Henry Howard Hotel

"What were your first impressions?Debonair townhouses are a stock in trade of this part of the Lower Garden District, but the name of local architectural hero Henry Howard gives it an extra seal of approval and the Greek revival façade and wrought-iron balconies didn’t shatter my idyllic expectations. What’s the crowd like?The Garden District in general attracts a lower-key, more mature and affluent crowd, and older couples were the most regular co-lounger in the elegant front parlor. How were the rooms?My Superior King had polished wooden floors, 12-foot ceilings and windows, and exposed brickwork that maintained the period feel. The furnishings mixed modern fabrics and older wooden furniture. Quirky portraits of the owner’s family adorned the walls, which were covered in whimsical steamboat wallpaper. The King bed was described as ‘sculptural’, which in reality meant a modern version of a four poster, with metal polls replacing wooden posts, but it was incredibly comfortable. The bathrooms are an exercise in good-looking, modern simplicity with gleaming white porcelain and Beekman 1802 toiletries. How about the little things?The sense of place was really augmented with the wall-mounted saxophone—it's far less gimmicky than it sounds. Wi-Fi. What’s the word?The house may be old but the Wi-Fi was great. And, the staff?Shawn at the front desk went out of her way to welcome and orient and me. Anything else stand out?The front parlor, with its Italianate detailing and decadent gold trim, really delivered that upscale New Orleans lifestyle, and was a hard place to leave after the early evening aperitifs overlooking the Garden District." - Paul Oswell

Henry Howard Hotel was recommended by a friend who grew up in New Orleans. It did not disappoint! Our room was large and comfortable, though the bathroom was definitely dated. We loved the rocking chairs on the porch, though that meant late night voices in room 101. The staff is lovely, and on-site 24/7. They stored my soy milk in the fridge for me. We loved the bath robes, though there were no slippers. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely love to stay here again!

We love staying at the Henry Howard—it’s a true neighborhood gem. The location is unbeatable, tucked right into the heart of the Garden District, and it genuinely feels like a home away from home. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with charming touches that make each stay feel special. Tyler has been working there since we first started coming two years ago, and he’s an absolute highlight. Not only is he incredibly kind and attentive, but he’s also quite the mixologist! For my birthday, he shared one of his custom creations called the Pass-Along—it was delicious, light, and not too sweet. Highly recommend both the drink and the stay!

The hotel was beautiful and very clean. We loved the historic element to it and it was a quick uber away from anything we wanted to do. The parlor serving drinks was a very nice touch. The staff could use some additional training for check-in because they seemed overwhelmed, but were still friendly. Tyler, however was awful to deal with and should not be in hospitality. The A/C in our room was not working an instead of providing solutions, he said we do not understand how A/C works. Well the A/C was broke and a repair guy had to come, we then walked into the lobby to hear Tyler talking badly about us. All we wanted was a cool room like the other's in our party staying there. In addition to that, he charged one person in our party $900 at check-in without confirming the charge first. We had multiple rooms booked under one person and she was not supposed to be paying that fee. It was not until he was questioned that the fee was reversed. The rest of the staff we came into contact with was wonderful.

Welcoming and lovely. This inn is beautiful. Our room with a balcony was luxurious. |Great attention to detail and extremely comfortable. The staff is warm and helpful. Coffee and hot pastries were a wonderful start to our 3 days in New Orleans. Location is also fabulous allowing you to walk almost anywhere, even when there is a foot of snow on the ground.

The most charming and pleasant stay one could possibly have. Right in the heart of the garden district, surrounding by beautiful homes. Great place to walk in the mornings. Close to the street car. I also cannot say enough about the staff, each one of them was so welcoming. Hope to come back one day.

This is a great hotel! I booked the entire place for a 5-night writing conference and it was the perfect spot for us. It is very clean, and has a great style and vibe. The staff is fantastic and very helpful. Big thanks to Bruce, Hethe and Tyler!!

