The Brakeman Hotel - A boutique New Orleans hotel in a historic 1904 railway station with French Market-style café and rooftop views

Located in the culturally rich Tremé neighborhood, The Brakeman Hotel occupies the last remaining train station in New Orleans - the original Norfolk Southern Railway station from 1904. This 3-star New Orleans hotel features 18 guest rooms fitted with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, coffee makers, and modern walk-in showers. The spacious rooms showcase historic brick walls, coffered ceilings, and elegant railroad-era furnishings.

Additional amenities at The Brakeman include a 24-hour front desk, ATM, free WiFi, gift shop with local items, and concierge services. Situated just 0.5 miles from Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, the property provides direct access to jazz clubs, soul food spots and cultural centers celebrating the neighborhood's heritage.
