The hotel was very clean and the staff was attentive. The building is secure and requires a code that was communicated to us prior to checking in. The staff made sure we checked in, answered questions and offered to help when needed.

The Hotel Pompadour is amazing and the staff wonderfully helpful. It’s a quirky place that has gorgeously appointed rooms, filled with a local artist’s gorgeous paintings of New Orleans. The staff were delightfully helpful with restaurant recommendations and even offered us a late check out. The AC works great, which was much appreciated during the hot NOLA summer days. It’s a great location, very walkable to the French Quarter. Def will stay again. Thank you for a wonderful visit to New Orleans!

Hotel Pompadour radiates the loving care of the people who designed it, as well as those who clean and manage it. My room’s personality – quirky, beguiling, lovely -- was the result of many little artistic choices. The atmosphere was peaceful but, at the same time, infused with the spell of New Orleans. I can’t wait to stay here again.

**Perfect quiet escape near Frenchman Street** We stayed here for our anniversary trip and couldn't have picked a better spot. The staff was incredibly kind from the start — they reached out after booking with helpful info and great local recommendations, and communicated well throughout our stay. The location is fantastic: walking distance to Frenchman Street, which has live jazz, great bars and food, and a much quieter, safer feel than Bourbon Street. We also had easy access to the streetcars/trains, plus nearby cafes, restaurants, and live music. The surrounding neighborhood felt safe, and we walked almost everywhere. Parking was a huge plus — they have a private lot with a garage door clicker, plus some free street parking in front (though limited). The hotel itself was spotless, quiet, and beautifully styled. Rooms don't have TVs, but they make up for it with excellent AC and an in-room sound machine you can run continuously or on a timer. Our room also had a small kitchenette (microwave, sink, mini fridge), a hair dryer, and coffee/tea/half-and-half available. The courtyard with art and sculptures was a beautiful touch, and the beds were super comfortable. If you want to experience New Orleans in the French Quarter without being right in the thick of the chaos, I highly recommend staying here. It felt safe, peaceful, and clean — perfect for our anniversary.

It is a beautiful art decor property that is walking distance from the French market, French Quarters and the other end of Bourbon Street that is not on the Canal side. It is close to a lot of different restaurants. It is a private and secured hotel that is traditional with a historic twist. It doesn't have an elevator. Due to the fact that it is in a historic building. They have a courtyard and a balcony on some of the rooms. The rooms are spacious and they have a retro refrigerator in them. This hotel is a new property the owners open this property last October. It is a couple's paradise due to the fact that they don't have tv's. So it will force you to get out and do things around the city. They have a staff that is extremely hands on and will help you anyway they can. They have a 24 hours number. That you can reach them if you need help with anything. They are extremely friendly and customer service is a plus with them. They definitely want to keep you coming back. It is a good place for women or a single person that want to travel on their own. It is good for a girl trips also. Due to the southern charm and authenticity of that New Orleans look and that purple and green color on the outside it scream New Orleans old charm. It is a good change of scenery if you want to get away from the commercial hotels that we are accustomed too. So I highly recommend that you give this hotel a try for a true authentic feel of New Orleans. I am a city person it is a change.

I am a regular in New Orleans and I’ve stayed at most of the 3 to 5 star hotels in the FQ, Marigny, and CBD. The Hotel Pompadour’s reviews are legitimate - it is an experience. From the time I arrived, their amazing staff went above and, quite literally, beyond to make sure I was comfortable and that I found a beautiful room that suited my needs. The website’s pictures almost don’t do the hotel justice. Each room interplays modern color-washed spaces with handpicked antiques. My room (101) felt like a jewel box time capsule adorned with intentional Michalopoulos artwork and books. After a few days, I believed I lived there and I began attending garden tours and frequenting The Friendly Bar and Anna’s. The location is situated across from the lower angle of the Marigny triangle so it’s a hop, skip, and a jump to Frenchmen Street and the Quarter. Shower-heads and water pressure are a 10/10, towels and bath mats are plush, and the beds are melt worthy. Last, but not least, I have to send a super shout out to Avery and Katie and all of the staff at the Hotel Pompadour. Every interaction I had with each of you was truly exceptional. See you soon!

The Hotel Pompadour combines so much of what I loved about calling New Orleans my home—local artistry, lush flora and birdsong, and historic character meeting vibrantly present color! The courtyard with fun art and plenty of reading seating. Marigny’s bakeries, cafes, and dinner spots are enticing; live music flirts with you daily; I had easy access to the River and Esplanade’s live oak-lined street that I ran through for exercise daily. Bike rentals are steps away, though we didn’t partake this time. I loved Baldwin books, Elysian Bar, Ayu, and getting basics each morning from Robert’s Market, a short walk on Elysian Fields. I was both surprised that the transient community was still so present and not surprised, as the Marigny and Bywater remains a place of creativity, divestment, and ongoing renewal. There were interpretive signage and museums that were new to me, who actually worked on Frenchmen 20 years ago—as an intern at Offbeat Magazine and a server at the now defunct Hookah Cafe. If you want a tv, they didn’t have one, but that actually made me appreciate this hotel even more—who watches tv while visiting NOLA when the drama on the street and the soundtrack of the city is so much more immersive?! The boniface were responsive and warm, meeting our needs whether for laundry or neighborhood recs, or just friendly and connective conversation. The stay was pretty peaceful, with a few paths crossed. If we need a place to stay again, we’ll check out Pompadour!

Simply Stunning! Made our first visit to New Orleans extra special. If you love art, a true boutique experience and amazing walking proximity to the infamous Frenchmen Street, this is the location for you. We had fresh flowers in our room! We stayed in Room 206 ‘La Petite Muse’ ~ a delightful space. We enjoyed slow mornings and fresh brewed coffee thanks to the well stocked coffee & tea nook in our breezeway. The concierge/host Katie was great ~ just a quick text away and such a pleasure when we interacted face to face. Met Vizzie our last day, also part of the concierge staff and she was wonderful too. We will book Hotel Pompadour for our next NOLA stay without any hesitation.

It’s very convenient to walk Bourbon Street, Canal Street street car, and the French Market. Thank you guys so much again! You all made this trip so easy and less stressful.

This is a really special hotel. It's stunning inside, but the real stars are the staff (always at the ready via text) and the location. The only thing I would say is definitely get the parking for a one-time fee of $50. We did have our things stolen from the rental car. Enjoy your stay at Hotel Pompadour... We sure did!

This hotel is very quirky and original, with great art by the owner in every room and antiques that are individually selected and create a beautiful atmosphere. The room was very clean and full of light and quiet. You are literally steps away from the French Quarter, but in a much fighter and more pleasant location. You are in the Marigny and not far from 6 and Treme. It’s a perfect base to go everywhere. You’re close to the nightlife on Frenchmen but you’re not bothered by it when you want to rest. The staff is fantastic, they texted me all kinds of information in a lovely prompt way and went above and beyond when I had a little personal misstep. I can’t wait to go back

This is a beautiful boutique hotel near the edge of the French Quarter. Our room was beautiful, with cool art and bold colors. We loved its location, a short walk to the riverfront streetcar, and some excellent restaurants including Adolfo’s. In addition it has a cool courtyard to relax in. Highly recommend!!
