New Orleans Courtyard Hotel

Description

In a city where time stands still, the New Orleans Courtyard Hotel embodies the spirit of history and indulgence that is a New Orleans trademark.

Evoking another age in ambience and architecture, the three-story New Orleans Courtyard Hotel was a private home for most of its history and for a time was a popular jazz club, where New Orleans pianist and composer Ellis Marsalis played gigs along with other local jazz greats.

Converted to a hotel a few decades ago and most recently renovated in January 2009, the privately-owned, 49-room Courtyard Hotel sits conveniently across North Rampart Street, the boulevard at the northern edge of the historic French Quarter district.

Also within walking distance to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the New Orleans Arena and the bohemian Faubourg Marigny neighborhood, its convenient location and Old World charm are not the only reasons why the Courtyard Hotel boasts a high rate of repeat guests visiting for events like the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and the Southern Decadence Festival.

While the hotel lacks some modern amenities sought by some travelers, those who can do without a business center or a hotel gym will be rewarded by interactions with the warm, knowledgeable, familiar-as-family staff. If a virtual connection is what you need, use the hotel’s free in-room wireless internet.

Choose among rooms that feature either a single queen bed or two double beds, A few rooms have private balconies. Dozens of other rooms, including converted former slave quarters, surround a quiet courtyard and pool perfect for lounging on those eternal afternoons and evenings that mark time spent in New Orleans.