Absolutely lovely and highly recommended! Wonderful location, the staff was friendly, thoughtful and professional. The hotel is in a historical house that has been beautifully preserved. And the location is ideal. Thank you for making our visit so special

A cozy, 18-bedroom, converted mansion in the lower Garden District. Well done with lots of space, modern bathrooms, etc. Quiet. Location is a plus as a half block off St. Charles and the street car but any dining (especially for breakfast) is a trek. Service is good. Amenities are slim except a good bar and coffee or tea in the AM. Our 2-night stay was quiet and enjoyable. So if you want to avoid the hectic French Quarter or CBD for lodging, consider this. As to many parts of NOLA - even the Quarter - keep your wits about you as crime is often random.

I paid 629.00 a night (per night) to stay here on a Friday and Saturday night, and 239.00 for Sunday night. The experience wasn't close to the price point. Though the staff was generally nice, and, the building itself was charming. There is a lack of amenities, and creature comforts were present but spartan. Suggestions: 1. for 629.00 a night, please let the guest control the temperature in their room. Our room's thermostat was locked up. 2. Have the bar stay open later than 10:00pm, or an option to purchase beverages in an in room mini refrigerator. Not have bottled waters, or at least a carafe to fill with water was very inconvenient. 3. The walls are very thin. We could hear the details of our neighbors' conversations in acute detail. 4. I understand supply and demand. But the disparity in price of 400 dollars per night is painful to stomach as a consumer. Thanks

The only place to stay in New Orleans!! The place is spotless, beds and pillows are great. The staff is amazing and Bruce takes his job to the next level. I can't say enough about the staff. I've been going to New Orleans for over 40 years and have stayed in most of the hotels. And never plan on staying in any other hotel.

Our recent stay at the Henry Howard Hotel was nothing short of incredible. It is a hidden gem in the Garden District, and yet close enough to the French Quarter and other famous New Orleans landmarks to make it a perfect location to get away. When we arrived at the hotel, we were pleased to find that it was even better than what was advertised. The hotel itself is beautiful, the architecture and decor is stunning. It is filled with a rich history of New Orleans, and yet has a sleek modern flair as well that is very comforting. Our room was extremely quiet and the beds were so so so comfortable. We both got the best sleep we've had in ages during our stay! We slept so well, that we asked if we could buy the brand of pillows they use. Their coffee and muffins in the lobby every morning were sinfully good and a great way to start each day of our trip. The Henry Howard Hotel staff went above and beyond to ensure that we were well taken care of during our stay. They offered tips on where to go to see live music, where to get the best food, transportation options, and also offered some locals advice, all of which we happily took and incorporated into our plans. We highly recommend the Henry Howard Hotel to anyone looking for an amazing New Orleans experience. We cannot recommend it highly enough! We are already looking forward to our next visit and stay at the HHH! Steve & Jodi

Warning to anyone looking to book a room at this hotel. You will regret it! This place is not all it presents itself to be in the web. To call this place a hotel is wrong- this is really an Airbnb but with several issues. Do not think you will be staying in anything if what you would consider a hotel. It's more like rent someone's room for the night. Beware- you will be unable to get a single second of sleep due to excessive noise throughout the house all hours of the night. You will hear every single car that passes on the street. You will hear pedestrians talking on the street. You will hear your neighbors words through the wall. Yes, words! You will hear the noise from the lobby in your room. It sounds louder than being on a plane. Get the message here? Better yet, the hotel fails to take any responsibility for the issue and instead offers ear plugs. What a joke! Who wants to wear earplugs when you are paying $300 a night. And this is what they call a boutique hotel??? Please! Please do yourself a favor and think twice about booking a room at this motel. There are too many good reviews all over the web and it is very deceiving It got me. Management does not want to tell you about the issue nor do they take any responsibility. If you are looking at the garden district, I suggest you look at other options before you are faced with what I faced. I hope that by writing this post, other will save themselves from this trap of what is considered a hotel. I normally don't write reviews but felt strongly about this.

