9/10 Wonderful! (1,009 reviews)
The Pontchartrain Hotel is one of those places that instantly transports you to another era. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by its old-world charm, creaky wooden floors, brass fixtures, and a lobby that feels straight out of the 1920s. The attention to detail is wonderful; every corner tells a story.
The room I stayed in was cozy and full of character, with vintage furniture and high ceilings. The bed was comfortable, and we had plenty of room for two.
The location couldn’t be better, just in the heart of the Garden District but far enough away to enjoy some quiet at night. Breakfast was simple but fresh, and the hotel bar had an amazing old-school vibe. Jazz show was amazing. Reserve a table
If I had one minor complaint, it’s that the building shows its age in a few places, some chairs in the room were a bit tattered , and AC sounded like a locomotive But honestly, that’s part of what gives it personality.
Overall, the Pontchartrain Hotel captures the spirit of New Orleans beautifully charming, soulful, and full of history. I’d definitely stay here again
