Renaissance Pere Marquette Hotel New Orleans

The Renaissance Pere Marquette is located in the Central Business District, also known as the CBD. To be honest, I was a little disappointed with the hotel. The lobby was much trendier than the actual room. The bed was large with plush pillows and the bathroom was okay, but the air conditioner needed an over hall. As far as I’m concerned, that’s an essential in the south. Plus, the room needed to be a little cleaner for my taste. Basically, I felt like the room was an attempt at being chic that didn’t fully succeed.

The reception area on the other hand, was stylish. The Uncommon Bar is the focal point of the lobby. Glass balls adorn the ceiling and red lights glow in the evening, providing a nice place to unwind. Or does it? Well, if you can get past the rude bartender and the lack of frozen drinks at The Uncommon Bar, you will be having a grand old time. Aside from the bar, there’s a Starbucks, free internet access and fruit infused water in the lobby. Mila, a spot for fine dining, is also adjoined to the restaurant.

In addition to room fees, guests must pay $28 per day for valet parking. I booked by room through frenchquarter.com and received a promotion rate of $14 for parking and two free cocktails. Overall, I wasn’t impressed with this hotel and wouldn’t stay there again given the wide selection in New Orleans.

We stayed at this hotel for the VooDoo Music experience. I chose this hotel because they offered military/Gov. rates during the weekend and during this special event, which doesn't happen very often. Also, they were able to guarantee a doubl...read entire review at TravelPost.com

Avoid the sychophantic bellman. He blew kisses at me, kept calling me "lovely, beautiful queen" - "jewel" and any number of other odd names. He never once carried our bags, summoned our car from parking, or did anything helpful. ...read entire review at TravelPost.com

I went to Jazz Fest and was so incredibly happy at this hotel. Yes, there are still some problems associated with Hurricane Katrina i.e. no room service or on-site restaurant/bar or mini bar in room and sketchy wi-fi but they go 1000% out of thei...read entire review at TravelPost.com