So amazing, we are already planning on staying there again on our next trip. We stayed for one night over Halloween weekend. Easy check in and check out. Hotel was super clean with spacious rooms. All employees were very helpful, providing local recommendations and even helped us take pictures before our Vampire Ball event. We loved the cute bar they had in the lobby. Small bed and breakfast feel. Was great to be able to quickly head down and get a drink while getting ready. Just 1 block from the street car for easy access to the French Quarter.

I had a DREAM weekend at Henry Howard. My room was absolutely stunning, with high vaulted ceilings and everything was impeccably designed (and super clean). The entire staff was so helpful and kind - they were able to accommodate a late check out for me and also gave wonderful recommendations as it was my first time in New Orleans. I was visiting with my dad but he was staying closer in the quarter - when I showed him HH, he was in AWE (as was I the entire time!) The whole staff provided truly luxe accommodations while also making it feel like a welcoming home (I could have stayed there forever). Brian remembered my name throughout the weekend and the kindness of the staff made it sad to leave! I will see you all again next year. PS - fabulous location and super easy to grab either the streetcar or an inexpensive Uber toward the quarter. Walking distance from Magazine St. and its wonderful shops as well as my fave sandwich in NOLA at Turkey and the Wolf.

Stayed for a 3 night mother daughter trip to NOLA. I chose this hotel for its smaller size and location. HHH did not disappoint. The decor is tasteful and it felt like staying in a beautiful old house, which made it a comfortable place to return after spending the day out and about. Our room was on the ground floor, which worked well for my mom and her bad knees, and we were by the side exit to the garden but were not bothered by the sound of an occasional closing door. The window coverings provided adequate coverage-we did check! Our room also had a ceiling fan, something we really liked but rarely have in hotels. The location was fantastic, away from the noise but a block from a tram station and St. Charles St and an easy walk to Magazine St for more restaurants and shops. We liked the cafe across the street. The service was friendly, efficient and helpful. We were welcomed every time we came back and the spaces kept clean at all times. My mom really enjoyed talking with Bruce, the afternoon/evening person, and found him the most helpful.

We stayed here after our first hotel didn't work out and it worked out so great. The rooms are spacious but also intimate. They have a classy New Orleans feel to them. There is a cocktail bar open until 10:00 pm as well as coffee and tea in the morning. The staff were very attentive and courteous. The location was fantastic as it is blocks away from the historic mansions in the garden district and far enough from the French quarter to get away from the busy nightlife. We loved our time here and would love to stay there again.

AMAZING HOTEL!!! We stayed here in November of 2023. We had an awesome experience. The hotel is an old family home so there are only 19 rooms and it feels like you are staying in-house as opposed to a hotel. the rooms are very spacious, very clean and private. Amazing living room/lobby, some rooms have awesome balconies or little patio areas. The staff here is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city and have tons of recommendations for anything you want to do. The hotel is just one block from the street car that will take you right down to Bourbon Street and back. This is the perfect area if you want to stay just outside the French Quarter but still access it regularly. Very safe and quiet. This hotel is extremely close to magazine shopping and dining as well.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Henry Howard Hotel. The staff (THANK YOU, BRIAN!) were all so helpful and attentive. The rooms were so clean, well maintained and the beds were extremely comfortable. My fiancé really enjoyed the chocolate chip cookies they gave during turndown service. While we both enjoyed sipping a handcrafted cocktail in the Parlor. We come to Nola often and are so glad we were able to relax while also doing some wedding planning. We actually got some much-needed rest during our stay. We can't wait to come back!

Spent 4 nights here for a business trip. Hhh is a quaint, boutique hotel that is run incredibly well. I particularly enjoyed my experience with Bruce, who always seemed to be on top of everything in the evening shifts. House keeping was thorough, rooms were clean and all the amenities I needed were there. Would stay again!

