Le Richelieu Hotel In The French Quarter - A historic boutique hotel with saltwater pool and French Quarter heritage

Located in a quiet corner of the French Quarter, this 3-star New Orleans hotel occupies a historic building with roots dating to the early 1800s. Le Richelieu Hotel In The French Quarter features spacious rooms decorated with fine furnishings, artwork, and brass ceiling fans that reflect the city's French, Spanish, English, and Italian cultural heritage. Each guestroom includes a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, refrigerator, ceiling fan, and free WiFi. The property houses The Terrace Café serving breakfast and lunch dishes, while The Terrace Lounge offers daily happy hour with half-price beer, wine, and well cocktails. Le Richelieu provides an outdoor saltwater pool, terrace, and garden for guest recreation. The hotel sits 0.5 miles from Jackson Square, Bourbon Street, and the French Market, with local coffee shops and restaurants like Cafe Envie and Croissant D'Or within 0.3 miles. Royal Street is 1 mile away, while Louis Armstrong Park and St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 are both 1 mile from the property.

Pros

Daily complimentary coffee service from the café

Located in a quiet residential area where locals walk dogs and ride bikes

Suites offer separate living areas with pool or city views

Historic property previously served as a private mansion and macaroni factory

Cons

9.5 miles from New Orleans Lakefront Airport

Some rooms retain unused kitchenettes from the building's apartment era

“Staying here places you squarely in the French Quarter, surrounded by the city's pulse, yet the building retains a calm, historic air, dating back to the early 1800s. The saltwater pool and courtyard offer respite, while inside, the décor reflects the area's unique cultural richness; in my opinion, it's a solid base for leisure travelers aiming to immerse themselves in New Orleans' unique atmosphere.”

Really good Stay in Heart of It All!

helpful staffprivate balconiesconvenient location
The staff was really friendly and helpful! I was greeted with a smile every time I passed the front desk. My room included two private balconies with wonderful views! I could easily walk to many points of interest from the hotel.
The ice machine on my floor was sometimes loud at night.

Although there isnt a dedicated dining area, many cafes offer quick, tasty breakfasts just a short walk away. Several bars and restaurants are very close providing many choices. Cafe Du Monde is just a brief seven-minute stroll.

The location suited me perfectly. It was close to many attractions and provided a quiet atmosphere. I enjoyed sitting by the pool in the afternoons. The complimentary bottled water was a nice touch. The staff, in particular Rebecca, was very helpful.
The tv system was a little hard to use.

The location was definitely a highlight, providing easy access to many attractions. the staff was very responsive to my needs, always ready to assist with a smile. i appreciated the cleanliness of the room. It felt fresh upon arrival.
The minibar was noisy. It disrupted my sleep each night. i found the walls to be quite thin. Sounds from other guests were easily heard. parking fee of $45 plus tax felt overpriced.
