Marsh Hotel

The property is very interesting. The cute bar also serves as hotel reception. The beds were very comfortable. They gave us two coupons to be used for two libations gratis at the bar. They have a cute outdoor area with tables and wicker swings. The shower had good pressure.

This swanky little boutique-style hotel is located a stone's throw away from all of the action in New Orleans-and that's a good thing. Quiet, reserved, and most definitely relaxing, because the Marsh Hotel is situated away from the busy nightlife of the French Quarter (while still being a short, 10-12mins drive from it), I felt I could sleep better and enjoy some downtime. The option to check in and download your room key via an app had to be one of the greatest perks of the stay-because I travel with work and often don't arrive at my hotels for my time off until late, late in the evening (or in the earliest morning hours), I was still able to head straight to my room, no after hours hassle required. Love this. I did not need to interact with the front desk staff, but they were always friendly when we crossed paths. The beds are so comfortable, I extended my stay another evening, just so I would not have to leave that bed. There are so many wonderful things I could say about this space, but honestly, the cozy quiet was my favorite.

Surprisingly a very modern and upscale hotel. As you first walk in, there is a somewhat enclosed sitting area that is mostly covered for optimal shade. There are enough relaxing corners to choose from with hanging chairs and easy casual sitting groups. The hotel has 3 floors but no elevator so be aware of that when booking. The rooms are minimalist design so airy and free of clutter. The bathrooms are no nonsense as well. Contrary to the belief of many that we spoke to, the neighborhood may have some poor corners but for the most part, the small victorian style homes are slowly being renovated and restored with alot of love and patience. The hotel has a very nice cafe and bar that is frequented by the locals. A great atmosphere for good and lively conversation. The manager of the hotel, Joseph, is unbelievably friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a really good cup of coffee or espresso (and I mean European style) this is the cafe to visit but ask Joseph to make it. He seems to have the „Midas Touch“ with the fancy italian coffee machine. Thank you Joseph for sharing some of your time during breakfast. You made our stay that much better.

Nicely decorated and appointed room. Cafe/bar downstairs and lovely patio. Located in quiet garden/uptown district with easy access (2 blocks) to the streetcar which took you to downtown/french quarter.

This hotel was extremely comfortable, clean, and the bed was better than my own at home. The check in experience was a breeze, and I was in my room in under 5 minutes. I felt the security of the hotel was tip top, and the cafe downstairs was adorable. But seriously, the best part of the stay was that bed. Turn the AC down and make it cold and find the "fireplace" screen on the TV-best sleep of your life.
