Beautiful hotel, in a desirable location. It’s close to the action, but far away enough to avoid the excessive noise the French quarter can cause. The hotel itself is stylish and well-maintained. The restaurants inside it are also wonderful for a quick bite. We would love to stay again next time we’re in the area!

Wonderful and Kind and Service

The service was flawless and kind and attentive. Perfect location - very central. We had an issue with our TV which was not effectively resolved (although, the staff did try), and so the Front Desk issued a partial refund. I highly recommend the Kimpton when staying in NOLA (and this is my 7th trip, so I have tried several other properties). I will absolutely be back.

Clean, quiet, and well-run

A great respite from the action in New Orleans! The hotel is walkable to everything near the quarter, but also removed too, so that you can really get some rest and charge up your batteries. Clean, well-serviced, and great rooms. We stayed in the historical rooms, but might choose the main building next time.

Our room was not ready upon check in time. We waited an hour for our reservation in the lobby during the busiest holiday of the year. Their front door makes an awful sound every time it closed. Our room 403 made an awful knocking sound all day, all night. The first night was rough sleeping. The next evening I reported the problem and was told they would send someone to fix it. That never happened. So I requested a different room at midnight which they had available. Thankfully. When we were able to park our vehicle with the hotel their automatic system via phone did not work. We waited 1.5 hours for our car. Then when we left to return home at 4:30 am we were told there is no valet service and needed to retrieve our vehicle and had to search for it in the parking garage. All these frustrations are preventable through proper management and maintenance of property. Disappointing.
