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

This place was amazing to stay in! The concept altogether is fitting for being in NOLA but this was very cool! The rooms and entire Inn keep the old 1900s jail feel but with modern updates for comfort which I 100% appreciated! And the bedding...it was like sleeping on a cloud! It was hard for me to get up in the morning because I was TOO comfortable! The bathrooms were so clean and I loved the rainshower! My recommendation there would be to replace the shower liner. But towels, washcloths, and bedding smelled fresh! Like they just came out the dryer with that nice clean scent...I loved that! There is find your own spot street parking, but I can say I NEVER had trouble finding a spot next to the jail, and I was in and out alot. This place is privately owned and the owner was VERY nice! Greeted me with a smile and showed me around then gave me a tour of the place. He's very responsive to guests questions and sends a great list of places to eat and visit in the area that are walking distance from Inn! I dont want to give away too much because this is a place you just have to go experience...no review will do it justice for what you see in person..I loved it and am telling EVERYONE I know about it! 10/10 worth it...I will be back soon!

I cannot even begin to explain how incredible our stay was!!! From the moment we walked in the door we were blown away by the ambiance! It’s so eclectic and unique and just down right stunning, it takes you a moment to catch your breath. Add in that the incredible service with nothing but good vibes- I couldn’t have asked for more. Everything was so clean and just perfection. Todd was literally TO DIE FOR! He was welcoming and friendly, on a casual levee- you could feel the love and pride exuding from the moment we got there. I’m telling you- when you meet someone with such a beautiful soul, you realize you absolutely made the right decision on booking. We will undoubtably be back soon!

Inn at the Old Jail is a true gem in Treme. It's got spacious, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. The common spaces provide wonderful gathering spots. Todd, the owner, is a familiar presence and provides lots of great advice about local restaurants and happenings. I love the super-local, "neighborhoody" vibe of the place.

Perfect place for a unique New Orleans stay. Just outside the French Quarter, in the heart of Tremé, this place is ideally situated to explore deeper than tourists normally do. The Inn has lovely, well-appointed rooms and ambience off the charts. From time to time they host secret shows, so don't be surprised to see a local musician stopping by to jam!

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!

I was only there for one night. However I will be back. Very friendly welcoming atmosphere. Close to everything you would expect a New Orleans trip to be. I will recommend this to anyone looking for a unique New Orleans experience they have done an amazing job. The rooms are clean and comfortable they also spacious. I loved it.

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.
