The Spotlight on Bourbon Orleans Hotel

Historic Elegance in the Heart of the French Quarter

Modern comfort meets classic New Orleans charm at the Bourbon Orleans Hotel, nestled right in the French Quarter. With its stylish, French-inspired decor and unbeatable location, this hotel blends Southern hospitality with a lively vibe that's perfect for music lovers. You're steps away from iconic landmarks like Jackson Square and St. Louis Cathedral—and just a short stroll to many of the city’s top music venues.

Rooms are cozy yet upscale, featuring flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, in-room coffee machines, and complimentary bottled water. Some even offer private balconies—ideal for soaking in the soul of the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything when you're chasing live music, and this hotel delivers. You're within walking distance to major venues and just minutes from the Riverwalk and Superdome. The noise level is surprisingly mellow for a French Quarter stay, letting you recover comfortably after a night out. With a 4:00 PM check-in and 12:00 PM checkout, there’s enough flexibility to work around early arrivals or late-night shows.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore the music and nightlife scene together
  • Solo travelers heading to see a bucket-list performance
  • Couples seeking a romantic and fun-filled weekend escape
  • Fans who want a quieter, more refined place to wind down post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want location without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel features an on-site restaurant for convenient dining, and room service is available if you’re winding down after a late set. While there’s no 24/7 dining, the French Quarter is packed with walkable eateries offering everything from po’boys to beignets, many open late. Wake up slowly with a relaxed breakfast—options nearby cater to late risers.

Nightlife Options

The hotel’s on-site bar hosts live jazz music on select nights, giving you a taste of New Orleans without leaving the lobby. Plus, you’re a stone’s throw from Bourbon Street, where bars, lounges, and live music venues offer entertainment into the early hours. Prefer a more laid-back scene? The hotel bar also serves local craft cocktails in a more relaxed setting.

What People Say

Guests rave about the amazing location and historic atmosphere, saying it puts them right in the heart of the action without sacrificing comfort. Many comment on the friendly staff, the clean, well-maintained rooms, and the overall romantic vibe of the building. It’s a favorite for those wanting to walk to everything and still sleep soundly.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that being in the French Quarter means a bit of street noise during peak hours—bring earplugs just in case. Others note that while the hotel is full of charm, some rooms could use a minor refresh. But overall, these are small trade-offs for the unbeatable location.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to New Orleans for the music, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel offers a stylish, central, and soulful stay that hits all the right notes.

Not as pictured

Liked: The pool, the coffee bar, the location
Disliked: The room I selected had a picture of a balcony overlooking the St. Louis Cathedral on Orleans Ave. That is the reason I was willing to pay so much for the room. Instead they stuck us on another street entirely (St. Anne). There was construction adjacent to the balcony and a huge dumpster underneath. Not worth the price. They should not have a picture of something specific if that is not what they are providing. Not good when the first thing you experience is disappointment.
