Park View Historic Hotel

We just got back from a week at Park View Hotel and are already hoping to get there for next year. We had such a lovely and relaxing stay. The tram is right outside the front entrance so getting down to the French Quarter Festival was easy. The rooms and common spaces are thoughtful and timeless. Lorenzo at the front desk was a joy to work with and really, all the staff were wonderful. The view from the third floor front room was perfect for privacy and the bar was there when we felt social. I can see why brides like it and why engagements happen there. The peacock theme and colours gave me so many ideas to bring home for future touches as we all need a little bit of New Orleans style and humour in our every day lives.

The hotel is still undergoing improvements, but our room overlooked Audubon Park and was beautifully updated, with a walk-in shower, the latest electronics (which we didn't turn on) and lovely antique furniture. It's like stepping into the past, with modern conveniences. The owners provided a Guest Information Folder with valuable info about local dining and attractions, but also hotel amenities and even background on the art hanging in the room. There is a bar and lounge area on the first floor that is very welcoming and incorporates outside seating in the garden and wrap-around front porch. All of the staff was courteous and helpful. This was a very positive experience for us and the rest of our party.

If you are going to visit New Orleans and you would like to see more than the French Quarter… please stay at the Park View. We have been staying there twice a year for 12-15 years. We stay for long periods of 4-5 days and we have never been disappointed with our visits. The rooms are comfortable and full of antiques and the hotel itself is well kept and staffed with very caring and kind people. The location is within blocks of Loyola and Tulane on beautiful ST CHARLES AVE, and it is across the side street from Audubon Park. The street car stops right out front and will get you to the Quarter while looking out the windows at the beautiful mansions on St Charles. There is a wonderful breakfast every morning and snacks in the afternoon. The bar in the lobby is fun and usually has a nice crowd.|This is located Uptown, across the park from the Garden district and fun just to walk around.|We have stayed other places in the city when we could not book the Park View but nothing compares.|I do want to say, if you are looking for new and modern this is not it. However the charm and elegance and welcoming staff are far better than new.|Thank you to Liz and the crew… we appreciate you!|💕Julie

I really wanted to like this place because of its location. I had booked a room with a balcony on the third floor. When I arrived we were checked into another room with no balcony. We were told it was sold out and nothing could be done, but that's fine. Room 21. Check in was horrible and while employees were standing around, no one assisted or even offered to help us with bags up three steep set of stairs. I was really shocked at the condition of the room. The shades couldn't even be pulled up because they were broken. The room was terribly outdated. I actually thought it could have been a fire hazard the way plugs were strewn about with extension cords. The room was so small you could barely walk around the beds. It was also very dirty, and we wore our shoes the entire time because the rugs were so musty and damp. The entire hotel was dirty. There was overflowing garbage in the lobby every day and no attention was taken to keep the porch clean or swept. There were empty beer bottles on the benches that weren't picked up from the night before - and still there well into the afternoon. No paper towels or tissue boxes. Just the worse experience ever. I actually fell down the stairs one morning because of the poor condition of the rugs bunching up (I informed the front desk but no one cared). We weren't even greeted by front desk staff as we entered the lobby daily and went up to our rooms (not a big deal, but literally no one even looked up from the desk). Such a shame because it's a lovely old home and could be made into something very special. I was embarrassed to have my family stay there, but since we were only there for 3 nights, we muddled through. It was a holiday weekend and most places were completely sold out. I have no idea how people could give this hotel 5 stars.

Lovely historic hotel! Very convenient across from the streetcars. The lobby bar is also a nice touch! Absolutely loved the complimentary breakfast! The decor and ambiance was superb. It’s located right by the Audubon Park - very helpful for active families. We walked through the park on the walking path/jogging track to the Audubon Zoo. The hotel is also within close walking distance to Tulane University. We ate dinner in their cafeteria and even went to a baseball game! Clean rooms. The showers sometimes smell like sewage but hey - that’s probably just New Orleans. They had nice shower amenities (soaps, shower cap, shampoos). They even gave us two free drinks to redeem at the bar.) The breakfast ladies and front desk attendants were very helpful and kind! Highly recommend this hotel and its location! Much to do!

