The Pontchartrain Hotel does not feature an on-site gym or swimming pool. Instead, guests enjoy free use of a nearby fitness center, keeping with the hotel's boutique, adults-oriented character as a historic Garden District property rather than a resort-style destination.

Is The Pontchartrain Hotel a good base for exploring Magazine Street?

Yes, Magazine Street's boutiques, dining, and shopping are just a 10-minute, 0.4-mile walk from The Pontchartrain Hotel, making it one of the easiest nearby activities for guests looking to explore local shops and galleries on foot.

The Pontchartrain Hotel is best suited to adult travelers, with a minimum check-in age of 21 and an atmosphere geared toward a boutique, adults-oriented experience in the historic Garden District. Outdoor terraces and balconies are also not necessarily suitable for children, so this historic property is better suited to grown-up getaways than family vacations.

What historic sites can guests visit near The Pontchartrain Hotel?

Guests of The Pontchartrain Hotel can easily reach Lafayette Cemetery, known for its above-ground tombs, about 0.6 miles away, as well as the National WWII Museum, roughly a 15-minute walk, and Mardi Gras World, where visitors can see parade floats being built.

Are beach day trips possible from The Pontchartrain Hotel?
