    Living area

    After a lousy stay at the Beau Rivage (a MGM property) in Biloxi, I had an even worse experience at the Intercontinental in New Orleans (a IHG property). The stay started out well. The suite I was in had two full baths, a large bedroom, and a living area. In addition, I was contacted by staff to see if there was anything I needed. However, at departure, I found out I would not receive a complimentary weekend night as planned. I signed up for the IHG Ambassador program that includes one free comp weekend night a year. I called the Ambassador number b4 signing up, bc I had questions about the program. The person I spoke to said, after I sign up for the program; all I have to do is book a weekend stay. The hotel would provide me a credit on site. The credit was not on my bill, so I spoke to Mark. Mark spoke to a higher up named Matt who said I will not receive a comp night this trip. They said I had to do something special at booking to obtain the comp weekend night. His response is totally contrary to what the person told me from the Ambassador program. Its not my job to navigate what Corporate sez vs what local hotels believe is the correct way to do things. I will dispute the one night stay with my credit card company, and contact Corporate IHG to obtain a credit, or a full refund of my Ambassador fee. The local management's actions are not the way to instill loyalty in the IHG program.

    We recently had a 4-night stay at InterContinental New Orleans and left feeling a lot to be desired. The property does not live up to the InterContinental brand name, and quite honestly we've had nicer stays at Holiday Inn Express. Immediately upon check-in, we noticed our room reeked of cigarette smoke. Odd for a smoke-free hotel, but guests don't always follow the rules. However, for housekeeping to turn over the room after the previous guests and call it "good" was baffling to us. We requested a new room via text exchange, and were told it was not possible due to occupancy. The hotel was navigating a wedding, cheerleading competition, and cruise ship guests... but, after spending one night in the room and waking up with a headache from the smell, we were ready to find a new hotel. We plead our case at the front desk later in the day, and somehow they found a new room for us on Day 2. Our stay came with buffet breakfast everyday due to my partner's IHG Diamond Elite status, and the Pete's staff was exceptional. There was a nice spread, but the highlight was the chef on duty to hand-craft omelettes or scrambles just the way you like it. He was such a gem, and so fun to talk with each morning. We also did happy hour in Pete's one evening, and the charcuterie platter for ~$20 was impressive and delicious! It's also the only picture I managed to snag :) It really seems like InterContinental New Orleans has seen its heyday, and it's behind us. The ornate lobby decor does not align with the tired guest rooms, and there's no club lounge, for those who may be expecting one. I think the most disappointing aspect of our stay was the lip-service apology about our first room reeking of cigarette smoke. After a long day of travel, we didn't have the energy to put up a fight or find new accommodations... but we shouldn't have had to in the first place.

    If InterContinental is the Flagship of IHG, then they need to find a better boat. I chose this property because I wanted to stay somewhere nice. We had previously stayed at the Kimpton a few blocks away, and decided to try the Flagship brand, which turned out to be a big dinghy. . The service was lacking. There were a few different doormen near the entrance and throughout the entire trip, I don't think anyone ever greeted or acknowledged us walking it. Most of the time, they were talking to each other. Not a big deal, but why even have them there. While they had great, firm pillows, the bed itself was also way too firm to the point of waking up sore... and not from an extra fun night! ;) The quality of sleep was one of the worst I've had at a hotel. I did notify the front desk after they asked me to rate my stay and they offered to put a "topper" or something on, but I knew that would do very little. I give them credit for the offer though. The shower/tub was outdated and not what I'd expect from a flagship property. I get that this was probably a nice hotel "in the day", but compared to other InterContinentals and Kimpton's, this just didn't wow me. The soap and toiletries were nice though. Smelly in a good way! Everything was frustrating... the TV controller sucked and you had to press the buttons super hard to get it to do anything. There was no mini-fridge, just an honor bar with no prices listed for anything. The towels were small and not plush at all (I've had better at a Holiday Inn Express). Finally, with a late checkout, coming back from brunch and walking the extended walk to the room, the key didn't work! UGH! F' your system that "automatically" disables the key after 11a. My checkout was 2p! The location was convenient to the French Quarter, and it was far enough away to be somewhat quiet. But I'd probably give the Hotel Indigo a try (about a block away) or go back to the Kimpton next time. I don't plan on returning here.

    Even though my room was outdated for the most part I enjoyed my stay. I'm subtracting a star for the simple reason that there isn't an empty fridge in the room. There is a fridge stocked with drinks for purchase. I needed a fridge to store my own drinks and food. The location of the hotel is only minutes from the French Quarter. I liked the food at the hotel. The chicken salad and pecan pie were superb. It's a good place to hold a conference.