Living in New Orleans we do not have an opportunity to visit the hotels of the area very often. We met friends who were staying here and from their recommendation, the appearance and speaking with the staff, this is a great vintage hotel to stay. It is right on the streetcar lines so is convenient and is adjacent to Audubon Park. A beautiful historic hotel.

Great location if you want to be uptown. Great little patio bar out front and nice complimentary breakfast. The room we had was right next to the dining room and was kind of noisy, and we also heard a lot of noise from upstairs..

Wonderful Bed and Breakfast in the. Garden District. Have stayed several times and will keep going back. The staff is amazing. Incredibly nice and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable. The feel of "old New Orleans." Excellent breakfast. Great location on St Charles. Adjacent to Audubon Park. There is a streetcar stop right across the street.

I have never stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before, but my experience at the Park View was amazing and I certain that I will do a B&B again. And almost certainly at the Park View next time I visit New Orleans. The whole hotel draws you back to early days and has all the charm and romance you would expect from such a distinguished building. We were lucky enough to get one of the best rooms in the house. It had a large bedroom and an attached sitting room as well as a private en suite bathroom. As a special bonus it also offered access to a semi-private (share with one other room) balcony overlooking St Charles where we enjoyed a Central Market muffuletta one evening while watched people and street cars pass by.

This is a gorgeous hotel, in a beautiful neighborhood right by Tulane University. It feels like a travel back in time because of its ornaments and elegance. My favorite time is after sunset when the lights are turned on, the bar opens, and people, some staying, others just gathering here, come to wind down perhaps after work or catch up with old friends with a glass of wine. Beautiful place worth visiting, and for sure, staying at least one night!

I'm not a fan! The only redeeming feature of this hotel is its proximity to Tulane and Audubon Park. You're paying for location, but you will feel as though you are staying at Grandma's house that hasn't been touched in decades. It also seemed as though the rugs haven't been cleaned in years. Our room in particular had scrapes on the walls and a damaged bathroom vanity. The breakfast that was offered was simple, to say the least. Bottom line, I'm not sure I'd stay here again. I'd much rather suffer a longer Uber ride and stay at a hotel that is nicer and cleaner at the same price point.

I visited the Park View Guest House for three nights with a group that booked up the entire Inn except for one room. The Inn was a converted house from the 1800's, so has some quarks but it's just great! The service is fantastic, upon early check in our bags were brought to our room in the third floor. There is no elevator so I was happy I did not have to carry them up! They have a great breakfast, not made to order but delicious hot food options. Around 2:00 they put out wine and beer for you to enjoy as well as snacks and other beverages. Our room was comfortable and had all the amenities you would expect. I really enjoyed walking around the old house and see remained from the 1800's. The Inn is just steps away from the street car and is agency to Audubon Park.

Staying in this charming antebellum house is a real treat. The location is on St. Charles Avenue just across from Tulane University and beside beautiful Audubon Park. It is a gorgeous three story home with well appointed rooms, sitting parlors, and wrap around porches. The staff is friendly and warm. Breakfast is served buffet-style in the sunny dining room each morning with a good selection. Kureg coffee makers are located on each floor. Wine and refreshments are available every afternoon/evening. I especially loved grabbing a glass of wine and sitting on the front porch reading and watching the trolleys go by and walking in the park each day. The Park View Guest House is charming and comfortable. I highly recommend staying there!

