Pontchartrain Hotel St. Charles Avenue - A historic 1927 Garden District landmark with rooftop views and award-winning dining

Dating back to 1927, this 14-story architectural gem stands along the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line in the Garden District. The 4-star New Orleans hotel features classically appointed rooms with Le Labo toiletries, robes, safes, and modern amenities. Four distinct dining venues include the legendary Bayou Bar - once frequented by Frank Sinatra and Truman Capote, Jack Rose restaurant serving Italian-French-Spanish fusion, the historic Silver Whistle Café, and Hot Tin rooftop bar offering 270-degree views of downtown and the Mississippi River. 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.

Pros

Historic location along the Mardi Gras parade route with 200-year-old oak trees

Live jazz performances five nights weekly at the Bayou Bar

Preferred access to all four on-site dining venues included in stay

Complimentary welcome glass of sparkling wine at hotel bars

Cons

No on-site fitness center (partner gym located off-property)

Valet parking only at $49 per night plus tax

“The Pontchartrain Hotel has a storied legacy; its rooftop bar, Hot Tin, offers unparalleled city views. This family-friendly hotel in the Garden District features unique, Deep South-inspired decor and live jazz at the Bayou Bar. It's a distinctive place to experience New Orleans.”
