The Olivier House Hotel

Lovely place to stay. We had a little loft room with a balcony and chandelier. Very romantic!

The charm of The Olivier House is excellent! If you want a place where you feel you’re stepping back in time stay here. The beds were comfy, staff attentive and the location can’t be beat. The 3 hotel cats were a bonus!

The staff were wonderful, the place truly felt magical. I would absolutely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay near all the tourist activities. A really unique place with a rich history : )

We brought our teens to the Olivier House for the weekend, and we all loved it. It was in a great location for walking to anything in the French Quarter. We loved the resident cats, and the staff was very helpful. We forgot two dresses when we left; the staff helped us locate them and mailed them back to our house. We would stay there again!

Such a wonderful stay here! Beautiful, unique, friendly, helpful, comfortable, historic, great location… all these things and more. Bed was so comfy, bathroom nice, clean and the room was beautiful. I highly recommend this place and everything about it

Great stay, location is perfect in the center of the actions and not too noisy, about 2 mins walk to Bourbon street, 5 mins to Jackson square. Hotel decor is very unique make it feel like a vintage old style home back in the day. Would definitely go back to stay there again next time I visit New Orleans.

This hotel is the epitome of a great guest experience. The property encompasses a meticulously restored 1839 mansion and adjacent buildings that make each room a unique gem. You can choose from balconies overlooking the hustle of being 1/2 block off Bourbon St, or the quiet of looking down on the pool and lush courtyards . If you’re part dolphin, they have rooms that open onto the pool. If you prefer a more isolated stay, or something on ground level, they have a couple of suites with semiprivate courtyards. If you want to hang out inside, there are two parlors, one of which contains complimentary snacks, a coffee bar, and cold bottled water. John, the concierge, did everything he could to make our stay comfortable and memorable, including upgrading us to a street side balcony room when I mentioned we were here for or anniversary. He also recommended dining locations and other things we might enjoy based on what we had told him and what he observed of my husband’s limited physical abilities because of recent back surgery, and he allowed me to walk through one of the ground floor suites to see if would meet our needs for our next trip. Which I booked on the spot by the way. To be clear, there are some quirks with the place. Floorboards creak, there are weird little step ups or downs in odd locations, and the elevator is in what I honestly believe is a converted closet. But the place is almost 200 years old, and if you can’t appreciate the charm of that, then you’d be better off in one of the boring hotel chains with cookie cutter rooms with laminate furniture. I’ve stayed in many different hotels in New Orleans over the last thirty years, and this has by far exceeded anything else we’ve experienced. Oh, and there are three hotel cats that you can pet on. What could be better?

What a unique and different experience. We loved it. If you want to stay in a hotel that feels so old New Orleans French Quarter, this is the place. If you are looking for a mundane chain hotel type experience, you should go elsewhere. The same family has owned it for 2 or 3 generations and it shows with the service and attention to giving the guest a good stay. Truly authentic down to earth people, and I mean that for pretty much everyone that works there. We didn't meet anyone who wasn't friendly and helpful. The hotel is beautifully restored and really comfortable. Great beds and bedding, towels, etc. More than anything, the reason to stay here is because when you are there you feel like a part of New Orleans. The building is a classic place that could only exist in the French Quarter. The staff treats you like a local friend, talking about restaurants, music, and anything else New Orleans related that you wish to know or talk about. Being a part of a place is what travel is about, and the Olivier House was such a wonderful place to have that experience. Thank you to everyone there.

Really enjoyed my stay here, it was exactly the experience I had hoped for!!
