Where to Stay in New Orleans When You Visit (Updated 2025)

"Housed in a landmark Victorian that was once a jail (1902) and later a library, the Inn at the Old Jail has been transformed into a comfortable hotel where each room is a suite, giving families plenty of space." - Matthew Kepnes

The 6 Best Hotels in New Orleans (Updated 2025)

"I’m drawn to the Inn at the Old Jail because it occupies a 1902 Victorian building and national historic landmark that was once a jail and later a library, and is now a boutique hotel run by two brothers. I love the uniqueness and history—there are nine distinct rooms (including a budget-friendly room literally called The Cage with a former inmate’s name carved into the wall)—and amenities like a rooftop deck and a full guest kitchen (there’s no restaurant or breakfast). Rooms feature high ceilings, original hardwood floors, reclaimed-wood wainscoting salvaged after Katrina, antique furniture, queen beds with memory-foam mattresses, and bathrooms with tub/shower combos and classic subway tile; the Tremé location off the tourist trail also makes it a great pick for foodies seeking traditional Creole and Cajun fare." - Matthew Kepnes

I recently had the pleasure of attending a baby shower at The Inn at the Old Jail, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by its unique charm and character. The historic building itself is a stunning blend of rustic elegance and modern amenities, creating an atmosphere that feels both warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout our time there. They were attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed while allowing us to enjoy every moment of this special celebration. Overall, my experience at The Inn at the Old Jail for this baby shower was nothing short of magical. If you’re looking for a venue that blends history with charm while providing exceptional service and attention to detail, look no further than this hidden gem! I can’t wait for my next visit!

A historic police station and jail, totally restored makes for a great venue! Hosted our entire extended family in this very interesting inn. Lovely lounges with pianos and billiards, and a rooftop deck which was so very nice in the evenings. The common area also includes a large community kitchen. Perfect for a large group of friends or family traveling together and the intimate lounges are spaced well enough apart to provide privacy for small groups as well. Highly recommended!

Such an amazing experience here! Todd, the innkeeper, really made New Orleans such a great experience! The Jail was a perfect location and super adorable inside. I recommend to a lot of my friends visiting as well and they loved it too! Very clean and cozy inside.

Our experience at “The Old Jail” ranks up there with some of the best we’ve had in NOLA. Authentic New Orleans hospitality, complete with an impromptu jazz session with some neighbors of the super cool Treme neighborhood. Todd is the consummate host, with a local’s repertoire of great recommendations of places to eat, things to do and music to hear. Can’t wait to make our return to this very special treasure of New Orleans ✨

I had the pleasure of staying at the Inn at the Old Jail. The neighborhood is wonderful with walking distance to a craft brewery and Flour Moon Bagels. Being an admirer of industrial architecture, I was absolutely blown away by the level of detail that went into the restoration of this building. The design and decor are beyond anything I have ever experienced. I was able to use the self-check-in and found that I had the entire building to myself. ||After a long travel day, I was able to use the honesty cash bar and relax with a game of billiard’s before retiring to my room (The Cage). The detail and craftsmanship are impeccable, the queen bed was so comfortable with quality bedding, linens and perfect lighting. Todd was a fabulous host and communicated well from booking to checkout. I highly recommend the Inn and I cannot wait to return for my next stay!

The hotel has been impeccably restored and authentically restored down to the furniture and even the finest detail. The generous owner was very gregarious and made us feel as if we were at home during our stay. The room and bathroom were in immaculate condition and the bed was comfortable. I'd definitely stay here again

My husband and I just got back from a wonderful long weekend in New Orleans with lifelong friends. Great sightseeing - town tour, WWII museum, trip to the Whitney plantation, to name a few, as well as delicious food. However, ranking up there with the top of the list was The Inn at the Old Jail in the Treme neighborhood. It had everything - character, style, great rooms with comfortable beds, rooftop deck, and great open places to hang out and relax (including a pool table). Most of all, the owner, Todd, was the consummate host. We all had fun talking with him and learned so much about Treme and New Orleans. His style in designing the place was beyond amazing. It was quite an interesting museum, with fascinating art, pictures and artifacts. I know we will come back someday. This is one of those niche hotels you SHOULDN'T miss!!!

This is an excellent place to stay while visiting New Orleans. Our host, Todd was friendly, helpful and kind to our group of 12 family & friends. The place is unique, very well equipped, clean and very charming. I highly recommend staying here as a couple or with a group. We stayed here before embarking on a cruise of the Mississippi and it was the perfect place to begin our adventure. We walked to the French Quarter from here so it's close enough to the action but far enough away to get some rest at night. Todd was extremely accommodating and was an excellent host providing us with helpful hints and all too often...much needed directions!
