Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and Selina Catahoula delivers. You’re less than half a mile from major music venues and nightlife, yet the hotel offers a surprisingly peaceful sleep experience for being so central.

Food and Drink Options

Selina Catahoula has an on-site restaurant serving up tasty local fare, and the rooftop bar is a favorite for pre-show cocktails or unwinding after a gig. While there’s no 24-hour room service, you’re in the heart of the city — with plenty of walkable late-night food options nearby. Breakfast is available, perfect for those slow, post-concert mornings.

Nightlife Options

If you're not ready to turn in after the encore, the hotel’s rooftop bar offers a chic setting with city views and great drinks. Bourbon Street’s endless options for bars, jazz clubs, and lounges are just a few blocks away, making it easy to keep the party going.

What People Say

Reviewers love the hotel’s unique design, friendly staff, and unbeatable location. Many guests mention how close it is to music venues and the French Quarter, yet still feels tucked away. The rooftop bar gets consistent praise, and the overall vibe is described as “relaxed but hip.”

Areas for Improvement

The minimalist rooms, while stylish, can feel a bit small for travelers with lots of gear — so pack light if you can. Some guests have noted that sound travels in the hallways, though earplugs are always a good concert-goer’s companion anyway.

The Bottom Line

For music fans wanting a stylish, central, and affordable stay near New Orleans’ best venues, Selina Catahoula New Orleans hits the right note.
