The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

The hotel staff were cordial and pleasant, and always helpful when I had a question. The housekeepers were always quick to move their carts so I could pass in the hallway without my asking. One man - Housekeeping? Maintenance? - always had a broad grin for me and gave me many Mardi Gras beads that had been abandoned in rooms. They all made me feel welcome. I appreciated the unique character and personality of the building and I enjoyed the art gallery. I was able to easily walk to good restaurants in the immediate area and to the French Quarter.

The hotel has a super cool vibe and we loved all the art and the brick. Make sure you check that you're getting a room with actual windows to the outdoors if that's important to you (I had to cancel and rebook one with actual windows as we would have been claustrophobic). The front desk staff were all fantastic to deal with and even helped us figure out a super impromptu trip to a broadway musical (Mrs. Doubtfire which was amazing!). The beds were comfortable and the room was clean for the most part. I feel like the rooms were a decent value for what you get. You're in walking distance of quite a bit if you want to stroll. I appreciated that the entrance to the building and the elevators all required your key card given that the area didn't feel the safest.

Incredibly stylish. The Old.No. 77 has curated a particular niche very well. NOLA is a place you want to belong to and the 77 lets you feel in on the cool. The front staff were very welcoming, recommended restaurants, and calling us a taxi! The artsy doesn't end at the door. It's in the painted pipes and the little touches. Wander the halls and see! We were very impressed with the conditions in both room and restaurant. Not a speck of dust, even on exposed pipes. Bathroom was immaculate and adorable. Great shower and doors. The bed was lovely and windows huge. The crowds were right there but the heavy soft curtains blocked all street light and muffled noise. The added metal tray with custom-picked bar items, snacks, and cute romance pack was inspired, and the prices fair. The Old 77 lives up to all hype. There are hotels all over the city, and you can't go wrong on location in this city, but the Old No 77 really is special. We'll be back. Compete Lupin is a gem! The staff described each dish lovingly, and recommended food and paired wines just right. The fried chicken and creamy grits put a spell on my Southern husband.

The location The room was kinda different but I liked it Front desk staff was really nice
