A historic church, school house, rectory and convent, reborn as Hotel Peter and Paul. The historic campus constitutes four buildings: the former school house, rectory, church and convent, each carefully restored and repurposed for new congregants. Each building has its own inspiration and narrative and the resulting restoration ensures that no two guest rooms are exactly alike.
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Gorgeous boutique hotel. We stayed in the schoolhouse, 3rd floor. The room was decorated so stylishly with high ceilings, large bed and great shower. Just walking around and looking at the hotel was fun as every area is beautiful. Bar next door is great. Didn’t have time to eat in the restaurants but they looked good. Walking distance to Frenchman St. A bit far to walk to Bourbon or Royal but we loved the location.

We absolutely loved everything about this hotel. It is a historic convent/church and accessory buildings which has been restored beautifully and decorated by reputed designers. Each room is unique, and the small touches such as high quality hand soaps complete the portrait. Staff was attentive and helpful with dining and other recommendations as well as arranging airport transportation. The neighborhood is in transition, attracting young people and hip eateries and is not too far from the edge of the French quarter and Frenchman street (easily walkable). The attached restaurant/bar Elysium was great too. Wonderful food and attentive service.

What a total gem in New Orleans! Tucked in the Marigny, this eclectic boutique hotel is a mix of old Europe and the Big Easy. We had two rooms, one of the small rooms and a standard room. Both were fantastic. Nestled on the bottom floor of the school house, our rooms were clean, spacious, meticulously appointed, and comfortable. We had all of the necessities and many of the luxuries.
The filtered water was an unexpected bonus and the bath products smelled so good that we had to buy some to bring home (nicely done, marketing team!). The staff was wonderful, especially Jamal. Friendly and knowledgeable, it felt every bit a 4 star hotel without being stuffy. Bathtub was an antique iron clawfoot tub and the shower had a lovely waterfall head as well as a handheld.
We did have difficulty with one room getting on wifi, but the staff were fabulous at getting it remedied immediately. Parking was safe and so easy to access. Quiet at night and chill during the day, it was a lovely spot to rest in between our vacation experiences in town.
As beautiful as the Elysian Bar was, it was really difficult to get a reservation. We ended up on night 3 of 3 finally getting a seating. The patio was gorgeous and the food was good. The host was rude and the server was inattentive and severely dinged a nearly-flawless stay. Do not let this one comment deter you from staying here, however. We will definitely stay here again and give the hotel our full and highest recommendation.

At first glance, on the website, the boutique hotel looked more polished and aesthetically pleasing than in person. Pros: The location is definitely great to be away from the very touristy section and a very close walk (10 mins) to the French Quarter. Good restaurant/bar on site (though it closes at 10 so even if you're a guest, be prepared to be turned away if near that time), fun/quirky vibe.
Cons: Overpriced, at $450 a night (schoolhouse loft room) the expectation is to have a really beautiful experience and unfortunately the staff, albeit kind and respectful, didn't quite seem seasoned enough to truly provide the experience warranting the cost. From the fixtures, quality of finishings/furnishings to the service, overall, missing the Southern hospitality that one would hope to experience. Definitely go if you find a deal on the per night but not worth more than $300 per night.

Hello guest, I am sorry to hear you had a lack luster experience. Our goal is to provide a high standard of hospitality but it being our first busy season since the pandemic, we still have a lot to work on with one of those being a tenured staff. We continue to try to raise the bar with our staff and our amenities though it is going to take a bit longer to see the results. We do hope you will come see us again in the future and see the work we have put in come to fruition. All the best, Ali- Assistant General Manager

We treated ourselves to a weekend stay at Hotel Peter and Paul to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. A former New Orleans resident, he had loved the Elysian Bar for years and always wanted to come back and stay at the hotel.
When we first walked into our room, our jaws dropped with how calm, pretty, and pristine the room was. The linens were crisp, the furnishings just right, and even the soap smelled divine. It was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever stayed in, and I loved the little touches like the curated local guidebooks on the table to inform our stay.
From the pre-trip emails with suggestions for activities, dining, and shopping to excellent service from the staff during our stay, our customer service experience was terrific. Parking on-site was a breeze, too, and very reasonable at $10 per night.
Staying here made me feel like I have finally unlocked "grown-up traveler" status. I can't wait to explore their other hotels!

Amelia, We are delighted you and your boyfriend enjoyed Hotel Peter and Paul. Hearing about your experience and all of our "little touches" really moves us. We are especially proud you utilized our pre-arrival literature. We hoped you felt like an in-the-know local during your stay and the fact that you mentioned our recommendations is awesome. We are proud of our vibe as well as the vibe of our neighborhood businesses. Our hotel is part of a wonderful collection of properties that we would be honored to have you visit. The Siren in Detroit and The Dean in Providence are two that should be on your bucket list for the near future.

This is a beautifully restored property, where obvious care and attention to detail has been given to each space: a dramatic entrance and reception area, unique and comfortable rooms, charming community spaces such as the third floor lounge in the schoolhouse, and ample outdoor seating. The location of the hotel is fantastic: completely walkable to the music clubs on Frenchmen Street and all the entertainment options in the French Quarter. But being in the Marigny, you are also a short walk away from the thought-provoking art at Studio Be, the myriad of dining options at St. Roch Market, enchanting finds at Crescent CIty Conjure, and the retro arcade games of Sea Cave. The best aspect of this hotel is its staff members. Everyone from housekeeping to reception to maintainance was genuinely warm, friendly, and happy to answer questions/accomodate requests. Our only suggestions would be to provide robes in the rooms (seems odd that a hotel of this caliber wouldn't provide them, expecially when the showers/tubs/bath products provided are so luxurious) and perhaps a deeper clean to the rooms between guests (when unpacking, I found a pair of used socks in the storage cabinet and the first night, I spilled some water behind the clawfoot tub. Not wanting to damage those gorgeous wooden floors, I attempted to wipe up the water with a towel that quickly darkened from a significant amount of dirt/grime). Overall, the Hotel Peter and Paul is a hotel worth visiting.

