Maison Pierre Lafitte

Historic Charm Just Off Bourbon Street

Maison Pierre Lafitte is a charming, historic property in the heart of New Orleans, just a short stroll from the energy of Bourbon Street and some of the city’s biggest concert venues. With a vintage exterior and cozy, apartment-style rooms, this self-catering hotel blends old-world character with modern comforts like free WiFi and flat-screen TVs. Each unit features a microwave, refrigerator, stovetop, coffee maker, and toaster—perfect for late-night snacks or early-morning fuel.

Why Concert-goers love it

This location is a dream for music lovers: less than 10 minutes on foot from major venues like the Superdome and the heart of the French Quarter. After the show, it's easy to walk home—no need to wait for rideshares or navigate transit. The hotel is tucked just far enough from Bourbon Street to offer a quieter night’s sleep, and the shared balconies are a great spot to unwind post-gig. While check-in starts at 4:00 p.m., those arriving early can often store bags and explore.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a central base with space to hang out
• Solo travelers catching a legendary act in the Big Easy
• Couples combining concerts with a romantic weekend
• Fans needing a quieter space to decompress after a loud night
• Budget-conscious travelers who want to be near the action without overspending

Food and Drink Options

While Maison Pierre Lafitte doesn't have a full-service restaurant, having a kitchenette in every room means late-night cravings are easily handled. There’s also an on-site bar for a pre-show drink or nightcap. Step outside and you’ll find plenty of walkable eateries, including 24-hour diners and classic New Orleans spots. Coffee lovers and brunch seekers will appreciate nearby cafes offering late breakfast options.

Nightlife Options

With Bourbon Street just a few blocks away, you're surrounded by live music, jazz lounges, dive bars, and dance clubs. If you prefer something more laid-back, the hotel's own bar offers a cozy option to sip a cocktail and chat with fellow travelers.

What People Say

Guests love the location—close to everything but not too loud. Many highlight the spacious rooms, kitchenettes, and the unique character of the building. The balconies and common areas are frequent favorites for relaxing after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

The check-out time of 10:00 a.m. is a bit early, especially after a late concert night, and there’s no daily housekeeping, which some guests miss. Since it’s a smaller property, there’s no elevator—so pack light if you’re on an upper floor.

The Bottom Line

Maison Pierre Lafitte is a perfect pick for concert-goers wanting walkability, charm, and comfort just steps from New Orleans’ legendary music scene.
