Stay in Classic New Orleans Style, Just Steps from the Music

Lamothe House Hotel blends 19th-century charm with modern comforts in the heart of New Orleans’ Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. Located on historic Esplanade Avenue and adjacent to the French Quarter, this beautifully restored property offers a truly local experience, complete with antique furnishings, a tranquil garden courtyard, and a refreshing outdoor pool.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just minutes—literally—from some of New Orleans’ best live music venues. Walk five minutes to Frenchmen Street, or take a quick stroll to Bourbon Street. After the show, return to a peaceful room tucked behind a gated courtyard, where the city’s energy fades just enough to let you recharge. With 24-hour concierge service and luggage storage, it’s easy to explore late or check in after a night out. The hotel’s classic New Orleans vibe makes for a memorable stay, even when the music stops.

Food and Drink Options

While Lamothe House doesn’t offer on-site dining, you’re surrounded by authentic local eats. Grab late-night bites on Frenchmen Street or explore the French Market’s casual options. Many nearby cafes serve breakfast well into the afternoon, perfect after a night of shows. Plus, room amenities like cable TV and cozy beds make it easy to snack and relax in your room.

Nightlife Options

Step outside and you’re in one of New Orleans’ richest live music zones. Frenchmen Street is packed with jazz clubs, dive bars, and lounges—ideal for spontaneous nights out. Prefer something low-key? The hotel’s courtyard and garden pond offer a chill space to wind down with a drink from a nearby bar.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s historic charm and say it “feels like stepping into old New Orleans.” Many praise the location for being close to action but still quiet enough for a good night’s sleep. The pool and courtyard are frequent highlights, as is the warm and helpful staff.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the older building means quirky layouts or smaller bathrooms, and street-facing rooms can catch a bit of city noise. But most agree the charm and location make up for it—just pack some earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want to be near the music but stay somewhere with soul, Lamothe House Hotel is a perfect mix of location, character, and comfort.