    While this InterContinental was convenient to the French Quarter I found it to not be updated or to the level of their properties in other cities.That being said, the room was nice with a huge balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The daily complimentary breakfast was amazing!! I loved the made to order omelets, fresh fruit, beignets, assorted pastries etc. We also received drink vouchers for the bar each day, I would stay here again on another visit to New Orleans.

    You what I'm going to give this stay 5 stars. The hotel was very clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic! Upon arrival the front desk person bit sure his name, he was fantastic and got me some excited for my stay. He also gave me a few waters and free drink coupons. The lobby is nice and the concierge is nice to have. Upon arrival to my room I was very happy with how everything looked. Room was very clean, had several pillows, a good view, and nice amenities. Hotel staff was very attentive whenever we need anything and I really enjoyed the rooftop pool. Overall the stay was very comfortable and really had no complaints. The drinks at the hotel bar was a really nice perk and they were really delicious. There was a mini bar- but, I did not need to use it. The only odd thing was that the hotel put on a fall festival, however, everything cost to participate. We were on our way out so we didn't really check it out much.

    After realizing that my conference was here I was sad to see all of the negative reviews, but pleased to report that I had a great experience! It started off with my arriving several hours early, and being able to check in right away! That hardly ever happens. (It was still morning time!) Mariah at the front desk was delightful, then once I got to my room, I got a text from Maya, welcoming me back! I hadn't stayed here in years, so this was a nice touch. She offered assistance with anything I needed and her, Brianna and Maycee responded the few times that I contacted them. I liked the decor of the lobby and my room was perfect. Loved the Keurig and my king size bed was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't like was the stocked fridge that can't be used for your leftovers or carry out. I will never buy the overpriced beverages, so it's a waste. I didn't see the sticker saying that if you move anything out of the fridge you're charged for it, and I did because I had a to go box that needed to be refrigerated. I texted the ladies and they confirmed that they would notate my account to ensure that I wasn't charged. We had a networking event at Pete's Pub before dinner the first night at Trenasse. Loved that both were right in the hotel! I also loved that the ballroom and meeting rooms were off the same bank of elevators, very close, so it was convenient to go to my room if needed. There was also a lot of seating in the lobby. Super convenient and comfy. The only negatives from the whole week were the bar closing at 11 when we had a large party returning from dinner and wanting to hang out (we moved to the lobby with paper cups!) and the a/c blasting in the meeting rooms...I was constantly freezing! But other than those two things I had a great stay here and would return!

    Disappointing Stay - Not a True InterContinental Experience. I've stayed at InterContinental hotels across the U.S. and internationally, and unfortunately, this location did not live up to the brand's reputation. From start to finish, the experience was disappointing. This location also does not have a club lounge for those with access. Our first room had a strong odor, and the balcony door was completely broken. After being moved, we found the furniture in the new room falling apart. Despite having high IHG status, we were denied an upgrade, even though it was included in my benefits. After some back-and-forth, we decided to stop pushing and focus on enjoying our trip. Housekeeping was another struggle. I requested a few basic items--an extra robe, slippers, and a shower cap. After multiple requests via phone and chat, only one item arrived at a time, and in the end, we still didn't receive everything. At checkout, I requested an itemized receipt and was given a blank page showing just the total charge. The front desk staff, who seemed to be having a bad day, insisted that was all they could provide. Only after following up via text was I finally sent the proper receipt. I was also incorrectly charged for a bottle of wine I didn't consume but was able to get it removed by providing a picture of it still in the room. The one bright spot of our stay was Bellman, Oswald, who was always friendly and welcoming--his kindness was a highlight each day. The lobby is nice and the restaurant in the front part of the lobby, which is a third-party is pretty good. The restaurant owned by the hotel and where breakfast is served was disappointing. As a loyal InterContinental guest, I won't let this experience deter me from the brand overall, but I will be much more cautious in the future and do my research rather than assuming a location meets the usual high standards.

