My husband and I just returned from a wedding in NOLA. The whole wedding stayed at this lovely hotel. Great location- between Royal and Bourbon Streets, walking distance to everything.The ambiance is upscale, relaxing, and fun. While rooms are on the smaller side, they are well appointed, nicely decorated, and the beds are really comfortable. Extra touches include bottled water, robes, coffee maker, hair dryer,etc. While the bath was small too, it was well done - black marble, large shower ( no tub) , lighted makeup mirror , and great towels. Downstairs the inner courtyard has a small ( don 't expect to do laps) heated , saltwater pool surrounded by lots of comfortable outdoor cushioned seating. I loved stopping there before going to my room just to soak my poor tired feet! There is breakfast every am which can be eaten in or out- certainly enough to tide you over till you can continue at all the incredible places in the French Quarter. The staff is friendly and helpful. They quickly fixed a broken makeup light in our room when asked. At checkin , you are given two free drink coupons to be used at the bar. Try the signature martini , the Vive( violet pear).
Within walking distance, The Monteleone carousel bar is a great stop.
Need a taxi? We have used the nicest man, Henry Lee Tennessee, on two trips now. He is prompt, courteous, and a delight to visit with . His late model , Armada, can take more than just two . 504-236-7294 we found taxis to be cheaper and direct when going to and from the airport.

My wife a I stayed several nights at the Hotel LeMarais during a recent visit to New Orleans. Overall, we had a good experience. However, the hotel did have a few shortcomings.

Positives:
Great location if you will be spending a lot of time in the French Quarter, as we did.
Room was very quiet at night (facing courtyard).
Staff was very pleasant and helpful.
Cool bar area and adjacent courtyard.
Free breakfast included (but see below).
Complimentary bar drinks were great.

Negatives:
Bathroom was very small and not well designed.
Very small "closet" space in room.
Room decor was OK but rather uninspiring.
Breakfast selection was pretty basic and rather limited.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay in the French Quarter.

Fantastic hotel in great location and very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel was well decorated, lovely pool area. The room was most comfortable and very clean. The complimentary bottle of water each day added a nice touch. The continental breakfast was delicious and there was a large variety to choose from.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The Hotel is right next to the famous Bourbon Street in the French Quartier. So the Location is Top. The Rooms are Great too - however altough we stayed out for hours and had the Little green light on to indicate that the room should be made up, it hardly ever was done....except for the check out day - they would knock on the door even long bevore check out time. Annoying! In the evening the Bar aerea next to the Pool is lovely and so much more releaxing than Bourbon Street. A Little disturbing was the Rat , trying to empty the tabels...but thats New Orleans.
