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.

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.

2 night stay: short, but sweet thanks to Kimpton
Our room 1513 was what was promised: a corner room with a beautiful view of the river. It was clean and comfortable. Every staff member was polite and helpful. Two breakfasts, a social hour visit, and a late night cocktail were fun and delicious.

THE BEST HOTEL IN NEW ORLEANS!
Not only was i able to reserve my room without paying upfront, we were greeted with the warmest welcome from Semaj at the front desk with treats and free passes to get on the street car. He was the ABSOLUTE best, and i pray they keep him around and give him a raise! The kimpton was right on the parade route, so all we had to do was walk right outside to enjoy all of the festivities. Each day there was something new and exciting for us and we were also able to wxtend out checkout for our latw flight! The Kimpton has absolutely become our favorite hotel, and we won't be staying ANYWHERE ELSE!
