A LITTLE ABOUT US –

The Bourbon Orleans Hotel is an iconic landmark that captures the exiting energy and rich history of the historic neighborhood which surrounds us. You cannot ask for a more desired location! We are truly in the heart of the Vieux Carre situated just behind the historic St. Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square.

As you step into the grand lobby you walk back in time, following the footsteps of New Orleans elite attending a grand ball or French opera. Legendary events are part of our history, and we are excited to be part of yours!

New Orleans Wedding Weekend

The Sales and Service Staff were extremely accommodating, pleasant, flexible and professional. We had a large group of rooms for several nights at the hotel and also had several catered events. The in room dining for our wedding party was excellent. We had yogurt and honey and fruit and muffins and for the groom: king cake. We also had coffee and tea. The food was great and service so good that I added gratuity. People make the difference. The pictures we took outside the ballroom were iconic to New Orleans. They will be treasured forever and the hotel staff made it happen when our first location was rained out.
The brunch I hosted was spectacular. The hotel put on a wonderfully delicious spread and exceeded my expectations. I just wish we could do it all again at the bourbon Orleans hotel.
