I read some of the negative reviews before writing to see what others had issues about and my husband and I encountered none of them. Loved the staff, we even ran into one of them later in the evening in the quarter. The room was beautiful facing the circle with no noise issues what so ever! The beds are comfy... More

Found this gem on Hotel Tonight. The check-in is a little quirky (in a good way) there's no "front desk". Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Check-in was seamless. Had a room on 10 th floor; very quiet and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Perfect location on St. Charles Ave at Lee Circle. Walked across the... More

We stayed at The Hotel Modern from June 2nd thru June 5th... We were on the 9th floor, very quiet and convenient location - walked right across the street to catch the street car! I could not imagine staying at one of the hotels "downtown" with all the noise... Very helpful at the front desk on where to go and... More

The price and area was perfect for us! My husband and I like to walk around a city to explore and it was a great starting point. The check-in process is a little weird and its not going to appeal to everyone because it is so modern. It can be too modern for good customer service. Small rooms are like... More

I stayed at the Hotel Modern over Christmas 2012. It is perfectly situated between the Garden District and Downtown/French Quarter. My boyfriend and I love walking, so it was a great base for us. There is a grocery store nearby, and mini-fridges in the rooms. The boutique hotel idea is great; I wasn't bothered by no front desk (and I... More

I would like to take this time to acknowledge a housman who went above and beyond to give me A1 quality service during my stay. His name was Andre Skeleton. I asked him his name to write this review so I hope he doesn't think he's in trouble. But I must say that was the best and I will be... More

Our first stay but definetly not our last. The quirkiness of the 'boutique' was a plus to us. No front desk was not a problem and the free refreshment(choice of alcohalic or non) after a day of travel was certainly an unexpected pleasure. Although there were MINOR problems with the a shade not working (I repaired), the bedding was a... More

Stayed here recently during Memorial Day, got in very late after delayed flights and was greeted by the most unconcerned hostess ever! She had an attitude saying she was new and clearly didn't know how to work the credit card machine. They really do disappear with your cc which is a little unnerving but I was advised they are in...

I booked our stay with a Groupon. I had no problems checking in, was greeted right away. Scarlett, the bird in the lobby was very entertaining. Hotel has a very modern feel, but not cold. Room was comfortable, bed was great. I got one of the small rooms and it was plenty big. The price of the minibar items was... More

Checed in on sat may 25 at 8pm. Exterior is clean. Central hangout for bums accross the street at the statue, but not an issue with security, just a interesting fact. Convenient store on corner and trolly car access is very good. Overall safeness was not an issue even at midnight waiting for trolly. Noticed police were always at the... More

The Hotel Modern New Orleans welcomes you.

Each of our rooms feature a spacious layout to meet the needs of our busy and well-traveled guests, hand-picked modern yet comfortable furniture, and a selection from our private antique collection.

The Lounge takes its name from photographer E.J. Bellocq, who secretly photographed the madams of pre-prohibition New Orleans. It features a menu of original cocktail creations from Neal Bodenheimer, Kirk Estopinal and Matthew Kohnke,the founders of Cure, the new Orleans bar named one of “(The Best Bars in America” by Esquire Magazine. ... more   less