The Hotel was Ok .. Room was Clean but the Room clearly needed a update. Hodgepodge of dated hotel furniture..Bathroom shower door wouldn't stay closed when showering, A large crack on the outside wall along the shower was very noticeable, you had to reach under the bathroom vanity cabinet sink to open and close the sink stopper. The Hotel staff were friendly but two were aloof.. I asked for bottled water, but the girl behind the front desk said there was a water dispenser and cups in the dinning room.. I ended up walking to the Walgreens a mile or so on Carrollton Ave to buy a bottle of water.. Every hotel I've stayed at had bottled water,for guests, Ugh.. this is a one time stay for me

Full disclosure - I did not stay here. I was out exploring late with my 6 year old son around the area, when he fell asleep in my arms and I realized my phone battery had died. I came across this place to see if they could order me a cab. The gentleman working the front desk showed me in, allowed me to put my sleeping son on the couch, and ordered me a cab. During the 15 minute wait, he offered all the snacks and refreshments in the kitchen, as well as a bottle of sherry sitting in the main room. I looked around and found the place to be very quaint, and from the common area view, was easily the largest B&B I have ever been in. The gentleman then flagged down the cab as it arrived at the curb, and came and got me and sent me on my way. Awesome service to someone who was not even staying there! Thanks a bunch!

We decided to have a staycation for my birthday weekend and play tourist. We found this place through friends and couldn't have made a better choice. On St. Charles Avenue right across the street from beautiful Audubon Park. Beautifully decorated, our room had antique furniture and surprisingly the bed was incredibly comfortable! Wife and I usually don't sleep well in hotels but we both did this weekend! I got up and ran in the park Saturday, we rode the streetcar up and down St. Charles Avenue and walked to the Audubon Zoo. After dinner we sat on the porch with some friends and a bottle of wine enjoying the beautiful setting. To me, this place really represents New Orleans. The Big East. In the parlor there are cookbooks celebrating our rich culinary history and historical books on our cemeteries and Mardi Gras. The staff was incredible, when they found out it was my birthday we returned to our room to find a complimentary bottle of champagne! They're taking all the recommended Covid precautions. They're perfectly positioned to really play tourist whether you are one or just pretending. Only a few feet from Tulane and Loyola Universities, Holy Name Catholic Church, Audubon Zoo and on the street car line. We will definitely be back!

The website indicates that this is a "beautifully restored" historic inn filled with antiques. The photos on the website are NOT representative of what is really there. I stayed in 3 different rooms over 6 days before and during Thanksgiving and there were major problems with each one. Ripped pillow cases, mattresses that sink in the middle and others that are lumpy, old pillows, hot water took 15 minutes in one room. They say it's antique furniture - naw, it's stuff that is in need of upholstery, clunky and dented - literally a broken table in the "best " room they moved me to. Doors are dirty, walls have scuffs and holes. They need to vacuum in the corners! Not just where it's easy. I really wanted to like this place because it's so near the universities. One of their young staff said they keep a room for Tulane folks. Maybe that room is in good shape, but for us visitors, we are not special. They don't even provide a box of Kleenex. The place is sad, it needs TLC. Btw, when I was there I asked one of the staff to let the owner know that I would like to talk with her/ discuss my stay and she never reached out to me. AND let it be known that they changed the kind of room from what I originally booked in an effort to not have me move rooms during the holiday - I'll give them that for trying. However, the room they moved me to had double beds and literally no room to move around as it was so close to the bathroom wall. Only a tattered chair in a corner. There's a lot about this place that needs improving.

So far it's so beautiful, relaxing and amazing here. Trolly across the street. Can't wait to explore... great happy hour. Friendly front desk Want to stay longer next time

This historic hotel is a real find. It is situated right across the street from Audubon Park, and you can pick up the St. Charles Streetcar just outside the front door. Both Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans are within a 5-minute walk. We stayed in a room on the third floor, and it was very quiet. No street noise. This historic building is charming and Victorian. The rooms are beautifully decorated, yet they have been updated with modern bathroom fixtures, wide-screen TVs, and Wi-Fi. The staff take an interest in their guests. They serve a full breakfast buffet, and they help move bags up and down the stairs (no elevator). There is a full veranda, where you can sip drinks or tea, and watch the world hurry on by.