Just got back from a 3 night stay at this beautiful hotel in a perfect location. Brittaney warmly greeted us at check-in and made sure our anniversary was special. She had the best recommendations of where to eat and how to get the most out of our first time in NOLA. The location is in the beautiful and safe Garden District. It's about a 15 minute walk to Magazine St. which has great restaurants and shopping. Transport to the French Quarter is easy and cheap since the streetcar pickup is one block away. The hotel is very clean and unique. The parlor has a cool setup with a fun bar and the continental breakfast there has good coffee, OJ and fresh muffins - everything was tasty. Our room had unique antique furniture and we liked the decorating very much. We would never want to stay anywhere else.

Don't stay here, especially for a special occasion. The water pressure was bad, the walls are too thin, but most importantly they have rude staff and management. I missed checkout by less than 2 hours and they charged me a full night of $309 even though staff told me I could get a late check out when I called early that morning to ask. The general manager then disputed that the staff had ever told me that and said "we never do late check outs after weddings." Our group booked the full hotel for the weekend for a wedding and still they refused to give even a partial refund... This is New Orleans - be more accommodating. And don't tell your clients one thing and then change your position and deny it was ever said.

The Henry Howard is a beautiful hotel in a great location in New Orleans. We were in town for one night and used Hotel Tonight for the first time and were lucky enough to snag a room here at a great price. We had heard of the hotel before because we visit New Orleans often and it had been on our list of places to stay. The Henry Howard is an old house that has been turned into a hotel and it has wonderful charm. It is named for the architect that designed the original double gallery townhouse in 1867. The lobby is amazing and decorated in such a beautiful, classic New Orleans way. There is also a small lobby bar if you want to grab a drink and take it all in. The front porch is huge and beautiful but it was too hot to enjoy it when we visited. July heat in New Orleans is no joke! Our room was a Superior Queen and was very small but quite cute and beautifully decorated. The room wasn't much larger than the bed and there were two steps leading up to a large bathroom in a small hall. This kind of broke up the space a bit. It was well laid out but if I stayed here again I would opt for a larger room. Each room has robes and an honor bar with libations, water, and snacks. Another perk was the delicious cookies that were waiting for us when we arrived home from dinner. The person that brought us to our room said that they drop fresh baked cookies around 7pm each night. Our room faced the street behind the hotel and overlooked a nice patio space. The beds were super comfy but the pillows were way too thick my me. I didn't ask for a thinner pillow but they may have them. I ended up going pillow- less halfway through the night because I woke up with a stiff neck. Our interactions with the staff here were minimal and not memorable. In other reviews I have read about exceptional service and how great the owner is. I would have liked to have met him but our stay was so short we were mostly focused on soaking up as much of the city as possible. Overall, this is a beautiful hotel and was a good experience. I would certainly recommend staying here.

I decided to make a trip to my favorite city to work remote for a bit. Normally, I stay in the FQ, but wanted something peaceful in the Garden District. Absolutely loved this hotel! There were so many spots around the hotel to read my book and work on my computer. It felt like home. It's the most perfect location to walk around and take in the history of the homes in the area, hop on the streetcar and grab food! Already planning a trip back in November to bring my husband

I love every single thing about this hotel and experience we had. From the to-go drinks to the staff to the room (so cute! Local artists on the walls! The bed is so comfy!)(also did I mention the staff because they're amazing) to the small details (they leave cookies on your bed at turn down! they had a whole first aid kit for me when I needed a band-aid! they left us Mardi Gras kit with a poncho because it rained! they had super cute umbrellas available! they send a follow up thank you post card!) The location is great and very central if you're looking for somewhere outside the French Quarter, especially during Mardi Gras. I could seriously go on and on and on. 100% best place we've ever stayed. The exclamation points in this review should be enough to convince you. Go there immediately.

