This is a great little historic,family owner property. When you walk inside this hotel you will know you are in New Orleans French Quarter, Very quaint. If you are looking for Hilton type accommodations this is not your place. The rooms are older but clean and quite updated. Conveniently located but far enough away from the fray that the sleeping...

This is a wonderful place to use as your comfort zone while visiting New Orleans. It is in a very quiet part of the French Quarter, but only blocks from all the activity you'd ever want! The staff, from check-in to check-out, were superb. The front desk staff were always friendly and helpful. They helped with directions, tour suggestions, dinner... More

Pros: Price, amenities, location. Cons: The French Quarter location near Esplanade can be dark and deserted at night. We were upgraded from a regular room to a one bed room apartment and the room was very, very nice and comfortable. Our room and the entire hotel was spotlessly clean. Check in and out was efficient, courteous, and friendly. Our room... More

Location is good. But I rather stay close to Canal street on the border of downtown and French Quarter. We came in early and got our room. Front desk clerk upon check in was very kind. Hotel is old and outdated. We stayed for 2 nights in double bed room. Room was small and had strange odor. I smell that... More

We spent three nights at Le Richelieu. First of all, the location is perfect, within walking distance of everything in the French Quarter but away from the craziness of Bourbon Street. Frenchman's Street with its great music and cool restaurants is just a 5 minute stroll away. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable and king sized. The staff... More

We returned to New Orleans in April, 2013. We looked at other hotels in the area but none seemed to offer what we were looking for more than Le Richelieu. It is a quiet hotel with the atmosphere you expect from being in the French Quarter. The decor is beautiful and the staff is superb. The front desk can answer... More

The location to the Quarter is super. Walking distance to everything....Royal street, French Market, the Cathedral and Jackson Square, Bourbon street, Frenchman street.......and only... More

The property is located on the "quiet" side of the French Quarter, and is near the newly and nicely revamped French Market (1.5 blocks) and Frenchmen's Street (2 blocks just outside of quarter) which is THE place to go for great music (forget Bourbon Street!). The staff is 100% terrific--helpful, hospitable and friendly. The room we stayed in was very... More

This was a wonderful hotel for our stay in New Orleans. The location is perfect to be in the French Quarter but not in the madness. The building is historic and beautiful.
