Very unique aesthetic even for New Orleans. This place feels special. It’s conveniently located away from the French quarter but close enough to anything you’d like to get to. Street parking only which wasn’t an issue during my stay - surrounding area is residential so I wouldn’t expect this to change much. The service is what stood out most to me. Everyone went out of their way to ensure guests felt welcome and accommodated. I’d highly recommend this spot for couples or anyone looking for a unique stay outside the crowded quarter.

Caesar was amazing. I live in the south and I am used to southern hospitality but he took it took a new level. He met us at our car outside of the hotel to make sure we parked in the right spot; carries in our luggage; brought us up a welcome drink to our room while we were getting settled before we went to Taylor Swift concert. He told us places to go after that were a lot of fun. Definitely made our trip more enjoyable!!

This property is a top tier property — from the moment I parked, literally Mia assisted me from my car to my room and carried my bag for me. Any need or request I had was immediately met. The atmosphere is on another level. I’m a person who books a hotel based on how it looks. The pictures of this place won me over but have nothing on the beauty and design in person. It is stunning— the pool area, the room itself, the lobby, all of it was so gorgeous. The staff was superb as well. I can’t say enough! 10 out of 5 stars!!

If you're looking for a hidden oasis in New Orleans, look no further than the Blackbird Hotel—a gem that redefines luxury boutique accommodations. When you step through the doors, you're enveloped in an atmosphere that effortlessly combines elegance with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. The hotel’s design is nothing short of spectacular. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated to create a chic and inviting ambiance. The decor showcases a perfect blend of modern sophistication and classic charm, with lush textures and striking art pieces that make every corner of the hotel a visual delight. One of the standout features is the pool and bar area. The pool is a serene retreat, surrounded by stylish loungers and lush greenery, creating a tranquil escape from the city's hustle. The space exudes relaxation and luxury, whether enjoying a lazy afternoon swim or soaking up the sun. The adjacent bar is equally impressive, offering a menu of expertly crafted cocktails that perfectly complement the hotel's sophisticated atmosphere. The music that fills the hotel adds to the vibrant yet laid-back ambiance.The atmosphere here is about savoring life's finer moments in a setting that feels exclusive and incredibly inviting, making you feel like a privileged guest. However, what truly distinguishes the Blackbird Hotel is its staff. They are attentive and personable, and genuinely caring, going the extra mile to ensure that every guest feels like a cherished member of the Blackbird family.
