Quick Verdict: The Pontchartrain Hotel vs Hotel Saint Vincent

When The Pontchartrain Hotel wins: choose The Pontchartrain if you want a historic Garden District address, multiple distinctive in-house dining and bar venues (including a 21+ rooftop with skyline views), preferred access to those venues, and direct streetcar access to the French Quarter and CBD.

When Hotel Saint Vincent wins: pick Hotel Saint Vincent if you prefer a smaller, design-led boutique with an outdoor pool, on-site Mediterranean dining (San Lorenzo), and immediate proximity to Magazine Street shopping and cafes.

Bottom line: both sit outside the French Quarter and work well as boutique alternatives in the Garden District orbit — Pontchartrain is the classic, nightlife-forward historic option; Hotel Saint Vincent is the modern, Magazine Street–adjacent choice with a pool.

A Look Inside The Pontchartrain Hotel

The Pontchartrain Hotel: rooms & suitesRooms & suitesThe Pontchartrain Hotel: diningDining
See all photos →

Location: Garden District character vs Magazine Street access

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Location

The Pontchartrain sits directly on St. Charles Avenue with a streetcar stop in front, placing you in the historic Garden District between uptown and downtown.

  • Streetcar stop directly outside for easy rides to the French Quarter and CBD (15–20 minutes to the edge of the Quarter).
  • About a 10-minute (0.4 mi) walk to Magazine Street shopping and dining.
  • Nearby walking attractions include Lafayette Cemetery and the National WWII Museum within about a 15–20 minute walk.

Best if you prioritize historic streets, streetcar access, and proximity to both uptown and downtown.

Hotel Saint Vincent – Location

Hotel Saint Vincent is in the Lower Garden District, literally steps from Magazine Street’s shops and restaurants.

  • Address: 1507 Magazine St — immediate access to Magazine Street retail and cafes.
  • Within roughly 0.7–1.2 km of the National WWII Museum and the Mississippi River (supplier distances).
  • Short walk or quick drive to central New Orleans sights; near convention center and museums per supplier listing.

Best if you want to be on Magazine Street with quick walking access to local boutiques and cafes.

Rooms: historic suites vs modern design

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Rooms

Pontchartrain’s rooms mix period details with modern updates across several suite types.

  • 106 rooms and suites, including named Superior and Two-Room suites (Thalia, Melpomene, Polyhymnia).
  • Many rooms have private bars; room service is not available.
  • Rooms are in a restored 1920s building with a major renovation completed in 2016.

Pick Pontchartrain for larger historic suites and an in-room bar rather than traditional room service.

Hotel Saint Vincent – Rooms

Hotel Saint Vincent offers a range of contemporary room types and suites geared toward design and comfort.

  • 75 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, memory-foam beds, LED TVs and designer toiletries.
  • Room types include Superior Suite, Studio (Sister), multiple king and queen room variants, and named suites (Mary, Veranda).
  • Complimentary Wi‑Fi and select in-room amenities are standard; private bathrooms have designer toiletries.

Choose Hotel Saint Vincent for design-forward, amenity-packed rooms and a smaller, more intimate footprint.

Dining & drinks: four distinct Pontchartrain venues vs Saint Vincent’s Mediterranean focus

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Dining & drinks

The Pontchartrain runs four distinct food-and-drink venues on site, covering breakfast through late-night cocktails.

  • Jack Rose (Italian/French/Spanish–influenced dinner and weekend brunch).
  • Bayou Bar serves Creole fare and live jazz (Tue–Sat) in a tavern setting.
  • Silver Whistle Cafe offers breakfast daily; Hot Tin is a rooftop cocktail-only bar (21+).

Pontchartrain suits travelers who want a varied food-and-drink program without leaving the hotel.

Hotel Saint Vincent – Dining & drinks

Hotel Saint Vincent centers dining around Mediterranean-influenced San Lorenzo and has additional on-site bars and a cafe.

  • San Lorenzo is the hotel’s Mediterranean restaurant (on-site).
  • Two bars/lounges and a coffee shop/cafe provide daytime and evening options.
  • Cooked-to-order breakfast is available for a surcharge; room service is available (limited hours reported by supplier).

Hotel Saint Vincent is a good pick if you want contemporary dining and a quieter in-hotel restaurant offering.

Pools & outdoor amenities: none vs a courtyard pool

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Pools & outdoor amenities

The Pontchartrain does not have an on-site swimming pool and instead offers neighborhood access and a rooftop bar.

  • No on-site pool — noted by independent sources and hotel materials.
  • Rooftop Hot Tin provides outdoor drinking space and city views (21+).
  • Amenity fee gives access to a nearby gym rather than in-hotel fitness facilities.

Avoid Pontchartrain if an on-site pool or in-hotel fitness center is a must for your trip.

Hotel Saint Vincent – Pools & outdoor amenities

Hotel Saint Vincent provides an outdoor pool and terrace space for guests.

  • Supplier listing notes one outdoor pool and a terrace area.
  • Pool access includes accessibility features (pool hoist on site listed).
  • Free use of a nearby fitness center is advertised in the supplier listing.

Hotel Saint Vincent is the better choice when an outdoor pool and outdoor hotel leisure space matter.

Wellness & nightlife: rooftop views and live jazz vs on-site spa and relaxed nights

The Pontchartrain Hotel – Wellness & nightlife

Pontchartrain leans into nightlife with live jazz at Bayou Bar and rooftop craft cocktails at Hot Tin.

  • Bayou Bar has live jazz Tuesday–Saturday and a lively tavern atmosphere.
  • Hot Tin is a 14th-floor rooftop bar with 270-degree views and late hours (Fri–Sat to 2 AM).
  • No on-site spa; guests use a partner gym (Franco’s) via the amenity fee.

Pick Pontchartrain if on-site music and late-night cocktails are part of your plan.

Hotel Saint Vincent – Wellness & nightlife

Hotel Saint Vincent offers on-site spa services and a quieter, design-focused evening experience.

  • Spa services are available on site (reservations recommended per the supplier listing).
  • Two bars/lounges provide evening options without the hotel being centered on loud nightlife.
  • Hotel positions itself as a fashionable, comfortable base for Magazine Street evenings.

Choose Hotel Saint Vincent for in-house spa treatments and more subdued evenings near Magazine Street.
