Top Fair Grounds Race Course Hotel Reviews

Wyndham New Orleans - French Quarter

8/10 Good

"The hotel check-in was smooth and fast. My room was comfortable and spacious. The only problem that I had was that a worker entered my room without knocking at 5pm. I was undressing at the time. I was completely startled. I called the front desk, and they found that one of the engineers went to the wrong room. The manager was very accommodating and apologetic."

Bourbon Orleans Hotel

Hotel Mazarin

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in the middle of the French Quarter. Walking distance to all attractions."

Le Richelieu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A Love Letter to Hotel New Orleans There are hotels you simply stay in, and then there are hotels that become part of the story. Hotel New Orleans belongs firmly in the latter category. From the moment you step inside, there is an unmistakable sense of place. The atmosphere carries that wonderfully intoxicating New Orleans character: romantic, mysterious, historic, and just a little bit decadent. It feels less like checking into a hotel and more like stepping into a beautifully preserved chapter of the city itself. The architecture and design strike a remarkable balance between sophistication and soul. Nothing feels sterile or overly polished. Instead, there is texture, character, and a sense that the building has stories of its own. The details invite you to slow down and actually look around. And that is perhaps what I appreciated most. Hotel New Orleans doesn’t simply accommodate you. It gives you an atmosphere to inhabit. After spending time wandering through the city, returning to the hotel felt like stepping back into a quieter world. There is something wonderfully cinematic about it, especially in the evening when New Orleans begins to take on that particular glow that makes the city feel almost dreamlike. The experience is elevated by the hospitality. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without ever making the experience feel formal or forced. Those little moments of thoughtful service are what transform a beautiful property very memorable."
