The Brakeman Hotel

Historic Vibes and Modern Comfort in the Heart of Treme

The Brakeman Hotel offers a unique stay in the culturally rich Treme district of New Orleans. This 3-star hotel blends local heritage with modern comforts, offering a cozy and convenient base for music lovers. Just over a mile from major hotspots like Caesars Superdome and Union Station, it’s a stylish, low-key pick that keeps you close to the action without the crowds.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its location in the Treme means you're just a short ride—or even walk—from many of New Orleans’ top music venues. After a late show, the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins easy, and the peaceful atmosphere offers a quieter place to crash after the buzz of a concert. Private parking is available, which is a bonus if you’re driving in for a show.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a casual, music-filled weekend
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list band in the city
• Couples seeking a romantic music getaway
• Fans who want a quieter recovery spot after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and style

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn't have an on-site restaurant, each room includes a mini fridge for late-night snacks. You're in a prime spot to explore Treme and the French Quarter’s endless food scene—many eateries within walking distance stay open late. For morning recovery, nearby cafés offer easy breakfast options after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

You're steps from some of the most iconic music spots in the country. From jazz lounges to dive bars with live DJs, the surrounding area is packed with options. While The Brakeman doesn’t host live music itself, it offers a great jumping-off point to explore the city’s legendary nightlife.

What People Say

Travelers love the hotel’s authentic New Orleans vibe, clean and spacious rooms, and friendly staff. Many guests highlight the quiet at night despite its central location, and the ease of walking or catching a quick ride to concerts and festivals.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t have a full restaurant or bar on-site, so if you're looking for all-night room service or a pre-show cocktail in the lobby, you’ll need to venture out. Also, parking is on the pricier side, so budget for that if you're driving.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to New Orleans for the music and want a comfortable, quiet, and well-located place to stay, The Brakeman Hotel hits the right notes.
