The Spotlight on The Pontchartrain Hotel

Vintage Charm Meets Rooftop Views in the Garden District

Modern comfort blended with timeless Southern style, The Pontchartrain Hotel is a beautifully restored classic located in New Orleans' historic Garden District. Just a short streetcar ride from major concert venues and nightlife hubs, this hotel offers a boutique, laid-back vibe with a touch of old-school glamour.
With free WiFi, plush rooms, and a rooftop bar boasting panoramic city views, it's an ideal base for music fans exploring New Orleans' legendary music scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of the biggest perks is the streetcar stop right outside the front door, making late-night returns a breeze. You're just minutes by car or transit from the Superdome and other top venues. After the show, unwind at the relaxed rooftop bar or your cozy room—many with quiet garden views perfect for recharging. With 12:00 PM checkout, you don't need to rush out the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun but comfortable base
  • Solo travelers catching a must-see act and wanting somewhere stylish but safe
  • Couples making it a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans seeking a peaceful night after the noise of the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a touch of class

Food and Drink Options

  • Bayou Bar – perfect for a nightcap or early drinks before heading out
  • Hot Tin Rooftop Bar – stunning city views and creative cocktails
  • Jack Rose Restaurant – a lively, eclectic dinner spot on-site
  • Silver Whistle Café – grab a late breakfast or casual lunch after a late night
  • Room service is available, though not 24/7

Nightlife Options

  • Hot Tin often draws a fun local crowd and offers a relaxed rooftop vibe
  • You're just a short ride to the buzzing night scene of the French Quarter and live music halls
  • Bayou Bar downstairs often hosts live jazz and is a low-key gem

What People Say

  • “Incredible character and charm” – guests love the vintage décor and unique atmosphere
  • “Perfect location” – the streetcar access is a consistent highlight
  • “Rooftop bar is a must” – many say it’s one of the best views in the city
  • “Comfy rooms with personality” – not your average hotel chain vibe

Areas for Improvement

  • Some guests note that the historic building means thinner walls—bring earplugs just in case
  • No on-site gym, so fitness buffs may need to walk or jog outside
  • Limited parking, so plan ahead if you're driving

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to New Orleans for a concert, The Pontchartrain Hotel delivers vintage character, rooftop cocktails, and easy access to all the music without sacrificing peace and comfort.