We just returned last week from a 5 day minimoon in New Orleans, where we stayed at the Henry Howard Hotel. We LOVED everything about it. The room was incredible! And we had a huge private section of the main galerie all to ourselves, where we spent most of our evenings. The property is impeccably renovated and kept. I lived in Savannah for years and ogled the beautiful, stately homes and finally was able to stay in one just like them! Upon arrival, we were surprised with a complementary bottle of champagne and received warm, homemade cookies every night for our turndown service. Monika was so helpful! She went out of her way to reach out to us to book tours, activities, etc. for our trip and provided us with a wonderful restaurant list so that we could plan ahead. She was absolutely amazing! Brian, who was working several of the evenings that we were there, was an absolute joy! We had wonderful conversations, he made great cocktails and also gave us some great recommendations on places to check out. He made us feel at home from the moment of our arrival! I couldn't recommend the Henry Howard Hotel more highly! And we loved New Orleans so much that we are considering a future move there. When we visit to house hunt, I know where I'm staying!

Unfortunately I was not a guest here, but after a long walk around the charming Lower Garden District area my friend and I walked in, and were welcomed by Max who gave us a history lesson of the area and also showed us around the charming boutique hotel. I fell in love with all the details and love it's tucked in a quiet and charming neighborhood. Max is not only the front deskman he is also the bartender! It was a hot day and coming from California we were not prepared for the NOLA heat, he served us with cocktail menus, and I chose the Moscow Mule and my friend had the Lemon H. It was refreshing, and also nice to sit down and relax in The Parlor and admire the interior and also feel at home eventhough I wasn't a hotel guest. Southern charm and hospitality was definitely felt, and I would book a room here for sure for my next visit.

I think I was the only guest (thanks Covid-19) the night I arrived and I had a wonderful stay. The manager waited up for me (flight was late) and was very understanding. A bonus was ordering my preferred coffee drink to be delivered to my room at whatever time I chose. It's a great area and great price for a boutique hotel. Do it.

This was a great little find in the garden district. We were glad to be away from the craziness of bourbon street.

This is a beautiful hotel full of history mixed with old & new decor. We were greeted at the door by Alberto as if we were long lost friends welcoming us into their home. Now that is southern hospitality! The service is EXCEPTIONAL and down to earth. I didn't feel like I was just another guest checking into a 1000 room hotel. This hotel does not offer any restaurants, but Altamura Traitorria, Mr. John's Steakhouse and the Pontchartrain are within walking distance. The streetcar is one block away too. I will definitely be back regardless of the rates.

What a gem of a hotel!! Absolutely stunning decor and excellent customer service. The beds are super comfortable and the rooms are quite spacious. The only con is that the walls are quite thin so noise is a bit of an issue if you're near the stairwell but hopefully they'll add some sort of soundproofing that would help! Loved staying here for my first New Orleans trip, the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back!

Charming. Cozy. Beautifully updated. A bedazzling number of nooks and crannies. Might be our favorite New Orleans Hotel. And we've stayed in a bunch.

Yelp
My stay was 5 months ago; I'm just getting round to a review. 4 stars because the queen rooms are big, upscale and very clean. The sheets and bedding are comfy and top quality. The location can't be beat. Some rooms have access to nice balconies. The modern bathrooms are roomy too. The charming old house is full of history, high ceilings and wooden floors but everything is freshly painted and in super great condition as it has been completely renovated. The hotel charges premium prices so this is expected. There are definitely some logistics issues. Parking can be difficult. We were at least 2 full blocks away and there was no staff to help us with bags, just one tiny check-in lady. Normally I don't want someone walking me to the room - I can do that just fine. But I would have liked to drop the bags off at the front door instead of schlepping them down uneven sidewalks and over street curbs. I also didn't like having my car parked way out of sight on some random side street. In fairness, this may not always be the case - there was construction going on across the street - but the hotel was pretty empty when we stayed there and parking is limited. I won't go into details, but later we had some maintenance issues with our room (air conditioning) and the only staff we could find was one teenage girl who was apparently in charge. No maintenance personnel (or anyone else) were available. She was sweet as can be but helpless. There was a small bar but it wasn't manned very often. Yes there were sometimes fresh cookies at night (limited availability) but I don't eat chocolate right before bed so it wasn't a big deal to me. As I recall there was also juice and ice water in the morning and I think maybe coffee as well. There is no restaurant which didn't bother me. I don't want to eat a big breakfast when I know I'm going to be eating great lunches and dinners around New Orleans. One last gripe is the wire shelf in the shower. Soap, razors and little shampoo bottles all fell through to the floor. That may seem like a small thing but after 5 days it was really annoying. I'd recommend this hotel if you are pretty self-sufficient. It is very nice but expensive.

