I have been visiting New Orleans for over twenty years and at first stayed in a variety of hotels. Once I found Lamothe House, I have never stayed anywhere else. The elegant decor creates an ambience which is ideal for a a visit to The Big Easy. The magnificent hallway leads to a charming courtyard with an inviting pool especially... More

My fiancé and I have stayed at Lamonth House on two occasions. Once on Memorial Day weekend 2012 and again in October 2012. The first time we stayed, we were in a room in the hotel’s main courtyard. The room, which had not yet been renovated, was large and well-appointed, albeit no-frills. The bed was very comfortable and the room... More

Let's start with the positives. The service staff was very friendly, efficient, and helpful. The room was clean, and well maintained. The location, while a 15-20 minute walk to the action on Bourbon Street, was conveniently close to Frenchman's Street that contained numerous restaurants and jazz clubs. Now for the rest of it: 1. We made reservations for Mardi Gras,... More

To preface, I had unexpected back surgery 5 days prior to my visit. This is important to know because: a) there is no elevator and b) there is no bellhop service. There were some customer service snags as a result of this as well, which could have been handled better at the time, by the front desk - which is... More

The LaMothe House Hotel has a lot of character. I believe that travelers can have two different impressions depending on their room. We stayed in the main house where the rooms are restored with antiques and give you very much the feel of the original French Quarter. That may include a sofa that may look beautiful but may not be... More

Located very close to the French Market. A ten minute walk will get you to wherever you want to be in the French Quarter. It is more of a guest house than a hotel - with a main, older building and numerous outbuildings which have been converted into rooms. Our room was towards the back of the complex, newly renovated.... More

It’s true. We have fallen in love with New Orleans - and with that, a number of New Orleans digs. Even so, your Set of Drifters hate getting into a rut, and that’s precisely why we seek out new locations every time we “check into” NOLA. It all started back in 2003 with a great stay at the now-defunct Hotel... More

Nestled in the ancient oaks of Esplanade Avenue, the ornate architectural detail of the past meets modern comfort and convenience in our restoration of the historic Lamothe House hotel. Featuring an elaborate courtyard accented by mature landscaping, a garden pond, and a refreshing pool, peace and relaxation are just steps away from the thrill the Crescent City has to offer.In addition to 30 guest rooms refinished in traditional style, five Grand Antique Suites have been preserved from the original 1839 construction of the home of Jean Lamothe, a wealthy sugar cane planter of French descent. Furnished with antique furniture & artwork, the detail and charm that exemplifies old New Orleans is accessible to today’s traveler.Not to be overlooked is the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood the Lamothe House calls home. Here visitors will find Frenchmen Street, often referred to as “the local’s Bourbon Street”, which features some of the best local music and cuisine found in the French Quarter.Whether it’s your first or your next visit to the Big Easy, find the authentic New Orleans experience you are searching for at the Lamothe House. ... more   less
