Lafitte Hotel & Bar

We found this hotel to be dripping with charm! The service was super-friendly & welcoming. Their parking fees are more reasonable than any other hotel in The FQ we have stayed at previously. The bedding, mattress, linens were luxe. The furniture is all gorgeous antique pieces... our bed in Rm 34 was fabulous! We had a 3rd floor, courtyard view, but even better than that, a 3rd floor view of The FQ & CBD & gorgeous sunsets. Our stay was relatively quiet, no rowdy neighbors & surprisingly, no ghost encounters, which we were sort of excited about. I guess we will need to plan to return for ghost encounters. The piano bar is a delightful experience... we had the opportunity to spend a few minutes & a nice cocktail with a pianist & artist belting out some Billy Joel, Elton John, CCR, Crosby Still Nash & Young & Alannis Morrisette & Tori Amos. A wide variety of music & so, so friendly & talented. Kristen was her name, I believe. This historic building is laden with gorgeous architecture, beautiful folk art, nice coffee in the lobby, luxe rugs & furniture. A passcode is required to get in... we felt totally secure & safe. The location is situated on the far east end of Bourbon, just outside the hustle & bustle but directly across the block from the infamous & historical Jean Lafittes Blacksmith Shop (pub). There is plenty of fabulous New Orleans cuisine & necessities within a block's walk of this hotel. Guided ghost tours visit here.

Property was perfect. Wish we didn't have to pay parking for the price of the room.

Good location. Friendly staff. Great balcony in our room. Good patio to relax on.

Landmark hotel, classic NOLA feel, and perfect location next to one of our favorite bars at the far end of Bourbon Street! Felt very safe with needing a code to get in after-hours. Owner was super nice and we enjoyed everything!

Small parking lot. You have to leave your vehicle until checkout

Charming old hotel right in the heart of town. A small parking lot, as to be expected, but the attendants do their very best to make it work! WiFi a bit patchy in certain parts of the hotel - my room was accessible via an outside balcony - but more than compensated for by the location. Would happily stay again.

The staff was always there to point us in right direction, helpful, polite. Lobby bar. Piano player every night. Patio. Ghosts:)

Nice, clean and authentic. Air conditioning (window unit), loud as well as the wind and rain noise. No coffee in-room. Coffee bar downstairs little awkward. Overall pleased with my stay. Could be better, could be worse.

This 19th century residence converted to a hotel shows its age, but that is part of its charm. Great location in the French Quarter. It can get noisy at times, but one doesn't stay on Bourbon Street for the peace and quiet. Excellent value. A connected bar and cafe serve all needs other than a restful sleep after a night of fun. Service was excellent.

The staff were amazingly friendly and helpful from parking assistance to giving information about getting around the city during our stay. I forgot my card with my code to get in after hours and the front desk clerk answered the phone promptly and helped us get inside the hotel right away. The only drawback is the hotel is in dire need of repairs and the room was pretty stuffy but not unbearable since they provided a box fan to circulate the air.

We booked as a last minute stay and were pleasantly surprised! It was a very comfortable bed and beautiful property and room.

There was no maid service the five nights that I was there. There was an ice bucket but no ice machine. I was told that out of town guests that parked in the residential area had five week nights before receiving a parking ticket. I received a ticket on week night two. Please, park your car across the parkway. The room was/is beautiful. It was worth my stay. I was locked out of the hotel in the afternoon, so keep your door code handy.

Everything was great. I will definitely come back to stay there. However the carpet area near the vanity in my room 22…. Near the closet smelt like vomit in the carpet. Other than that. I LOVED IT! I will be returning!!

The staff was amazing, I lost my phone and they were attentive and asked frequently if I had found it which was really nice to know they cared. The building was gorgeous and we stayed in room 40 which was decorated nicely and was clean upon arrival. We would absolutely stay again.

Musty smell but staff very helpful which made up for any short Cummins

I loved that spot… Friendly staff and room was clean… I would definitely stay here again.

First of all there was only one way in parking in a small lot no in and out parking. The hotel smelled old and the elevator smelled like urine. The room was outside the hotel on a rickety old balcony. The room smelled like it had been closed up for years and smelled like old mildew. The sheets were dirty and stained. The bathroom was clean. We checked out 10 minutes later because the room was affecting my asthma. I don’t understand how this hotel is still in business. I don’t understand these reviews and what was excellent about this hotel. And I didn’t receive a refund either.

Verygood room was cery clean

Super convenient. Good atmosphere. Clean room. Great beds.

Staff were great. Parking reasonable $. Room was clean. Unfortunately , the strong scent on all the linens, while pleasent, was overwhelming and gave us headaches and aggravated our allergies. I also felt that the property needs more repair. Holes in the closet wall creeped me out I'm afraid of rodents although I did not see any and water damaged walls bubbling in the bathroom are details that matter. Like I said the room was clean except for the ceiling fan over the bed and the air conditioner that is over your head while you're in bed. Both had a thick layer of dust that also made getting any sleep hard. It is a very historical building and overall it is very cool. I can't express how awesome the service was and I would recommend this to anyone who wants that experience.

Honestly LOVED this hotel. The loft was SO SPACIOUS and also came with air mattresses if needed. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Super fun spot right on Bourbon Street. Obviously you’ll have the sounds of the night life down on the street echoing around the rooms - but that’s part of the experience with such a perfect location. Nice and central for waking to Bourbon craziness or to Frenchman chill vibes.

