Congo Square Tours

A large tree with a thick trunk and sprawling branches in a landscaped area.

Watch the world go by at Congo Square. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have countless stories to tell.

If you're searching for free experiences to add to your Mid-City District schedule, Congo Square is a great starting point. But this public square is just one of a myriad of sights that draw travelers to this urban neighborhood. Head to nearby Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Jackson Square and French Market to top off an enjoyable day of sightseeing.

8.8/10 Excellent! (2,435 reviews)
Loved the location of the property and the rooms were spacious and very comfortable. Everything was very clean and had a ceiling fan in addition to ac that was a nice touch. My only disappointment was that we were placed in the Lafayette section on the exterior wall of the hotel and there was a bar or nightclub that starts jamming around 12am. People park their cars, blare their music, and congregate right outside our windows talking and shouting at each other. This went on for several hours. Was disappointing for me as I am a light sleeper and asked for a quiet room. There is a parking conveniently across from the hotel which is nice. Parking fee averages at about $62 a day.
