The Spotlight on Historic Streetcar Inn

Charming Boutique Stay Steps from New Orleans Sounds

Located just a mile from both the buzzing French Quarter and the iconic Mercedes-Benz Superdome, the Historic Streetcar Inn blends classic New Orleans charm with modern comfort. Nestled along the scenic St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, this boutique hotel offers a character-rich stay with cozy, nonsmoking rooms, a shaded courtyard, and a welcoming, laid-back vibe.

Each room features a private bathroom, cable TV, and essential amenities like ironing facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi, perfect for a restful night after a high-energy show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything—and the Historic Streetcar Inn puts you close to the action. You're just a short ride or even a walk from major venues like the Superdome and countless French Quarter music spots. The late 4:00 PM check-in and relaxed 12:00 PM checkout give you flexibility for post-concert recovery. Plus, the area is well-connected by public transit, including the historic streetcar line right outside the door. The peaceful atmosphere and courtyard make it a great spot to unwind after a loud night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to explore the local music scene
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
- Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
- Fans wanting an affordable, quiet retreat post-show
- Budget-conscious travelers who still enjoy charm and character

Food and Drink Options

While there's no on-site restaurant, guests enjoy complimentary coffee and tea daily and a charming courtyard to start the morning. The hotel is within easy walking distance of local cafes, diners, and late-night eateries, perfect for grabbing a bite after a concert. Plenty of nearby spots serve brunch and breakfast late, so you can sleep in and still fuel up.

Nightlife Options

Explore countless bars and jazz lounges just minutes away in the French Quarter or along nearby Magazine Street. While the hotel itself is low-key, you're never far from New Orleans' legendary nightlife. Whether you're into dive bars, craft cocktails, or live music, you'll find it close by.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel's location, vintage vibe, and friendly staff. The courtyard is a favorite for morning coffee or evening wind-downs. Reviewers also frequently mention the value for money and proximity to the French Quarter without the noise and hustle.

Areas for Improvement

The building is older, so some guests mention quirky layouts and thin walls. There’s no elevator, so if stairs are a concern, request a lower-level room. Still, most see this as part of the hotel’s vintage charm.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert in New Orleans and want a budget-friendly, charming stay close to the music—the Historic Streetcar Inn hits all the right notes.

Simply breathtaking! ♡

Liked: I can not put into words how amazing this hotel is, and I will be going back again. It was so clean, very welcoming, the patio was very beautiful. The room was extremely comfortable, and the woman (i feel horrible i dont remember her name), but she is the most kindest person I've ever met. I HIGHLY recommend anyone who visits New Orleans to book your stay at the Historic Streetcar Inn. You would not be disappointed!

Great location

Liked: Spacious room. Comfy bed. Great location.

For a few nights in...

Liked: Loved the location- walkable to many restaurants, breakfast, bars, Walgreens . Love the price. Love the “Inn” atmosphere. Loved having the courtyard available for the family to gather. Loved the staff- very friendly.
Disliked: Our room was small, wasn’t super clean and had a musty smell. There were no extra towels. Oddly, the courtyard was so nice, but did not have working umbrellas at the tables and the plants needed weeding.
