The 7 Best Hotels in Marigny

The 7 Best Hotels in Marigny

Faubourg Marigny might be the coolest place in New Orleans — particularly if you like jazz. It's home to the iconic Frenchman Street, with all its chic and moody music venues and jazz bars. Naturally, it has a spirit best experienced at night — whether you're attending the French Art Market, watching the street performers and browsing the stalls of handicraft vendors, or simply enjoying a spell of jazz at one of the many bars. Our Gurus have carefully curated a list of Marigny's best hotels based on a few factors, which is why our selection features 19th-century mansions, jazz bars (with rooms), and hotels with enormous private art galleries. Great for party animals heading into the French Quarter, perfect for couples seeking a night of romance, this list won't fail to impress!

For a historic property

Melrose Mansion makes for a pretty smart stay. This elegant boutique property, just bordering the French Quarter, is set in a 19th-century mansion that retains its original period features. Rooms are monochrome in style, plus there's a shared outdoor pool and proximity to all the best bars and restaurants that Marigny has to offer!
Lamothe House is another historic stay, a 19th-century townhouse in up-and-coming Marigny. Expect elegant rooms furnished with Victorian antiques, traditional local artwork, and a large pool perfect for unwinding in after a hectic evening out. After all, Frenchman Street — with all its jazz clubs — is just steps away!

For party animals

If you're in New Orleans for the party, check out Royal Street Inn, with its designer furniture, cool artwork, moody lighting and spacious, sexy suites. The bar is a local favourite (and stays open until 5am on the weekend), and this uber-hip bar with rooms is slap-bang amidst all the coolest bars and music venues that Marigny has to offer.
Royal Frenchmen Hotel & Bar another 19th-century mansion in the heart of the action — though this time, it's set on the infamous Frenchmen Street. The bar has won awards and hosts live music; and it's full of original art, as this hotel is really an extension of Hugh Thiel's private collection.

For couples

Couples love Elysian Fields Inn, for all its chandeliers and high ceilings. And, of course, the jetted spa-style baths in the best rooms. An intimate, historic hotel right in the heart of bohemia, it makes for a perfect romantic bolthole!
Hotel Peter and Paul might be stately, but it retains heaps of local charm — a historic hotel set in a series of old buildings (including a schoolhouse and convent). The rooms come with antiques and artisan furniture, but couples will love the grand bar, and the clawfoot baths. Perfect for couples!

For great value

Chic, boutique and comfortable, Balcony Guest House is ideal for a short city break if you're on a budget. The French-style rooms, with their wooden sleigh beds, period furnishings, and chic splashes of colour, are only a 10-minute walk from Washington Square.
