Lafitte Hotel & Bar - A historic French Quarter boutique hotel with balcony views and private courtyard

Located at the corner of Bourbon and St. Phillip Streets in the residential section of the French Quarter, this New Orleans hotel dates back to 1849. The 14-room boutique property features spacious accommodations with antique furnishings, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms stocked with luxury toiletries. Several shared balconies offer views of Bourbon Street and downtown, while the serene courtyard provides a peaceful retreat. Lafitte Hotel & Bar includes air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, a private terrace, and an on-site bar. The property sits 0.5 miles from Bourbon Street's entertainment, with Preservation Hall, Jackson Square, and Cafe du Monde all within 0.5 miles. Le Croissant d'Or bakery, Community Coffee House, and multiple dining venues are located just 0.5 miles away.

Pros

Historic 1849 mansion with period antiques and art collections

Located in the quieter residential section while maintaining proximity to attractions

24-hour video-monitored private parking lot available

Multiple shared balconies overlooking the French Quarter

Cons

Room 40 is only accessible via stairs from the third floor

Limited parking spaces (9 spots) with no in-and-out privileges

“Lafitte Hotel & Bar lands you right in the French Quarter's pulse, yet offers rooms where quiet prevails-a real find. The 1849 building oozes historic charm, extending to rooms with high ceilings and courtyard views. I think it is a poised, slightly secluded spot amid New Orleans' exhilarating chaos.”
