Hotel St. Helene - A historic French Quarter boutique hotel with courtyard pool and balcony suites

Located in the heart of the French Quarter, this 2-star New Orleans hotel features rooms with marble showers and original hardwood floors. Hotel St. Helene offers accommodations with balconies overlooking either Chartres Street or the courtyard pool area. All rooms come equipped with flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms with hairdryers and complimentary toiletries. Select suites include separate seating areas and dining tables. The property sits just 0.5 miles from Cabildo and 0.5 miles from Saint Louis Cathedral. Eight dining establishments lie within 0.5 miles, including The Original Pierre Maspero's, Napoleon House Bar & Cafe, and Royal House Oyster Bar. The Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and New Orleans Riverwalk Shopping Center are both 0.5 miles away.

Pros

Historic French Quarter location with eight restaurants within 0.5 miles

Walking distance to major attractions including Saint Louis Cathedral (0.5 miles) and Bourbon Street (0.5 miles)

Outdoor courtyard with swimming pool

Cons

9.5 miles from New Orleans Lakefront Airport

No on-site restaurant

“Hotel St. Helene's prime location in New Orleans is definitely a plus. However, its setup leans more toward an Airbnb, and previous guests have reported maintenance and security issues. If you are looking for a traditional hotel experience, this may not be the best fit.”
