Still a great place to spend a weekend

I’ve wanted to stay at Le Richelieu for 30 years, when I lived in New Orleans. It’s not the jewel it once was, but for our stay it was perfect. The staff was friendly and efficient. Sadly, the beautiful bar is no longer open. The coffee was really bad. But a bucket list item was experienced and we had a grand time!

Great location and a pool

What a lovely hotel, the rooms were large and comfortable, the building is old and grand, just like the rest of the French Quarter! The pool is a great bonus! And the location is perfect.

Very clean and nice staff. Liked the digital keys and that they locked the front door at night. Felt safe and secure. Wished the bar was open at the time we were there, but it was under renovations so that's not a knock on the hotel. Liked how it was in the French Quarter and walking distance to everything. Definitely would stay there again.

I’m a solo female traveler, this is the second time I’ve stayed here this year. this was a safe walkable location to the French quarter and marginy. The rooms are simple and very clean. The bed is very comfortable, staff was always present at the desk at all hours I was coming and going. The pool is a nice amenity, and I was excited for the tiny fridge in the room. Having digital keys was a nice option as well. The cleaning team although quick and efficient but a little loud in the morning would be my only criticism.
