Becky at the front desk was a breath of fresh air. This hotel is a MUST. But I almost don’t want to spread the word because I want it to be a hidden gem!

Great location and vibe

Very convenient to French Market Place, Jackson Square, and River Walk. Lots of music from the Jazz Museum and other places. The Le Richelieu was a wonderful hotel to relax in and keep the NOLA experience going.

The place for us.

This hotel is just blocks away from all the French Quarter action. Far enough away from the crazy crowds & noise. The pool provides a calming moment. Hotel staff was very friendly & accommodating.

French Quarter Fest 2025

I loved the hotel, history of it and the location. Unfortunately it was supposed to have a bar which was closed and staff did not know when it would reopen. Marisol was lovely and even let us borrow her person charger when we had an issue with ours. Great location for Fest and Frenchmen St.

New Orleans favorite

We’ve stayed here many times. We love the location, the parking lot and the staff! Al ways help and friendly.
Lawrence, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Locations was great, Everything was far away enough to be quiet at the hotel, but close enough to walk to everything. Bourbon St., Museums, great restaurants, Armstrong park. The only issue is that the hotel was not very Updated and Modern. I could not control the temp in my room, the elevators were a little scary and the bar has not been open since COVID. The Staff was amazing!

Room in the French Quarter

It is a nice hotel both close to the French Quarter sites without the noise. The rooms were spacious and clean. Only negative was that you could hear people in the hallway at night. We still slept well in our comfy bed.

Fun Super Bowl Weekend

This place was great. In the French Quarter, but far enough away to enjoy the local scene. Rooms were clean and quiet. The pool and patio area was calm and inviting. Great place for couples weekend. Short walk to the streetcar as well.

A hotel with tall beds.

The beds are way to high. They look good in pictures, But are to high. I'm 5'5" and 80 years old. I had real problems getting on to the bed.
