We have stayed here several times over the past 25 years, from a couple nights on our honeymoon to just having celebrated our 25th anniversary there. I wish I could give a bad review just so it doesn't get more popular, but this property is truly a gem. I don't think I have ever left a hotel review before, but the staff at the Place d'Armes are so great and the setting so perfect I feel compelled to.
Have always had friendly service and a wonderful stay. The courtyard is a magical oasis when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the quarter. Walk half block to the St. Louis Cathedral (Mass is at 12:05, and you could leave your room at 12 and make it) & Jackson Square, a block and a half to Cafe du Monde or the middle of Burbon Street, two and a half blocks to Pat O Brien's. I stayed at a large hotel on Canal once for a conference. That other hotel on Canal was a decent walk to all our favorite haunts, and it lacked any of the charm of the quarter (I felt like I could have been in any big hotel in any major US city).
I'm sure there are other locations in the quarter that are similar, and depending on your interests might be slightly closer to them, but as long as the Place d'Armes is there, it's where I will stay. Always. Thank you all for another wonderful stay!
