We had such a wonderful stay at the Pontchartrain Hotel in New Orleans! From the moment we arrived, the valet staff set the tone—they were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and so quick to help. The front desk staff was just as kind, making check-in smooth and easy. The real standout was the restaurant team, who went above and beyond to make our family (especially our little girls) feel cared for. The service was thoughtful, and the food was excellent—the famous Mile High Pie is an absolute must-try! The hotel itself is beautiful, in a lovely area where we felt safe walking around. The room was comfortable and well-appointed, with one of the best showers and bathrooms we’ve ever had in a hotel, and the beds were wonderfully cozy after a long day of exploring

We really enjoyed the downstairs piano bar and the staff were very nice. The bed was comfy, however, they gave us a handicapped room when we didn’t need it (I couldn’t hang my dresses high enough so they wouldn’t hit the floor) and the shower flooded the bathroom. I’ve stayed in the Pontchartrain before, and the regular room that I had then was much better than this one.