This is by far the worst bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in! Smelled in the bathroom, moths in the closet, burnt smell permeating through room. Breakfast was disgusting- egg hash was worse than a plate from the freezer section of the grocery store. The sausage and bacon didn't even taste edible. Good thing for the Free bowl of Zappos and lucky charms since food was scarce for the "breakfast"portion. Owners gave really bad excuse emails- refused to speak over the phone upon an unsatisfactory experience. Won't be back ever! Don't waste your money. You can get the ambiance better at another place with a more accommodating host. In the future, the owners should make a phone call to appease the upset guest. After 15 years in hospitality, I wouldn't expect anything less.

All of the reviews are fives and I understand why. The staff is just so kind and accommodating! They really want you to have a great stay! The rooms look as pictured. The house is old but the bathrooms are all modern. The snacks, served all day, are a nice add on. The location is phenomenal beside Audobon park, Tulane and Loyola. The breakfast on Sunday morning was quite nice. I will stay there every time I go to NOLA and it's available. A real gem!

pics...rooms and lobby...in addition to my previous review. Definitely stay here! on the trolley line, directly across from Tulane/Loyola in fashionable Garden Uptown district; only 3-5m to all atrractions via trolley outside. plus Free parking! all others charge c40/nite. adjacent to beautiful Audubon park, golf and zoo. Superb service!

We celebrated our 15th Anniversary in New Orleans & our trip was made perfect with our stay at the Park View. Every aspect was lovely: period furnishings, beautiful room, delicious breakfast, complimentary sherry, wine & refreshments in the afternoon. Lori, Janelle & staff offer expert travel advice, stimulating conversation a d a warm, hearty welcome

My husband and I just wrapped up a fun weekend in New Orleans where we stayed at Park View. The Guest House is in a prime location on St. Charles Avenue and is as wonderful and unique as New Orleans itself!

Excellent service and decor! It was a wonderful location and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. Just a lovely experience- thank you!

I'm surprised to find myself writing the first review of Park View Guest House, a charming bed and breakfast overlooking Audubon Park. I stayed in Room 19, which is probably the best room for a single or double occupancy. Located on the third floor in the front of the house, Room 19 includes a huge private balcony overlooking the streetcars on St. Charles, Audubon Park, and the lovely live oak trees. Two sets of original French doors open onto the balcony. The decor was refined, with a clean white bed and European details like a sitting area and antique wardrobe. The bathroom is clean and has a large clawfoot bathtub. Being near Tulane/Loyola and the Garden District, Park View Guest House truly feels like a New Orleans home. The staff was friendly and generous with information about local sights and events. They have complimentary freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies, popcorn, and wine all day and set out a brandy decanter every evening for a night cap. The breakfast is good and includes hot waffles, fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy, the typical baked goods and cereals, as well as coffee and tea. Again, the sense that you're in a home and not a hotel is a feature here. Of all the sights and experiences in my first trip to the Big Easy, I can say that staying at the Guest House was the most memorable. The hospitality is what makes me want to return there.

The first time I ever came to New Orleans- in order to find living accommodations, and quick!- I stayed at the Park View Guest House. I can't believe that I haven't thought to write a shining new review of it since then! This charming place overlooks Audubon Park and sits on the corner very regally. It is just beautiful, inside and out. As you walk in you are welcomed into a lovely sitting area with locally written books all about New Orleans. The smell of chocolate chip cookies baking will draw you back to the dining room. Each table has a beautiful flower and is elegantly set. Breakfast in the morning includes almost anything you could ever want- including different types of juices, different types of coffees, a waffle machine, fresh fruit, fresh breads, etc. Every afternoon one of Park View's workers makes freshly baked cookies and there is wine, tea, etc. laid out for an afternoon snack. The rooms were gorgeous! Our bed was huge and comfortable. The decorating was impeccable- my own Grammy would've approved. I felt so lucky to have stayed here for my first time to the city! What really made a difference, to me, was the spirit of the staff and the owners. We stopped the staff every day to talk about where to look for an apartment, if they had heard of anyone looking to rent a place, and for suggestions for restaurants. The owner of the Park View actually called a few of her own personal contacts, gave me her personal number, and took time out of her schedule every day to check-in and see how we are doing. That is customer service. They really take care of you here. I would suggest that anyone visiting the Crescent City stay here and enjoy themselves. Let the warm and welcoming attitude of the staff and the luxurious accommodations help you enjoy your stay in New Orleans.