If I could give zero stars, I would! Oh the Henry Howard hotel.......what a waste of an experience...and money, lots of money. The H.H. Hotel seemed very charming as it had quite a beautiful street presence, however, that indeed was the only beautiful aspect of our stay. I was told they had just converted to a new system, which made checking in/out and billing very confusing. Seemed there were quite a few kinks that still needed to be worked out. Reading from other reviews, unlike most guest, we never met the owners or engaged much with management as they seemed prejudice towards my boyfriend. For being a booked hotel, they only had one housekeeper our entire 2-night stay. Housekeeping was incredibly slow and room was full off dust upon arrival. We were also able to hear every passing car throughout the night as the walls were paper thin. I love New Orleans and for the most part have lovely experiences, no thanks to the Henry Howard Hotel!

My brother and I came to visit NOLA for Halloween - Big thank you to Monica and staff for making this a memorable for visit! The hotel itself was amazing! So beautiful, clean, welcoming and the service was the fantastic. Monica made sure we were taken care of from the second we stepped in the door, and helped us to find an array of great tours and restaurants in the area. The hotel itself if situated in the lovely Garden District, a great break from the bustling French Quarter. The trolley (on St. Charles) is conveniently situated around the corner, making a trip downtown/FQ about a 15 min ride/30 min walk. The neighborhood itself is absolutely fantastic - lots of restaurants and beautiful sights nearby. In short, I highly recommend a stay here, and will definitely return on our next visit! Thank you Monica :) PS fresh baked cookies on your bed stand each night, doesn't get any cozier than that!

We had a wonderful stay at this redone house to hotel. Alberto treats us like a bnb host (but no, sadly no breakfast). The Good - We stayed in a great, cute and well-decorated room (205). We didn't hear anyone above us since only the penthouse is on the 3rd floor. The bathroom is accessible by stairs, in-room, so don't stay in this one if you can't do stairs. - Each turndown service gave cookies. Such delicious salted chocolate chip cookies. - There was flavored water offered around the clock and lifesavers mints - The bed was so comfortable. - I felt great coming back here after a long day. - They are SO HOSPITABLE! What a lovely place. - The location is great. You're very close to the street car stop. The hotel doesn't have food, but the Pontchartrain Hotel (2 minute walk) has a wonderful breakfast place and a great, well-noted restaurant, Caribbean Room, for dinner. We didn't try the others in there. Magazine street isn't that far. It stretches for 3 miles but you can walk and use the street car. The Bad/Recommendations - The night time guy was slightly condescending explaining to me what turndown service was, the first night time he saw me, when I asked if my room was done when I came back from dinner. I already knew since I had been there two nights. He was fine on other occasions. - Queen rooms have hardly any space for toiletries in the bathroom. They gave us a stand with a tray that fit in the bathroom to add more space. I recommend installing more shelves, such as on the wall right of the sink, and a hook for a hand towel left of the sink. - Queen rooms don't have much area for hanging up clothes or putting clothes away. I'd change the table with small drawers to a dresser and add a deeper closet. - Queen rooms just have a standing corner shower, no bath. The wire shelf does not fit the toiletries well. Every shower something dropped through the wire rack. Soap, the little bottles they provide, my razor. Please switch to a solid rack, and add an extra one because again, hardly any space to store stuff. - Switch from single pane to double pane windows. Although the hotel room we were in (205) was situated on the quieter side, I was woken from truck noise and zippy motorbikes. Also, people hollering on the weekend. During the week no hollering. - Turndown service was lovely with cookies, but minimal. Other places I've gone to emptied the trash and replaced towels. This isn't "make it or break it", but I'd at least empty the trash. - I'd encourage replacing the robes as often as the towels. I'd have to request they be changed. Even if they were on the floor, they'd pick them up and hang up again. Gross. So yes, I'd stay here, hands down. And Alberto is great.