I realize when staying at an old hotel that things won’t be perfect, but when the sink barely drains and the temperature in the shower is hard to adjust (super hot) and the water pressure is minimal, that doesn’t make for a good stay especially at that price. The people were nice and accommodating, but the room conditions weren’t worth what they charged.

Very old hotel. Charming in many ways. Somewhat worn.

Location is great . Staff are so friendly and helpful. The only complaint is the mattress is my room is too soft and the pillows are to hard.other than that everything is great.

Staff was excellent. Property is very New Orleans. Lots of history and unique. Not going to get a full nights sleep here being so close to Lafitte’s Bar. Room was nice and balcony was fun for people watching. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

It’s close to everything but very loud at night due to the bar across the street so being ear plugs

Honestly the guy that checked us in really set the tone for us. He was rude and miserable. We drove for 7 hours for an overnight stay. We had such high hopes but overcoming his attitude drained us. We hated our room but because of how he treated us we didn’t want to ask to change it. Trip of a lifetime brought down by a miserable man. I suspect this is the person in other reviews as the surly bartender. Loved the location and the parking. Room was beautiful and comfortable. Would never stay again or recommend it based off this rude, inhospitable human. New Orleans is full of amazing, Happy, enthusiastic,kind humans. Stay elsewhere and don’t wreck your trip.

Brandon was absolutely amazing to deal with! Such a great experience! We WILL be back!

The Lafitte Hotel is a beautiful property that must be seen. Each room is unique and decorated with gorgeous art and antiques. The staff is friendly and Sheena, in particular, went out of her way to ensure we were able to retrieve something we left in our room after checkout. The location is excellent and the rates are incredibly affordable. I highly recommend this hotel.

Check in guy was amazing and polite. Made the process seamless.

Location was perfect for walking to everything in French Quarter! Most of hotel staff were courteous and helpful, however, there was one extremely rude male that really should reconsider a vocation in the service industry.

Our Cruise Ship was going out of New Orleans so we decided we wanted to spend a couple of days enjoying New Orleans. Our stay was wonderful and we really enjoyed the historic value of this hotel and the area that it is in. If you are looking for a luxury hotel then this not the hotel for you. If you are looking for a wonderful hotel that has the charm of New Orleans then this is your place. We loved everything about it and the staff was excellent. Thank You

This hotel is so authentically New Orleans! It’s beautiful, historic and feels like home. The location is incredible. We didn’t even get an uber besides to and from the airport throughout our trip. The best part, though, was the staff. They were incredibly helpful and kind, especially given that it was an insane weekend to be there (Super Bowl)!

We absolutely loved this great little hotel. The staff is super attentive and friendly, the room was clean and adorable, and the location is perfect as it is in a quiet spot away from the loud and crazy section of Bourbon st. Can't wait for our return visit.

I came to NOLA for a girls weekend and it was a great stay. Hotel was lively and friendly. Room was adorable and clean. Gave us the real NOLA experience and was in the perfect spot on Bourbon St.

Super fun spot right on Bourbon Street. Obviously you’ll have the sounds of the night life down on the street echoing around the rooms - but that’s part of the experience with such a perfect location. Nice and central for waking to Bourbon craziness or to Frenchman chill vibes.

The area is perfect. Close to the French market, and to the fun times on Bourbon Street. The room had so much charm and the beds were so comfy. The pillows were awesome too. A deep cleaning wouldn’t hurt only in regard to wiping everything down like the bed bases and the walls. But that wouldn’t deter me from staying. We will be back. This hotel has been my favorite New Orleans stay to date and I have been to New Orleans numerous times overnight. Highly recommend.

Its a older hotel with charactor, in the perfect spot and end of bourbon st away from most noise! In perfect walking distance from everywhere! Staff amazing!!

Perfect spot near French market, bourbon street and the Marigny. I’ll be back.

Perfect location

This 19th century residence converted to a hotel shows its age, but that is part of its charm. Great location in the French Quarter. It can get noisy at times, but one doesn't stay on Bourbon Street for the peace and quiet. Excellent value. A connected bar and cafe serve all needs other than a restful sleep after a night of fun.

The piano bar is a delightful experience... we had the opportunity to spend a few minutes & a nice cocktail with a pianist & artist belting out some Billy Joel, Elton John, CCR, Crosby Still Nash & Young & Alannis Morrisette & Tori Amos.

Great location, cool hotel, bartender was cranky, but other than that it was great

This was a great place to stay on the quieter side of the french quarter. The staff and bartender's were exceptionally gracias and helpful for all of our needs in New Orleans.

The staff was always there to point us in right direction, helpful, polite. Lobby bar. Piano player every night. Patio. Ghosts:)

Friendly staff, visited with owner several times, located in the heart of everything! Quaint and charming, nice bar! Will definitely stay again!

A beautiful older historic hotel right at the end of Bourbon. The view from our balcony is absolutely one of the best in the city! In spite of the location we had no trouble with noise from the street - the room has a fan for white noise, so smart! Everyone here from checkin to check out has been wonderful - the friendly front desk people, the super sweet housekeeping ladies, attentive bartender, and talented piano players - all made our stay one of the best in New Orleans. As an added bonus we were able to meet the wonderful couple that own Lafittes 😬 We are so happy to have found this gem and will definitely be staying here again - highly highly recommend for any and everyone!
