Bienville House Hotel Review

Located near the Mississippi River, on a sliver of land between Decatur and N. Peters streets, the Bienville House is convenient to most attractions in the Quarter and CBD. Lovely guest rooms are furnished with antiques and reproduction pieces; some have balconies overlooking the courtyard pool. If you stay in one of the top-floor rooms, you'll have access to a gorgeous sundeck. The in-house Restaurant Iris is one of the best-kept secrets in the Quarter.

    We stayed for 5 nights last fall. The room was large, staff pleasant, and location would be hard to beat. Mid-week rates are competitive with anyone. Planning to return this fall.