    Ambiance: A Comfort: A Bed: A Cleanliness: A Customer Service: A ---- I absolutely loved my stay here! I think some of the criticism this hotel gets is unwarranted. Yes, it does not feel very modern 1)Because it's, well, old, and 2) that's its style--old European charm. If you're not into vintage aesthetics, I can see why it might not appeal to everyone, but docking stars because you don't like the concept feels unfair. Personally, I adore all things vintage, so this hotel was right up my alley from the start. Despite its age, the property is very well-maintained. There was nothing dingy, peeling, or neglected--everything felt clean and thoughtfully cared for. There are some updated spaces, like the beautiful sitting room on the third floor. It's decorated with white chairs and purple pillows, and in December, the Christmas decorations make it look like something straight out of a storybook. The customer service was also fantastic. There was a minor issue with my reservation (we were traveling as a large group, and there was a mix-up--though it wasn't clear whether it was on the hotel's end or the travel agent's), but they sorted it out quickly. I even ended up in a junior suite as they didn't have any of my room type available. It was an amazing upgrade that I didn't expect! If you love vintage charm paired with excellent service, I highly recommend this hotel. For me, it was the perfect mix of character and comfort!

    We stayed here for a last minute getaway and overall enjoyed our stay. I was disappointed that I got a room overlooking a parking lot instead of a room with a downtown view or a patio view (even numbers) even though we stayed for 4 nights. Location is good! Close but not in the French quarter as it is loud near Bourbon street. It was a 10min walk from the E2 airport bus line and a street car to the Garden District runs in front of the hotel. Service was good! The first morning I ran 3 cycles through the Keurig which had calcifications in it. I requested a clean machine which they replaced. I also requested more regular coffee as they only stock it with 3 pods. They provide all the necessary toiletries which were not my favorite. But having limited luggage space, I did not bring my own. Shower ran well with warm water and drained well. Pillows and bed were comfortable. Decor is a bit dark but didn't bother me. The decor of the third floor is much nicer and I hope the rest of the hotel is updated similarly. The pool area on the roof was closed for maintenance. Gym had necessary equipment but I didn't use it as I walked 20k steps per day sightseeing.

    Staff was great; location was very good. Hotel is getting very worn, the dust on the light fixtures in Petes looked like animals could live there. It is a very loud area, if you have an interior room there is much noise from surrounding buildings, street noise and next door neighbors on their patios. It's not quiet. It was a nice visit. Just be prepared, of but wait Lukes is across the street and that was fun.

    Mold is in the air vents and all throughout the room. I know NOLA is humid so mold tends to be a problem but for a 4 star hotel they need to sort this out. I had to stay here for a work conference and I had one of the nicer rooms offered. Mold all in the vents, rooms smell incredibly musty. I asked to move rooms and even the next room still had mold but less than the first. I've was coughing the entire time I was in the room and had a runny nose due to the mold exposure. I've still had a cough since leaving and going back home for the past few days and I am not even asthmatic. You should NOT stay here especially if you are immune compromised or asthmatic.

Giving our guests a real taste of New Orleans was incredibly important. If our guests did nothing else during their trip, we wanted them to feel like they had an experience unique to the city. Latrobe's definitely helped us achieve that. From the beautiful courtyard complete with burning gas lamps, to the grand banking room, to the wonderful food selection of delicious regional delicacies. Many of our guests told us that they felt they had been transported back in time. That it was the best, most unique wedding they had ever attended - and with the best food! Lastly, the team at Latrobe's is incredible - I actually miss talking to them every week! (LOL) Rylan, Hana, and Millie are the best. I am so grateful for their expertise, patience, and kindness during the entire planning process. A big thank you to Rylan especially for her guidance during our tasting and rehearsal! We would also like to thank the day-of event team, including Marté and David, who made us feel so special on our wedding day. Many of our guests commented on the kindness of the Latrobe's staff who made them feel so welcome. In conclusion, there are simply not enough stars to accurately review Latrobe's!

