Top Mardi Gras Hotel Reviews

Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"The location was fantastic. Right in the middle of the French Quarter. We were walking distance from everything. It’s a block away from ACME and Felix’s. Also a block away from the trollers on Canal. Mr Ed’s, the restaurant attached to the hotel was also fantastic. The hotel gave us coupons for 15% off so that was great. The only downside is the parking. It’s like $60 a day to park here."

DoubleTree by Hilton New Orleans

10/10 Excellent

"It was a good experience altogether"

Bourbon Orleans Hotel

8/10 Good

"stay was good. not too happy with the valet guys, really takes a long time to get my car. wish you had room service."

Four Points By Sheraton French Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is great and a perfect place to be in the action, but know you won’t get much sleep because of all the nightlife."

Hotel Mazarin

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in the middle of the French Quarter. Walking distance to all attractions."

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."