One of the best boutique hotels we've been to. The place has a ton of charm and character, and it's conveniently located by a street car line and Magazine St. The host, Monica, is incredible! I've never met anyone who takes such great care of guests. She helped arrange a number of excursions for us, including a private walking tour. She made herself available to us at all hours (even when she was off work). 5 stars for the hotel, 6 for the staff!

The HHH is absolutely beautiful! I love how each of the rooms have their own unique charm, enjoying drinks or coffee in the parlor or on the front porch is also wonderful. You honestly feel like you are staying in someones house. We stayed for a total of 6 nights, 2 of which we rented out the entire mansion to have our wedding on site! Such an incredible venue for an intimate destination wedding. (or other type of private events, I recommend it!) Maggie, Brandie, and the front desk staff was wonderful to work with and always very accommodating to myself and guests. They definitely went the extra mile to make sure my parents were comfortable had all they needed. The only negative I can really say is as this is a newer property there are still some hiccups in the system to work out. Check-in/Check-out and billing was a little confusing. And during nights where the entire hotel was booked out there only seemed to be 1 housekeeping personal on staff so the clean up and/or change over of rooms was slow. Overall, a gorgeous property and wonderful staff, I'd definitely recommend staying here or booking your next event with them! My newly married husband and I are looking forward to returning!!

This is one of THE best hotels I have ever stayed at inside the US. The service team is absolutely exceptional. They didn't miss a detail during the renovation. We were so comfortable in our room we didn't want to check out. We will be back! xoxo

We were told about this hotel from a few friends and heard about the remodel and new ownership. We can not say enough good things about this hotel! The decor is beautiful and comfortable, without being stuffy. They did a great job of creating an environment that fits in perfectly with the aesthetic of New Orleans. We stayed in the King Suite with a balcony and it was amazing! We loved it and were able to work out on the balcony for a few hours. The staff was really friendly and gave us a tour of the penthouse. We travel a lot and care about design and everything about this hotel was great! The branding I loved as it was subtle yet made a statement. The decor in the rooms was really clean and light and just perfect. Bed is super cozy too! And rooms are quiet. Location is fantastic. We took a 5 minute walk to the charming Magazine street, stumbled upon a delicious coffee spot called HiVolt and ate at Shaya. We also were maybe a 10 min can ride from the French Quarter, The Warehouse District and so much else. I can't say enough great things about this hotel! We will be back!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Henry Howard hotel and the tremendous customer service I received from Monika. I booked 3 rooms for my VIP clients that also happen to work for a large hotel company. I was nervous since I had never stayed at this hotel. My nerves quickly faded. Monika kept in touch with me prior to their arrival and suggested tours, restaurants and even rides to and from the airport. She completely took care of my guests throughout their stay and made me look great! When they checked in, she knew exactly who they were and that I had booked their rooms. The personal and local touch was amazing! In all of my years working with hotels, this experience ranks at the top of my list. As for the hotel itself, my customers couldn't say enough nice things about it. They loved their rooms, the friendliness of the staff, and the delicious cookies! This hotel is a true New Orleans gem and I recommend it highly. Thanks to all at the hotel for making it such a memorable visit for my customers.

My new fiancé' and I stayed at the hotel this past weekend. The owners greeted us as soon as we walked in and we felt right at home. The rooms were very spacious and clean. Everything had been remodeled very well! The location is AWESOME one block off of St. Charles in the Garden District. This hotel is truly a gem. You're crazy not to stay there.

Three night stay. Nothing but good things to say. Lower Garden District is a great place to explore - Magazine Street. Quiet street, charming room.