Hello Guest- Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We love our lively neighborhood which is full of great places to eat and enjoy yourself. As for robes, you missed them by one week! We just received them and now offer gingham robes made for Hotel Peter and Paul. They will be here awaiting your next arrival. Thank you for bringing up the cleaning as well. I am sorry your room was not cleaned to a higher standard, but I have informed housekeeping about the areas behind the tubs and will make sure these areas are getting cleaned more thoroughly. We look forward to hosting you whenever you find yourself back in New Orleans! Best, Ali

I stayed in a beautiful room with a loft in the Old School house. The hotel décor is stunning - a subtle mix of antiques and new pieces. No attention to detail was spared or overlooked - from the Italian bedding to the custom blend soaps and shampoos. As others have noted, the staff is amazingly accommodating, knowledgeable and friendly. Get the staff to help you find Officer Blanco, the head of security who can let you in the stunning church (now used for events) and can tell you the history of the buildings and renovations - fascinating! My twins are attending Tulane so this will be my new home in NoLa for the next four years!

We enjoy staying in boutique hotels in up and coming neighborhoods and Hotel Peter and Paul check all the boxes for comfort and exploring the city. Each room appears to be unique and nicely decorated. Rooms above the first floor have very high ceilings which adds to the charm. Our beds with fine linens were comfortable and the staff was welcoming.
We enjoyed the affiliated bar and restaurant each evening before heading to one of New Orleans iconic local restaurants; the secluded outdoor courtyard with nice lighting was perfect with limited but very nice wine selections. Another big plus was the one block walk to Who Dat Cafe for breakfast. On-site parking was a plus. One suggestion is to add a personal safe in the rooms for valuables while exploring the city. We’ll be back!

After staying in a large chain hotel on Canal Street for a work conference, I had written New Orleans off as a one and done. I booked a couple of extra nights after the conference at Hotel Peter and Paul, and I have completely changed my mind.
Everything about this hotel was the perfect palate cleaner. The location was ideal, within walking distance of great food, music, and public transportation and the neighborhood itself is postcard New Orleans. The hotel itself is stunning and has a ton of character. My room was a single, which was spacious and well appointed. There was a basket of New Orleans snacks in the room (for a charge) and the body care products were top notch. There is a beautiful lounge on the 3rd floor of the main building, which I was able to use as my office for the day. There is also a restaurant, coffee shop, and ice cream parlour onsite in case you're looking for something close to the homebase. But, the best thing about the hotel was the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, even going so far as to help me send home a box of my clothes so I'd have more room for souvenirs. I went from loathing New Orleans to planning a return trip with my husband, and it is mostly due to the Hotel Peter and Paul.

Amanda, Thank you so much for a wonderful review. We pride ourselves on having a unique sense of space and it sounds like you really felt home. Our hand selected New Orleans treats that we provide in all of rooms invite you to indulge in local New Orleans goodies. If the gorgeous neighborhood of Marigny doesn't make you feel like a true local, maybe the snacks will. Isn't the 3rd floor lounge fantastic?! Originally a stage of the schoolhouse, during the renovation of the property, we felt the space was too special to omit, so we embraced it. On the self-guided tour, The Holy Ghosts Audio Tour, available for all of our guests, there is a really delightful episode entitled My First Real Job that captures the essence of that space from a former student from the 1960s.It is wonderful that the stage is still creating fond memories. We are truly thankful for posting your experience and especially hearing that our team took great care of you warms our hearts. We look forward to hosting you and your husband in the near future.

A beautiful hotel that maintains the buildings' historic character while giving them a modern and playful update. We've stayed at Hotel Peter and Paul twice, and we highly recommend the rooms in the School House and the Convent, with one caveat:
The School House's top floor is the converted attic, so each room has a skylight instead of windows, which means you have very limited daylight and views. And as a result of their steeply slanted ceilings, these rooms feel claustrophobic, and only about half the square footage is usable. On our second stay at the hotel, we first were given an attic room and were especially disappointed since it cost the same as the much larger and brighter rooms in the rest of the School House. Fortunately, the helpful staff switched us to a very nice room in the Convent.
The Elysian Bar is small but as adorable and unique as all the other spaces in the hotel, Sunday Best is a cute shop with local brands, and the Church is a large and lovely event space. The staff is polite and professional, though they seemed a bit worn out from a wedding during the weekend of our second stay.
Overall, Peter and Paul is a real find. It's now our go-to New Orleans hotel.

Hello, and thanks for your interest in Hotel Peter & Paul. We're thrilled to know that you plan on joining us next month for such a special occassion. The 4 rooms located on the stage are School House Classics, though booking a School House Classic does not guarantee you will be placed in these 4 specifically, you're more than welcome to let us know in advance of your preference and we'll do our best to get it for you pending availability. Don't hesitate to reach out to us directly for any questions or more information, and we hope to see you here soon!

I felt safe throughout my weekend in NOLA. I am male and an urban dweller myself, so it's always in the back of my mind to stay alert when walking -- everywhere I go. The French Quarter and Marigny seemed a bit safer than where I live in Uptown Dallas. The people passing on the street generally were friendly and also helpful if you needed directions. They are accustomed to seeing tourists and seem to be appreciative that you are there supporting their city.
Hello,
The parking area is gated but you can access it through our Piazza which is not gated. We do have cameras and security as well.
I hope this was helpful. Please feel free to give us a call if you have more questions.
