Location: Garden District vs French Quarter

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Location

The Pontchartrain sits on St. Charles Avenue in the Garden District with a streetcar stop right outside.

  • Streetcar line runs to the CBD and the edge of the French Quarter in about 15–20 minutes.
  • Magazine Street shopping and Lafayette Cemetery are short walks away.
  • About 15 blocks (roughly a 20-minute streetcar ride) from the French Quarter.

Choose The Pontchartrain for a quieter Garden District base with direct streetcar access into downtown.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Location

Bourbon Orleans puts you steps from Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and many French Quarter attractions.

  • Centrally located: Royal Street, Bourbon Street, Jackson Square and Saint Louis Cathedral are within a few blocks.
  • Walking distance to French Market and Café du Monde (listed distances: 0.3–0.4 mi to some attractions).
  • Preferred airport is Louis Armstrong New Orleans Intl. (MSY).

Choose Bourbon Orleans for the shortest walks to French Quarter sights and Bourbon Street nightlife.

Rooms: styles and capacity

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Rooms

The Pontchartrain has 106 rooms and suites in a renovated 1927 building with several multi-bedroom suite options.

  • Room types include Standard Room, Deluxe Room, and multiple Superior Suites (Thalia Family Suite, Melpomene Two Bedroom Suite, Polyhymnia Two Room Suite).
  • Guestrooms include private in-room bars; room service is currently unavailable.
  • Free high-speed Wi‑Fi is included as part of the daily destination amenity fee.

Pick The Pontchartrain for characterful suites and multi-bedroom options in a smaller boutique property.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Rooms

  • Room names on the supplier listing include Standard Room, Deluxe King, various Petite/Deluxe King and Two Queen options, plus multiple suite/loft configurations.
  • Guestrooms have pillowtop beds, down comforters, designer toiletries and free wired and wireless internet.
  • Accessible rooms are available (e.g., Deluxe King ADA Guestroom).

Choose Bourbon Orleans if you want more room-type variety and standard hotel conveniences in the French Quarter.

Dining & drinks: on-site options

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Dining & drinks

The Pontchartrain offers four distinct venues from breakfast to late-night rooftop cocktails.

  • Jack Rose: ground-floor dinner and weekend brunch (Italian/French/Spanish-inspired).
  • Bayou Bar: tavern-style bar with Creole fare and live jazz Tue–Sat.
  • Silver Whistle Café: breakfast and coffee daily (7–11 AM).

The Pontchartrain is a good pick if you want multiple in-house dining venues and a rooftop cocktail experience.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Dining & drinks

Bourbon Orleans runs a full-service restaurant (Roux), a coffee shop, and a bar/lounge on site.

  • Roux offers brunch and cooked-to-order breakfasts (for a surcharge) and standard restaurant hours.
  • On-site bar/lounge available for evening drinks.
  • A coffee shop/cafe provides snacks and lighter fare.

Bourbon Orleans places you within the hotel’s own restaurant and bar but also a short walk from many Quarter dining choices.

Pools & signature amenity

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Pools & signature amenity

The Pontchartrain does not have an on-site swimming pool.

  • No on-site pool — some guests may find this a drawback in warmer months.
  • The hotel’s destination amenity fee includes access to local partner gym (Franco’s Gym).
  • Outdoor terraces and rooftop (Hot Tin) provide outdoor seating and views.

If an on-site pool is critical, The Pontchartrain is not the right choice.

  • The supplier listing notes one outdoor pool and free pool cabanas.
  • Pool umbrellas and sun loungers are listed among amenities.

  • Hot Tin rooftop bar is 21+ and operates into late hours (Fri–Sat to 2 AM).

  • No on-site spa or gym; daily access to Franco’s Gym included with fee.

Bourbon Orleans Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Bourbon Orleans provides fitness facilities and sits amid the Quarter’s nightlife.

  • Fitness facilities are listed among property amenities.
  • You are literally steps from Bourbon Street bars and Quarter nightlife outside the hotel.
