Was a weekend getaway for my husband and I. The hotel has nice rooms and comfortable beds, the restaurants inside are nice as well with great food. The only downside was our room was located right near an entrance so every time some one would walk in & out the door, the door would slam! Also, the valet parking was... More

Stayed here for a convention at the center, only 6 block walk. Staff is incredible and attentive. Really no standard front desk, but you are greeted at the curb and handled through the check in process. While waiting you can speak with Scarlette, the hotel's parrot. Take time to get used to finding your room as the halls can get... More

A pretty good hotel with large rooms and a good bar. Nice drinks and very relaxed. The location is a little bit off the French Quarter - a non negotiable $10 fixed fair or a 15 minute walk to Canal Street - but all in all pretty good. The lack of reception isn't quite so thankfully and there are staff... More

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and loved it! The hotel was nicely updated and modern, as the name implies. The restaurant in the hotel is good and the bar across the courtyard is a great place to hang out and drink a vintage cocktail. I loved the warehouse/ arts district, lots of museums, art galleries, new... More

This hotel is within 11/2 blocks of the WW11 museum and the Modern art Museum. The hotel has a european feel. The resturant is very good with some nice different dishes for breakfast and dinner. The valet parking is costly $40.00 per night. However there is a parking lot behind the hotel. Check rates carefully we received vastly differnt quotes... More

We stayed at the Hotel Modern for 6 nights. Typical for New Orleans (where there's a festival happening every week), it was difficult to find accommodation. We felt Hotel Modern was very good value with nice, upgraded facilities for a reasonable price in a convenient location. We walked or took the streetcar easily to any of the districts we wanted...

The hotel was enjoyable. The staff was extremely helpful anytime we needed anything at all. The rooms are a bit on the small side but were well appointed. The mini fridge is full of the mini bar items so if you plan on using it you'll have to make some room. The location is right next to the St.Charles street... More
