Place d'Armes Hotel

Had a middling hotel experience, hence the 3 stars. Maybe I built up my expectations a bit, but when I paid for a “courtyard view” and just got a first floor room with a “view” of a brick wall it was pretty disappointing and felt like a rip off since I paid the same as the people with an actual courtyard view. The room was cleaned acceptably, but not sparkling. However, the rug was pretty grimy. The in-room amenities were extremely sparse. No water bottles or any nice touches. It was smaller than what I saw in pictures here. Security felt flimsy as the door seemed like I could open it if I just put my weight into it since it was loosely latched. During the day it’s also possible to just walk straight into the courtyard without being a guest so it’s fine, but not confidence inspiring. Customer service was fine, with typical New Orleans character.

Love this hotel have stayed here since the 1984 Worlds Fair whenever rooms were/are available, Charm, Beautiful Court Yards, Location, Location & Location! 1/2 block from Jackson Square and a block & 1/2 from Bourbon. Wonderful helpful Staff. The only thing missing is a little more Southern Hospitality…coffee, juice, croissant’s, sweet rolls & fruit that was graciously provided in the past.

The Hotel is great. The staff treated me amazingly well and are very helpful. The hotel is beautiful. For being such an old historical building is incredibly modern and luxurious. It’s centrally located right next to Jackson Square and just off asked Royal Street.

Old world charm with modern conveniences, Excellent location within walking distance of most shops and restaurants in the French quarter. Staff was very nice and helpful. We stay here every time we come to New Orleans.

Place D'Armes was fantastic! Very friendly helpful staff. Room was very clean and comfortable. We had a balcony room and was a great size. Not noisy even though we were there when Mardi Gras is ramping up. Great location to popular sites in the french quarter! Would highly recommend a stay.

My girlfriend and I got off of the cruiseship in New Orleans and it was pouring rain and very cold.. It was around 9:00 AM when we got to this hotel. Patrice was so warm, sweet, and accomodating to say the least! We were cold and soaking wet. All we wanted to do was have her store our luggage until we could check in at 4:00 pm. She figured out a way to get us a room immediately! The room was updated, clean, large, and yet cosy and romantic. The property is beautiful and kept up very well. The location is perfect as well.. And then there was Andrew who helped us with our luggage. It was a torrential downpour and he was so very helpful and personable! The next morning he ordered us a taxi and the taxi was there within 5 minutes! I cannot recommend this niche hotel experience enough! We will be definitely going back to this hotel. Thank you Patrice and Andrew for making our stay so enjoyable and comfortable! You both are amazing!!

The hotel has a great location the French Quarter. Hotel staff was friendly and very helpful. We stayed in a "courtyard " located room. The courtyard is open to the elements and has a large selection of tables and chairs for guests to enjoy. The hotel allowed haunted New Orleans tours into the courtyard on multiple nights and times. Noise generated by these visits was noticeable and disturbed our sleep. Also, I question hotel security with large groups of non-guests roaming around. Hotel guests returning late night also added to the noise problem. Area should have signage asking guests to be respectful of other guests from a noise standpoint. I would not recommend a courtyard room to potential guest wanting a restful stay.

Our stay from January 2026 was absolutely GREAT! Our room was excellent, but the staff was over the top OUTSTANDING! Everyone was friendly, helpful and so pleasant to speak with, especially Rody and Kieron - so helpful with restaurant and bar recommendations! It felt more like we were staying in someone’s home than a hotel. We can’t wait to visit again!

We loved our stay at Place d’Armes. Rody at the desk was friendly and shared some restaurant recommendations. The location was perfect for exploring the French Quarter and the courtyard room allowed for quiet evenings after busy days.

My second stay at Place D’Armes. A beautiful quaint historic building with a gorgeous garden patio area that’s wonderful for evening cocktails and morning coffee. Perfect location and close enough to walk around the French Quarter, Jackson Square and Bourbon street. We never needed our car. Our room was small in the Magnolia area but I wanted to be on the patio and it was wonderful. (A side note don’t eat at Tujagues awful food/experience.)
