    charming décor
    complimentary coffee
    historic character
    maintenance issues

    The Historic King Room stands out with its charming décor and unique character, embracing the city's heritage. Enjoying complimentary morning coffee in the Peacock Room was a delightful way to start the day.

    The ice machine's location in a different tower was a hassle when needing ice. Maintenance issues were apparent. the carpet had a noticeable stain, and one of the headboards was loose. Noise levels became an annoyance, particularly from the ventilation, and the nearby trash collection truck at 3 AM was disruptive. Also, breakfast expectations fell short. the $45 voucher did not cover much, causing us to dip into our pockets unexpectedly.

    free wine
    pet-friendly

    This hotel is perfect for a solo getaway! I loved the free wine in the lobby and the pet-friendly vibe. Valet was a breeze and having $15 in credits was a sweet touch. Enjoyed the on-site bar which had some great cocktails.

    Felt special, no reason to complain.

    spacious room
    friendly staff
    great location
    high parking cost
    limited breakfast options

    Our stay at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot was wonderful! The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the vibrant French Quarter, yet the hotel itself felt peaceful. Our room was spacious and beautifully designed, with a stunning view of the city. The highlight of our stay was the friendly and accommodating staff, especially Machiel, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

    Parking was a bit pricey at $45.

    check-in delays
    busy atmosphere

    The room was spacious and luxurious, complete with a fantastic view and modern design. I especially appreciated the complimentary iced coffee available in the morning and the delightful Hungarian beef stew served at the café. However, the gym was quite small and could benefit from more equipment, and there were occasional delays in check-in due to the busy atmosphere. Overall, an enjoyable stay with minor hitches.

    elegant suite

    The room was spotless and dust-free, it had a wonderful soaking tub that reminded me to take it easy. Plus, the complimentary happy hour was a delightful surprise, especially that signature cocktail with white rum and green tea, made the evening brighter.

    Not exactly cheap but still manageable considering the experience.

    Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

    We felt welcomed from the first moment, thanks to the friendly staff. The Essential Room was spacious and well-kept, making our three nights very enjoyable. However, be cautious about parking fees and check bike availability early. Explore the Peacock Room for a unique dining experience!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel offered a great location, with easy access to local attractions. The staff was wonderful and helped us navigate the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, an absolute blast with the vibrant music and delicious local food. Plus, we loved starting our mornings with coffee at the bar.

    My children wanted more kid-friendly options in the dining area.
