"Boasting a fantastic location close (but not too close) to the excitement of the French Quarter, this modern hotel is a perfect home base for exploring the city."

Let the good times roll at the Kimpton Fontenot, a chic, modern hotel in the popular Warehouse District of New Orleans. The hotel is ideally located just a seven-minute stroll from the vibrant French Quarter, but far enough away to offer a quieter stay. Hop on a streetcar to the Garden District to see the stunning historic homes, or set out on foot to visit other attractions within the vicinity, including the shops along Magazine Street or the Riverwalk Outlets on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River.

Every guest room comes with thoughtful amenities to make your stay more comfortable, from seersucker dressing gowns to yoga mats to bespoke bath products. Each guest gets two beers, two bottles of water and two streetcar passes upon check-in, and within each room, they’ll find a mini-bar stocked with gourmet treats should a late-night snack attack call. Standard rooms come with one king or two queen-size beds adorned with luxurious Frette linens, but keep in mind that they only run 300-400 square feet (28-37 sqm). Suites come with a living area with a pull-out sofa perfect for children, and some include a dining area that can double as a meeting space.

New Orleans is known for its incredible Cajun and Creole cuisine (and perhaps a bit of alcohol), and the hotel is no exception. Visit the appropriately named Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treats to start your day with an espresso beverage or a fresh juice, then take an afternoon break for a scoop of gelato or a boozy pecan sticky bun. Visit King Brasserie + Bar for Mediterranean dishes made with seafood fresh from the Gulf and distinctly New Orleans happy hour specials like crawfish beignets and bourbon cocktails. The opulent Peacock Room is the perfect place to end your evening with craft cocktails and live music or to fuel up for a night out with juicy cheeseburgers and a signature New Orleans-style hot chicken sandwich. Weekend brunch is also available, and served until 3 PM for those who took full advantage of the local nightlife the evening before. If you want a true local favourite, be sure to visit Mother’s Restaurant across the street, a New Orleans icon known for its po’boy sandwiches.

Although you’ll likely be spending your time out exploring the city, there’s also a fair bit to do right at the hotel. Squeeze in a workout in the 24-hour fitness centre, then swing by the hosted evening social hour for a free glass of wine or two between 5 and 6 PM. Complimentary bicycle rentals are available if you prefer to explore the city on two wheels.
