Beautiful hotel, in a desirable location. It’s close to the action, but far away enough to avoid the excessive noise the French quarter can cause. The hotel itself is stylish and well-maintained. The restaurants inside it are also wonderful for a quick bite. We would love to stay again next time we’re in the area!

Our room was not ready upon check in time. We waited an hour for our reservation in the lobby during the busiest holiday of the year. Their front door makes an awful sound every time it closed. Our room 403 made an awful knocking sound all day, all night. The first night was rough sleeping. The next evening I reported the problem and was told they would send someone to fix it. That never happened. So I requested a different room at midnight which they had available. Thankfully. When we were able to park our vehicle with the hotel their automatic system via phone did not work. We waited 1.5 hours for our car. Then when we left to return home at 4:30 am we were told there is no valet service and needed to retrieve our vehicle and had to search for it in the parking garage. All these frustrations are preventable through proper management and maintenance of property. Disappointing.

THE BEST HOTEL IN NEW ORLEANS!

Not only was i able to reserve my room without paying upfront, we were greeted with the warmest welcome from Semaj at the front desk with treats and free passes to get on the street car. He was the ABSOLUTE best, and i pray they keep him around and give him a raise! The kimpton was right on the parade route, so all we had to do was walk right outside to enjoy all of the festivities. Each day there was something new and exciting for us and we were also able to wxtend out checkout for our latw flight! The Kimpton has absolutely become our favorite hotel, and we won't be staying ANYWHERE ELSE!

Our room 1513 was what was promised: a corner room with a beautiful view of the river. It was clean and comfortable. Every staff member was polite and helpful. Two breakfasts, a social hour visit, and a late night cocktail were fun and delicious.
