Why we recommend it
Hotel Peter and Paul is one of the most distinctive places to stay in New Orleans. The hotel occupies a former parish complex in the Faubourg Marigny: a historic church, schoolhouse, rectory and convent, restored and reborn as a 71-room hotel that keeps much of its old New Orleans character. It is operated by the hotel group ASH.
The hotel is filled with a collection of art and antiques. The former church is now used for events, weddings, live music and other programming, so check what is on during your stay. In warmer weather the heated outdoor pool, the Marigny Lido, with cabanas, a lounge and a pool bar serving seasonal cocktails and light bites, is a welcome retreat.
The Elysian Bar is the hotel's all-day restaurant and bar, open daily and cooking with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. A room service menu called Brioche in Bed brings breakfast to your room. Practical touches include a 24-hour front desk, a concierge to help with tours and tickets, flower delivery, Wi-Fi, and parking with electric car charging.
The hotel suits couples, design lovers and music fans who want a quieter base close to the action. It is a few blocks from Frenchmen Street and its clubs, so you can walk to live music in the evening and back again without a taxi. The hotel also hosts weddings and private events.
The setting is the main reason to choose this hotel: the old church and school buildings, the antiques and the courtyard atmosphere feel very different from a modern city-centre hotel. The concierge can arrange tours and tickets, and the Elysian Bar is a good place for breakfast or a relaxed dinner before an evening of music nearby. With 71 rooms it is a small hotel, and the front desk is staffed around the clock.
The French Quarter, Jackson Square and St Louis Cathedral are a few blocks away, so most of the old city is within walking distance. Book directly through the hotel's website, where room types and current offers are listed. If you are visiting for Mardi Gras or Jazz Fest, reserve well in advance.
