Why we recommend it
Hotel Provincial has been owned by a local New Orleans family since 1961. It is spread across five restored buildings on Chartres Street in the French Quarter, and these buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so the hotel is arranged around courtyards rather than in a single block.
Rooms come in several types, including standard and premium kings, petite and deluxe suites, rooms with balconies and accessible rooms. Balcony rooms are worth asking for if you want to watch the street below. The courtyards are a large part of the hotel's appeal, and one of them has a pool, which is especially welcome in summer.
On site, the Ice House Bar is known for its Hurricane cocktail, which the hotel says many consider the best in the city, and the French Toast restaurant on site is popular with locals as well as visitors. The hotel offers secure parking, a real advantage in the French Quarter, along with free Wi-Fi and a business centre. Private event spaces, including Honfleur, hold up to 100 guests.
The Provincial suits couples, families and travellers who want a characterful French Quarter base without luxury prices. Booking direct by phone or on the website lets you discuss which room type suits you best.
The hotel's mix of room types is one of its strengths: balcony rooms suit couples who want to watch French Quarter life, while suites give families more space. Ask the hotel about parking arrangements when you book, as spaces in the Quarter are limited. The courtyard pool is a calm place to cool off after a hot morning's sightseeing, and the Ice House Bar is a convenient spot for a first drink before heading out to dinner. Event planners can use the Honfleur space for gatherings of up to 100 guests. Reservations can also be made on the toll-free number listed on the website.
The hotel is steps from Jackson Square, the French Market, Bourbon Street and many restaurants and attractions. Walking is the easiest way to explore from here, and the Faubourg Marigny, with the music clubs of Frenchmen Street, lies just downriver of the Quarter.
