Chose hotel for location and gym. Rooms are nice, above average, updated. Disappointing to have all 3 Peloton bikes in the gym not only deactivated but also broken in different ways. Asked the front desk to help 3 different times and nobody did anything. This hotel could be great with a little more effort.
I was traveling for business and debating between Hotel de la Poste and the Westin. As beautiful and reliable as the Westin is, I didn’t come to New Orleans for predictable - I wanted the NOLA charm, the character, the music, the food. I wanted to be in the action. Hotel de la Poste was perfect for that. You’re steps from everything, yet insulated enough to enjoy a calm, peaceful night’s sleep. If you want personality over corporate polish and a stay that actually feels like NOLA, this is the move.
I arrived at the hotel approximately 4 hours before check in on 12/27. We were operating on EST. They took our luggage, tagged it and escorted us to their lovely restaurant. The hostess sat us at their premium table- right on the street with the French doors open for us to embrace the culture of the Quarters. We had the best meal and everything was picture worthy. You will enjoy the hospitality more than anything else. You will enjoy the concierge getting you into your room before 4pm CST. You will enjoy Brittney the bar associate who makes the best morning NOLA Bloody Mary’s that include- okra- peppers- blue cheese and the traditional olives with horseradish if you ask- it was my breakfast and then my whole family started ordering them. Shout out again to the front office- I had to have my birth certificate overnighted via FedEx and they called me when it arrived on 12/31 at 12:30pm!!! It was a total group effort and I can never thank the entire staff for being so kind and friendly to me. I was proud to stay at Hotel De La Porte despite not having a microwave in my room
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel de la Poste and can’t recommend it enough. The location is perfect - right in the French Quarter and close to everything, yet still felt comfortable and relaxing. From the moment we arrived, the hotel embodied true Southern hospitality. Every staff member we encountered was warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming. Our room was fantastic, and the bed deserves special mention...I rarely sleep well in hotels, but it was so comfortable we slept for 12 hours straight! The restaurant and bar on property were also excellent. We enjoyed one dinner and all of our breakfasts there, and everything, from the food to the drinks to the atmosphere was top-notch. The space is clean, bright, and classy, and sitting by the window with lattes each morning was a highlight. A special thank you to Kat, who made our stay extra memorable. She was fun, friendly, gave great local recommendations, and even helped celebrate my birthday, right down to pinning the first dollar to my shirt. Truly exceptional service. We would absolutely stay here again.
The location of this hotel is top notch if you want to stay in the French Quarter. The staff is very nice, polite, and informative. The hallways were nice and cool (thank goodness because most hotel hallways are hot). The ambiance is awesome in this hotel. The rooms are great. Simplistic but decorated very well. We had a minibar, fridge, coffee, plenty of storage, and a very nice bath. Everything is super clean and we had a great view of the pool/courtyard. We will most definitely give this hotel another shot in the future when we come back to NOLA.
It was magnificent staying there. Very secured, reliable as well. They have some perks such as buying a drink and get one off just for being a guest, best part is, it’s affordable comparing to many other hotels we’ve been in the French quarter area.
Rooms were beautiful and the location was perfect! Wish staff was a little more engaging and friendlier. Had a front desk agent stare at me while I waited 15 minutes to check in and just proceeded to be on her phone messaging. At check in is was never told of any of the amenities this property offered.
Really enjoyed my stay - the rooms were cozy stylish, and well designed, the location was perfect - insanely close to everything but still quiet at night in the courtyard facing rooms. The free champagne was a nice touch and the whole place felt safe and secure, especially as a solo traveler. I was here for a work trip and wished I could have stayed at La Poste all 4 days instead of just 2 (especially when I realized how noisy the hyatt was...). I'll definitely be back in warmer weather to see a different side of the city and take advantage of the pool.
