Le Richelieu Hotel

The rooms were clean, staff were polite, and it was in a great location. Very short walks were needed to reach Bourbon Street & the shops. The pool was very nice to take a dip in and take photos next to. The parking is locked so our friend’s car was secure the whole trip & we were left to enjoy New Orleans. The front desk person told us her recommendations for places to eat & we enjoyed the food. Great hospitality! Definitely a hotel I would come back to next time in New Orleans!!

This hotel is wonderful. It is pristine clean, providing free water in the lobby, free unlimited water bottles and very modern. Room keys are sent to your phone. Brittany was accommodating when we arrived and left. The only downfall is the hallways being noisy due to housekeeping starting around 9am. So if you are a light sleeper and are trying to sleep in after a long night out, good luck. Otherwise, i had a great time

This place could not have been more perfect! Beautiful, historic property-ghost stories and gas lanterns included! Lol. Modern facilities, but they kept the history of the property visible and alive . Perfect location for walking to the French Market (just a couple/3 blocks!), Cafe du Monde (beignets!) and awesome restaurants scattered around the French Quarter. We had a balcony room overlooking the pool-spacious and well maintained! We loved coffee on the balcony each morning before walking around all morning/afternoon. We also enjoyed the pool (in between rain showers😬) - clean and lovely area! Bed very comfortable! Loved those afternoon naps! Lol. Plenty of hot water AND good pressure in shower! Lots of storage both in room and bathroom (which is rare!) Staff amazing! Super friendly and helpful- they directed us to restaurants, local points of interest, coffee available in the morning (or excellent cafe around the corner for a pastry and cappucino!) Staff also helped with printing our cruise boarding passes and info. Friendly to chat with anytime we were coming in or going out. I NEVER say this —. BUT….This place is a ‘must stay’ if you are visiting the French Quarter! Historic, beautiful, clean and comfortable, and SO walkable! Truly made my visit to New Orleans memorable🥰🙏🏼👍🏼.

Not what it used to be. My wife and I have been coming here since 2010 then Covid hit in 2020 we came back in 2024. We did see that new owners gave it a refresh so we’re like how could they mess this up? Well they did! I will give a quick overview; The rooms now have no sound deadening you can hear what’s being said in the next room or in the hallways. They play music in the courtyard/pool area loudly until 11pm. I understand if there’s a lot going on no one is there? Only one staff member ever said good morning or hi or as we were leaving have a good day. The couch and improvements made are nice in the photos but are low grade at a closer look. The only bright spot it’s walking distance to most popular places. In conclusion If you’re going to be in New Orleans for more than 3 days this is NOT the place for you. 2 day one night ok. No restaurant, very thin walls, robot staff, cheap remodeling. Not worth it. We will be back in New Orleans just not in this Hotel.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed it. I love this hotel. The rooms are great and the beds of comfortable. The looks of the hotel is a feel and mixture of new and old and really adds to the feel. The people are nice that work there and always give a warm welcome when they see you. I believe that two of the front desk staff where Eve and Brie? But they where always sweet. They have done a few upgrades to the hotel and it makes this much smoother with checking in, get upgrades and accessing your vehicle. I highly recommend this hotel and I will be staying here anytime I'm in New Orleans.

My husband and I go to NOLA every May and we enjoy staying at older, historic hotels with character. We stayed at Le Richelieu this past weekend. We weren't disappointed. It's in the French Quarter, so close enough to walk to everything. It has a pool, a bar, and on site parking (gated) for an additional fee. Doors are locked at 7 pm. Location was safe and convenient.

You cannot beat the location. Have stayed here many times previously , but not since the remodel. It took me a while to get used to the changes. It’s very clean and almost bland , but after getting back from a long day walking through the French Quarter it turned out to be very nice. The front desk staff are incredibly nice. It’s a very well located , comfortable and tidy hotel. We very much enjoyed our stay

Below average After seeing the positive reviews of other travelers, it almost feels like we stayed in a completely different hotel, but even though I wish we had, we were at Le Richelieu. We brushed our teeth in the shower because the sink was clogged and would be full for hours before slowly seeping out during our entire stay, even though I had brought the problem up to each front desk agent I interacted with. The ventilation worked 50% of the time. We had to continue to flip the settings from hot to cold to get any air movement, and that only worked half the time. The window did not open, so there was no way to enjoy any outside air. We felt trapped inside. The bathroom exhaust fan would only come on with the motion sensor for a minute at a time, and you could not turn it on for a shower or when using the toilet. One of the 2 elevators would make a large clunking sound around the fourth floor that sounded like something fell in the shaft and didn't feel safe to use. We lost one of the plastic key fobs and were charged $50 for it. A plastic card would be a lot more user-friendly and easily replaceable. Although the room was ready upon our arrival they wanted to charge an additional $20 to place our bags in the room being earlier than check in. The halls were very loud with carts rolling up and down early in the morning and people talking. On a positive note, the beds were comfortable and the staff was nice even though there was nothing they didn't help with any of the above.
