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.

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.

Weekend Getaway
This hotel is in a great location and had gated in and out self parking($45/day). They don't have a liquor license, yet, so we didn't get to enjoy the bar and it was a bit chilly to use the pool. Our room was spacious, great shower, and the bed was comfy. We will definitely come back.

History is here
Staff was friendly and the room was large enough. The lobby and hallways were hot. The room was chilly. In all fairness, we came just recovering from the snowstorm. The hallways were not well lit and a bit spooky! A nice historical hotel.
