozy rooms, feels thoughtfully curated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing made for a peaceful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It’s rare to find such character, quality, and value all in one place. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting New Orleans—and I’ll definitely be coming back.

La Belle Esplanade

My wife and I drove down from Houston for a weekend getaway to New Orleans, and stumbled upon this hidden gem — La Belle Esplanade. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a storybook version of the French Quarter. The architecture is timeless, steeped in history, and the location couldn’t be better — walkable to restaurants, music venues, and all the charm of the city center. But what truly made the stay unforgettable was the hosts: a warm, thoughtful couple who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. They shared local tips on events happening that day, recommended off-the-beaten-path spots, and served breakfasts that were pure Louisiana magic — fresh, flavorful, and full of soul. Every detail, from the cozy rooms to the personalized touches, showed real care. If you're visiting New Orleans, this is not just a place to stay — it’s an experience. Worth every dollar, and absolutely worth coming back for.

Sonder at Viewpoint

I’ve been a fan of Sonder for years, and while I had a disappointing experience last year, I decided to give them another chance—especially since their reputation precedes them. This time around, they absolutely redeemed themselves. The unit was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed. All three beds were comfortable, with a great variety of pillow options to suit different preferences. The high ceilings added an airy, spacious feel to what’s otherwise a narrow layout—making the rooms feel much larger than they are. The bedrooms were generous in size, and the kitchen was fully stocked with tea, salt and pepper, glassware, a complete set of dishes, utensils, cookware, and brand-new cleaning supplies. Cooking on the stainless steel gas stove was a breeze. Pro tip: use the ceiling fan—the smoke detectors are quite sensitive. The shared patio fits four people comfortably and offers a nice spot to unwind. There are several flights of stairs (no elevator), but even with a foot injury, I managed fine—though I wouldn’t recommend this for elderly guests. The location on Magazine Street is fantastic—full of charming shops, local eateries, and cozy bars. It’s easy to wander in and out of places, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy the neighborhood vibe. Nearby, you’ll find a Walgreens, Whole Foods, and a peaceful park—all within walking distance. Overall, my stay was comfortable, clean, convenient, and truly restful. I’m already planning my return visit. Sonder continues to deliver, and I remain a loyal fan. 💛

It’s clear the staff here genuinely care about guest comfort. If you’re looking for a charming, relaxing stay in New Orleans, this hotel delivers on every level. A must-visit!

The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service; they anticipated needs without being intrusive. It’s rare to find such thoughtful hospitality in a luxury hotel. The location is fantastic too—just a short walk from downtown attractions and great restaurants. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers an unforgettable experience.

From the moment we walked in, the grandeur and timeless elegance of the property set the tone for a truly special experience. The room we booked was on a higher floor, offering a lovely view of part of Canal Street—perfect for morning coffee with a cityscape backdrop. The decor struck the perfect balance between rustic charm and refined luxury, with tasteful details throughout that made the space feel both warm and sophisticated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and every element—from the linens to the bathroom fixtures—felt high-end and well-maintained. It’s rare to find such a historic property that feels so thoughtfully cared for, especially during a busy holiday weekend like Labor Day. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, and the overall atmosphere felt genuinely elegant. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience. We’ll definitely be back.

InterContinental Hotels New Orleans

The staff in the lobby were incredibly warm and welcoming—felt like coming home, especially as a traveler from abroad. While the facilities aren’t cutting-edge, they’re well-maintained and comfortable, and the bed was exceptionally cozy for a restful night’s sleep. What truly stood out was how they handled my unexpected extension due to the hurricane. A friendly front desk agent personally upgraded me to a room with a balcony—such a thoughtful touch that made a stressful situation feel much more manageable. Even though I couldn’t leave on schedule, the care and attention from the team made all the difference. This place truly goes above and beyond, and I’d absolutely recommend it.

Happy Place Bnb

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Happy Place Bed and Breakfast! From the moment we walked in, everything felt thoughtfully curated. The bed was incredibly comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The plush towels and high-quality bath amenities (shampoos, conditioners, lotions, oils) were a nice touch. We especially loved the themed rooms, with fun details inspired by Thor and Nigel that added character and charm. It felt like staying in a cozy, personal retreat rather than just another hotel. The location is great—close to public transit and downtown attractions, making it super easy to explore New Orleans. Every little detail showed care and attention. Highly recommend this hidden gem!
