Top Bywater Hotel Reviews

The Royal Sonesta New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"Would have liked the pool to stay open later."

Engine 24 Firehouse Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"10 of us stayed here for a long weekend for a bachelor party and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience! The home is gorgeous and well maintained, the location is great (close enough to walk to bars / coffee shops, but not too close to bourbon street or anything too crazy). Beth is a terrific host who always responded within minutes of we had a question. Would 100% book this place again if we’re back in New Orleans, we had an absolute blast."
