Top Mardi Gras Hotel Reviews

French Market Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Charming design, friendly and helpful staff, gorgeous little courtyard and pool, impeccably clean simple room, super convenient location. You got the historic charm and New Orleans vibe, more b&b than hotel vibes, but the benefit of additional safety and in person assistance. Lovely and will return!"

Hotel Mazarin

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was fantastic here, could not have chosen a better place. Felt like we were in old town New Orleans!"

DoubleTree by Hilton New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"This was easily one of the best hotel stays I’ve had. The staff were friendly, the room was immaculate, and we were right in the middle of the French Quarter. I plan on staying here again the next time I visit New Orleans!"

The Jung Hotel and Residences

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. Spacious rooms. Nice bathroom. Our room was missing an ironing board, but that was okay. Receiving vehicle from valet on checkout took an extended amount of time so consider that with your departure plans. I will definitely stay here again."

Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. The staff were cordial, professional and pleasant. Able to check in 30 minutes early which went smoothly and quickly. The room was clean but the double beds were a little small for two adults but manageable. The elevator switch to get to floors 19 and 20 was a little annoying but manageable. Overall a great place to stay."

Holiday Inn FRENCH QUARTER-CHATEAU LEMOYNE by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very welcoming employees and atmosphere! Loved the location!"

The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

Four Points By Sheraton French Quarter

"A balcony room overlooking Bourbon St. is a must book. The room comes with a white noise machine and ear plugs. Genius! We slept very well! Enjoyed our stay. Will book with Four Points again."

Chateau Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying here. It's in a great spot, without being right in the middle of everything. Only complaint on this trip was the pool was pretty dirty. That wasn't the case for all of our other visits though."