Home away from home when parents are visiting cherubs at Tulane or Loyola. The location is anchored just off Audubon Park and has a convenient stop for the St Charles Streetcar. Life simply doesn't get much better.

This is a stunning building. The decorations are beautiful and it is extremely well kept. There are free snacks and drinks available in the dining area throughout the day and all three of the desk workers we came across were very helpful and friendly. It's pricey but I would recommend this guest house to anyone staying in Uptown New Orleans, especially parents visiting Tulane or Loyola students! Campus is only a block or two away. Five stars for this one.

I've been coming to Nola for less than a year, since my daughter became a freshman at Tulane. We'd typically stay downtown (NOT in the FQ) but this time I came by myself to help her move out for summer. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful - I was checked in by Richard, who took my bags up to the third floor! The two other ladies (Christa and...I'm blanking on her name) were so accommodating when we left our 5 suitcases there in the lobby because our flight was later that night. Breakfast was delicious and it was so nice to have tea and a snack available throughout the day. Since it's a pretty residential area, the only places that are walking distance are on the TU or Loyola campus. I loved being right next to Audubon Park, which I have never explored before this trip. I stayed in a front room, which is closest to the streetcar line so - there was some noise from it, but its' not extremely loud. I didn't realize the St. Charles line runs 24x7 but, I know now and I'll request a room closer to the back when I return. The room was nice, clean...the mattress was a little squeaky but the bed was good. All in all - a great two nights and I'll plan to visit on my next trip.

One of the most beautiful places I've stayed in the United States.Furnished with antiques, but still providing state-of-the art modern comfort,each room is has its own distinct style. Gracious service, fabulous views of Audubon Park and St Charles.The street car is just a few steps away.. A very pleasant place to stay.

Nice B&B right on the corner of Audubon Park across from Tulane and Loyola. Also right on the St Charles trolley line, which goes straight into the French Quarter. We stayed in room E, which was very private and quiet (if you stay in this room the outlet in the bathroom is behind the mirror). The staff was great. They even arranged a cab for us back to the airport that was ready and waiting when we left at 6:30am. They have a flat rate to the airport of only $36. The breakfasts were very good, but the pastries and stuff looked store bought and it was the same stuff 3 days in a row. They ran out of most of the fruit while we were there too, which was disappointing. However, they do give you free wine! Overall, we'd stay there again.

We stayed here over Christmas 2010, we wanted to stay somewhere more homey and personal which we got at Park View. The rooms were very nice, the breakfasts were good, and the location is wonderful next to the Audubon park. The house construction is also very nice, considering the house was almost full we did not hear our neighbors and the house was surprisingly quiet. In the evenings they provide wine and cookies which is a nice touch. The front desk staff were very helpful in making dinner reservations for us on short notice. The new owners are very nice as well.

Beautiful and very comfortable place to stay for our brief time in New Orleans. Right next to Audubon park, in walking distance of excellent food, lovely hot breakfast in the morning, and very cozy lodging.

we love the Park View and stay there 3 to 4 times a year even though we have tons of Marriott points in which to stay for free.. Staff is great and very helpful, its quiet, spacious clean rooms and they give you snacks, wine and a delicious breakfast! Location is perfect if you want to stay uptown

We are repeat customers and couldn't imagine a better, more welcoming, comfortable place to stay. We have a little one, and room 7 is the place for us. Having the park and the ZOO right off the side porch is perfect for the little one and the kid in us. And the streetcar stop convenience is perfect. All the staff treats us like family. Don't bother looking at other b&b's.
