"The location is great on the streetcar and not a long ride to Canal St but at the same time you can walk down a few blocks to Magazine St."

"The Hot Tin rooftop bar is very popular on the weekends and draws long lines in the lobby, but the staff is good at prioritizing hotel guests for the elevator access."

Live jazz performances occur Tuesday through Saturday at the Bayou Bar. The Pontchartrain Hotel provides complimentary WiFi throughout and guest access to Franco's Gym on Magazine Street. Located minutes from the French Quarter and Central Business District, the property sits adjacent to the St. Charles Avenue streetcar stop connecting to downtown, uptown, and Mid-City districts.
