Bourbon Orleans Hotel - A historic French Quarter landmark with saltwater pool, live jazz, and Creole dining
Located steps from Bourbon Street and Royal Street galleries, this 4-star New Orleans hotel occupies a storied 1817 building in the heart of the French Quarter. The property features a heated saltwater courtyard pool surrounded by lush greenery. Roux on Orleans restaurant serves Creole and American cuisine for breakfast and dinner, while the Bourbon 'O' Bar offers craft cocktails and nightly live jazz from 4 PM. Guest rooms showcase Provençal-style décor with marble bathrooms, custom plantation shutters, and views of either the French Quarter or courtyard. Select accommodations include private balconies overlooking St. Ann Street. The hotel houses the Orleans Ballroom, designed by U.S. Capitol architect Henry Latrobe, which has hosted events since the city's earliest days. The Bourbon Orleans sits 1 mile from Union Station and 9.5 miles from New Orleans Lakefront.
Pros
The Bourbon 'O' Bar features one of the city's most renowned bartenders, Cheryl Charming, known for cocktail expertise and magic tricks
Historic Orleans Ballroom provides an authentic venue for special events with a private balcony facing Orleans Street
Direct access to French Quarter attractions including Jackson Square, LaLaurie Mansion, and sites featured on Ghost Hunters
ADA-accessible rooms available with roll-in showers and 36-inch doorways
Cons
Located between busy thoroughfares which can create noise during peak times
9.5 miles distance from New Orleans Lakefront Airport may be inconvenient for some travelers
“This historic hotel lands you squarely in the French Quarter's vibrant heart, and that location is a major draw. The architecture whispers tales of a bygone era, while inside, Creole-inspired dining and live jazz create an authentic New Orleans experience. If you are looking for immersion in the city's culture and a place with character, this could be it.”

the hotel's location was indeed central, making it easy enough to get around.
I found the shower to be quite awful, seemingly specific to the sixth floor perhaps. The water pressure was so low, it.