My daughter and her fiancé did a detailed search for just the right wedding venue to meet their needs. We booked Marché about six months in advance after visiting multiple venues, and it quickly stood out. The planning process can be tedious and tricky, but their Special Events Operations Manager, Wallace, was truly exceptional. He is the primary reason we chose Marché and, ultimately, the reason our wedding day was such a success. Why we chose Marché: * Excellent French Quarter location * Beautiful views from multiple balconies * Great layout for ceremony, dining, and dancing * Incredible, authentic New Orleans food * Excellent value for the price * Wallace's professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond What impressed us most after the wedding: * The tasting was extremely helpful in finalizing food and drink selections * We were able to customize ceremony and dining layouts to fit our vision * Time allotted for both ceremony and reception was more than adequate * Food was outstanding and widely praised by guests * Bartenders made great drinks and happily accommodated requests * Wine, liquor, and beer selections were very good * The "flip" from ceremony to dance space was executed flawlessly--fast, organized, and exactly as planned Guest feedback: * The staff welcomed our guests with enthusiasm and excitement. They made everyone feel welcome. * We received countless compliments, with many saying it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended * Guests loved the food, drinks, and smooth flow from dining to dancing Helpful recommendations: * Take full advantage of the balconies--we threw beads to guests waiting in Dutch Alley before the second line, which was a highlight * Have champagne passed as guests arrive to set a celebratory tone * Do not overdecorate the ceremony room--the chandeliers, floors, windows, and lighting are already stunning * Encourage guests to use the balconies at night; the views are amazing (our cigar bar was a big hit) * Highly recommend a second line--it creates a fantastic guest experience and allows time for reception setup * A separate "day-of" coordinator is unnecessary if you are organized--Wallace and his team handle everything seamlessly One small negative (for transparency): Our assigned salesperson was slow to respond to emails, and her in-person communication style was abrupt. However, this did not impact the success of our wedding and should not discourage anyone from choosing Marché. Overall, Creole Cuisine Company and its employees are consistently professional and hospitable at all levels of leadership and staff. Planning tip: Carefully review the food and beverage brochure and ask detailed pricing questions. We created a spreadsheet to track costs and maximize value. Be sure to ask about reduced pricing for minors and vendors. Final note: Wallace is a true gem--kind, positive, respectful, and incredibly attentive. Because of his leadership, the entire team operates at the highest level. Not a single guest needed anything all night, and the bride and groom were truly taken care of. Marché delivered an unforgettable wedding experience, and we recommend it without hesitation.

We started with the bottomless mimosas, which were only $25 and absolutely worth it. For appetizers, we ordered the corn and crawfish bisque and the Louisiana crawfish beignets. Those beignets were so good--OMG! I would honestly go back just for them. They were packed with flavorful crawfish and cooked perfectly. For my entrée, I had the steak and eggs and substituted the sunny-side-up eggs for scrambled eggs. Everything was delicious, and the steak was cooked just right. The atmosphere was fantastic as well. The music kept the vibes going the entire time, and they definitely know how to do brunch. Even the bathroom was stunning! Between the food, drinks, ambiance, and service, we had an amazing experience and will definitely be back.

Looking around, the place was so pretty and green, with a lot of natural lighting due to there being many windows and open doors. Once we sat our waiter came and once he heard it was our first time there, he instantly offered recommendations to us and gave us plenty of time to order. I ordered the Cubano sandwhich, crawfish beignets, and regular beignets. Everything was so good! The sandwhich came with fries as part of the order and they were crispy to perfection. The crawfish beignets are more like hush puppies though so keep that in mind! The regular beignets had a good flasky crust to them and were so pillowy. I would definitely come back to try their dinner menu!

    I attended a benefit in this space a few months ago and wow it is gorgeous. The open floor plan,…read morethe exposed rafters, the beautiful bar, the throwback corner door access. And I loved all the artwork on the walls. The space does not appear to have regular hours so viewings are by appointment only. Seriously with the revitalization of OCH/Dryades corridor, it's great to see such lovely historic buildings come back into their own.

    I had the opportunity to check out this space thanks to Alvin and Re because this is where the Big…read moreClass Luau was held. I want to start by saying how excited I am for the development of the entire Oretha Castle Haley corridor. I think in a year it is going to be one of the hottest areas in the city. It took me a few minutes to actually find this place at first. My good ol' GPS just led me to the 1400 block of OCH and left me to find the actual building on my own. Just a note: it's on a corner and I took a picture of the door, so that you can be on the lookout. The venue itself is lovely. It's a wide open space with a nice bar and plenty of seating. There is gorgeous art on the wall and I like that there is a lot of space to move around. Big selling point: the air conditioning here works like a champ. A lot of times you get into these old buildings, and the ac can't keep up with the space, but that was not the case here. Plenty of windows let in the light during the day, which I am always a fan of; I hate going to dark event spaces during the day and feeling like I'm in a dungeon. There is a stage area where students for Big Class read poems. I presume that other performances take place on the stage as well. There are even some sofas for comfy seating as you enjoy whatever is happening on stage or just mingling with friends. I didn't get to explore it, but there's an upstairs area as well. It should be noted that the building is located on an extremely well lit block, so if you attend an event here at night you should feel pretty safe. I look forward to attending more events here and I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more fundraisers that may be held here.
