I couldn't speak more highly of the Historic Frenchmen Hotel. My wife and I were told by our friend who has lived in New Orleans that Frenchmen St is where the locals go to hang out because it is just close enough to the nightlife of The French Quarter, while still far away enough from the touristy onslaught of Bourbon...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay during Jazz Fest. Our suite/apt was comfortable and roomy with kitchen, living/dining area and bedroom. Loved the pool/hot tub/courtyard area and the sundeck near our room. Enjoyed sitting on our balcony on Frenchmen St listening to music anytime of the day or night. Also, enjoyed the live music all along Frenchmen Street. Parking was easy... More

Thank you for sharing your experience with us and others on Tripadvisor. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. It's always great to sit out on the balcony and listen to the tasteful music out on your balcony. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future! Thank You, Kenesha Green More

We booked this hotel to be close the the music venues on Frenchmen Street, and asked to be located towards the back of the hotel as other reviews indicated that it was quieter toward the back. As with another reviewer, we arrived to have our room assignments changed even thought we too had booked in January. I have to say... More

While I have been to NOLA numerous times, this time brought my daughter and wanted her to really experience the French Quarter. The Frenchmen hotel lived up to it's promises in every way. Checked in early and while the room was not ready, no problem, left our bags downstairs and went exploring. Walked to Treme and caught the start of... More

I reserved room 108, for it's quiet location, on January 19th. My husband and I drove from Texas, to check in and be told we had been "upgraded" to room 204, which looked out onto Frenchmen Street and all the bars.....

Thanks to Kenesha and Alba, making me feel at home after a perfect 10 day stay. Saw and heard Warren Battiste, Charmaine Neville, Delfeayo Marseilles, Davel Crawford, & Spencer Bohren. Snug Harbor! The Old Mint, Congo Square, French Market! Music/food festivals. Absolutely the best location in New Orleans.

This is a great place to stay if you want to be close to the jazz scene...close enough that you can still hear it when you go to sleep for the night. This is not a place to stay if you are a person who needs total quiet for some shut eye or if you need a lot of space.... More

It's so nice of you to take the time to comment. We do appreciate it. The Jazz is the draw and we do have it. It is, as you point, though, ubiquitous. We do have rooms at the back of the property that are insulated by the surrounding buildings and the sound of running water. We hope to see you... More

My husband and I were in town for a convention at the end of the week, but came for the whole week. We are over 40 and didn't want to stay on Bourbon Street. The Frenchmen is right on Frenchmen Street which had tons of live music, jazz and blues, all evening and night, 7 days a week! Most places... More

We stayed at the Frenchmen for five nights and loved it. This place is for people who don't want to stay in a hotel that can be found anywhere in the world, but who want to stay somewhere that is quintessentially New Orleans. Old home with gorgeous architecture; lovely courtyard; kind staff who obviously love the city. Sure the room... More
