Madisonville Vacations from $852

We visited New Orleans for the weekend for my wife’s first NOLA experience, and the Bourbon Orleans Hotel was AMAZING. From the moment we stepped into the cool, air-conditioned lobby, the hotel made an impression—the aroma, the beautiful décor, and the stunning live flower arrangements were unforgettable. Check-in was easy, and every staff member we encountered—from valet and front desk to the concierge, pool servers, and bartenders—was pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable about things to do around the city. We stayed in a bi-level suite with a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street, and it was everything we hoped for. Yes, it can get noisy on the weekends, but honestly, why come to NOLA if you don’t want to experience some of the energy and excitement of Bourbon Street? The food and drinks were great, and the saltwater pool was absolutely perfect on an extra-humid New Orleans day. My only complaint was that pool food service didn’t begin until 1 p.m. instead of 11 a.m. Otherwise, it was 10s across the board. Beautiful hotel, great location, excellent service, and an unforgettable introduction to New Orleans. We would absolutely stay here again.

I stay at this property last year when it was under a different owner and absolutely loved it. Fast forward to this year, I was thoroughly surprised to know that it had re-opened! We instantly settled on staying there. The property was easy to find and perfectly situated just a few blocks from Bourbon Street. Very easy to access, clean, spacious, comfortable and most of all we felt safe. The pool is such an added bonus! It's situated on the rooftop and made for a nice afternoon wind down. The owner was always accessible and offered wonderful recommendations. We were locked out in the middle of the night and had to call the customer service line and they had us back inside within second. The coffee shop/bar downstairs is such a fun surprise! Would definitely stay again.