I recently spent 3 nights at the Henry Howard Hotel while attending a convention in New Orleans. The hotel has been completely renovated and has a nice decor throughout the room. Bathroom shower has plenty of power not like your typical hotel room that doesn't have good water pressure. The beds were nice and comfortable with high quality linens and pillows. As far as the hotel staff they are excellent and very professional, they gladly called a cab for me each morning and did so with a smile on there face. I come from a customer serviced based industry and can appreciate above average service. If i had to make one corrective criticism i would have to advise that the in room bar is way overpriced. $3.50 for a bottle of soda that is less than a 20oz is a little crazy. All in all it was a wonderful experience and would highly recommend to anyone staying in the area! Best of luck to the owners of this hotel i know it just recently opened in February.

Very friendly staff, and the rooms were very unique and welcoming. The concierge was always helpful and had many good recommendations for attractions and places to eat.

I can't even explain what a great experience we had at this hotel! Everyone on staff was amazing - especially Max! They made our wedding weekend more than we could have expected. They went above and beyond to accommodate our requests! Most comfortable beds in the world as well! Beautiful Hotel with an amazing staff!!! We will be back for sure. Highly recommend.

This hotel is fabulous! My husband and I stayed at the Henry Howard with a group of friends this past weekend and we have only rave reviews for the rooms, staff and location. The hotel is new, so the owners have been super involved and were greeting everyone who arrived. I loved the personal touch. The coffee in the morning hit the spot, and the rocking chairs on the front were a perfect spot for an afternoon cocktail from the bar. I'll only stay at The Henry Howard from now on in NOLA.

Really lovely - beautiful rooms, the most friendly and accommodating staff, comfortable beds and a great location. We will definitely be back!!

This hotel is perfect if you want to stay outside the noise and mayhem of downtown, but still be in a classic feeling location surrounded by old NOLA mansions in the Garden District (and still close to the French Quarter tourist attractions). Customer service was excellent and it really made a difference in our stay. Plus the mix of modern and vintage decor set a lovely atmosphere. Would stay again!

We decided to stay in the Henry Howard Hotel this trip to New Orleans due to it's close proximity to downtown and small, local feel. The location turned out to be perfect with great walkable bars and restaurants in the neighborhood. It was also just a 5-10 minute drive to the CBD and French Quarter. The neighborhood was quiet and charming, and always provided ample free parking along the streets. The friendly staff was always helpful and the room service was always prompt in its cleaning. I will definitely consider coming back in my future trips to NOLA.

My husband and I stayed here for a quick night away from home to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Balcony in our room was great -- overlooked a beautiful oak tree which was both romantic and inspirational. We enjoyed some yummy wine on the balcony in the evening (purchased from convenient bar in lobby) and a delicious cup of brew in the morning (we just let them know when we were ready for our morning coffee and they brought it right up!). Bed was super comfortable and the room was particularly spacious. Location was also much better than I initially thought with an abundance of places to walk to for food and drink.

I have never had a more horrendous hotel experience than at the Henry Howard Hotel. A large group of my family booked reservations 8 months in advance of a family wedding we were attending in New Orleans. Upon arrival, I was told that I did not have a reservation. I had my confirmation, but that did not help. Of course it was blamed on Expedia and Hotels.com, yet all other 5 rooms of our party had their reservations through the same website. Then it was blamed on new management, etc, etc. They comped me for the first night and offered to find me another hotel room which I refused. I did not want to be separated from my family for this wedding. I was a single female and afraid to be by myself. I suggested they "bump" their last reservation made and allow me to stay. This was never even considered, but yet they were bumping me. My cousin came down to help me and the manager for the day, Max, laughed in our faces as we tried to come to a resolution. We asked numerous times to speak to the General Manager, but were refused that as well. A supposed "assistant manager", dressed in a housekeeping uniform, reiterated what Max said...No room, no manager. Out of the goodness of his heart, my cousin gave me his room and slept on a couch somewhere. I have never dealt with a more rude, unprofessional, teenage manager in my life. I would NEVER recommend the Henry Howard Hotel to anyone-0 stars, but the site in wouldn't allow that.
