The Renaissance New Orleans Pere Marquette offers a historic location in the French Quarter, appealing to guests seeking a blend of old-world charm and modern luxury. While praised for its convenient location, friendly staff, and delicious on-site restaurant, persistent maintenance issues and inconsistent service, particularly at the VIP lounge, are recurring concerns.

The stayed in the Executive king suite. Overkill for a couple but absolutely beautiful room. Clean and comfortable. You can see the age showing but I think it’s part of the charm. It doesn’t have a pool which kinda sucks. But they loose 1 star for the very neglected VIP lounge. Seems like staff never ho on there. Coffee machine keeps on needing some sort of service. Only snack available is voodoo chips and your drink choice is coke/sprite or water. And and nowhere to sit, not much of a lounge. The hotel bar seems to be closed and coffee shop closed every time we walked past, just so much lobby space waisted that can make this hotel so much nicer. Food at the restaurant attached to hotel is great. Dinner was absolutely fantastic. Service not the greatest but food definitely made up for it.

This is a long review but please read. The hotel is great and in an excellent location. My room was spacious and clean. I was traveling by myself and I arrived late, I did not want to have to venture out to get something to eat, the front desk recommended the on site restaurant, The Tacklebox. They were serving food until 11. I said great and headed down the hall to the restaurant. I was a little reluctant when I entered the dining room and there was no one there. I was instructed to order at the bar. I looked at the menu and decided on the Chicken and Waffles with help from the server/bartender I decided to keep the bacon in the waffle as advertised . I placed my order and was very pleased with the price. It being in the French Quarter and in a hotel, my meal was under $20. After a short wait, I was given a cute little box and went up to my room to eat. I was amazed at how good the food was. The chicken was a fresh, obviously handbattered juicy piece of meat. My waffle was pure fluffy deliciousness with real pieces of bacon sprinkled throughout. I will book at this hotel again just for the opportunity to eat there again. Another highlight of my stay was the valet staff. If you have ever tried to park an SUV with a 3rd row in a French Quarter parking garage, you may understand why valet is a necessity that really hits you in the pocketbook. The Valet Staff here is excellent. I had to go in and out several time throughout my stay and the service was always fast and courteous. Dave helped me several times and he can only be described as a very fine young gentleman. All of the Valet Staff I encountered pleasant and helpful, even offering tips for navigating the crazy NOLA streets during a flash flood. The hotel staff were nice and the bed was comfortable but the Restaurant on one end and the people taking care of my car on the other end definitely contributed significantly to my stay. PS…. I did have a little hiccup with my room but it wasn’t enough to even warrant the loss of a star and Management listened to my long compliment and complaint and addressed the matter in A very customer friendly way. I am already looking to book my next room here.

Dear Marriott Customer Care, I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the experience I had upon arrival at your hotel. My concern is not simply that certain benefits may or may not have been available at the property; rather, it is the front desk employee’s apparent lack of understanding of Marriott Bonvoy elite benefits and her refusal to acknowledge them when they were brought to her attention. During check-in, the front desk employee did not explain any of the benefits associated with my Marriott Bonvoy status. When I inquired about room upgrades, she immediately stated that upgrades were not available unless I paid for them. This response itself suggested that upgraded room categories were available, yet there was no attempt to review whether a complimentary elite upgrade was applicable under Marriott’s program benefits. Similarly, I was informed that I would not receive complimentary breakfast or any breakfast-related benefit. However, after speaking directly with Marriott Bonvoy customer service, I was advised that because a buffet breakfast was not offered at this property, an alternative food and beverage credit should be provided. This directly contradicted the information I was given at the front desk. What is most concerning is that the employee did not appear to understand the benefits associated with Marriott Bonvoy elite status and dismissed them outright rather than verifying the information. This was not a matter of availability or hotel discretion being explained to me. Instead, it was a matter of a front desk representative incorrectly stating that benefits did not exist or were not applicable, without making any effort to review the program terms or seek clarification. As a loyal Marriott guest, I expect front desk staff to have a basic understanding of the elite benefits that Marriott advertises and uses to encourage guest loyalty. Even if a specific benefit cannot be provided due to property limitations or availability, it should be accurately explained and acknowledged.

Victor front desk check-in was absolutely ? spot on. The coffee shop was good. The room 19th floor great view of the river. The room was nice, beds comfortable, bathroom large. The age of the building is showing, still has original windows, caulking is cracked and been painted quite a few times. I would stay here again.

The Pere Marquette is a stunning property! I loved how they’ve preserved the historic character of this landmark building while incorporating such a vibrant, jazz-inspired modern design. The rooms are beautiful, with high ceilings and artistic touches that make the stay feel truly unique. It’s the perfect blend of Old World New Orleans and contemporary luxury. 5 stars for the style and the soul!

This hotel is in a great location. Our check in was quick and easy. Hostess, Trinette Monnie made us feel like family our entire stay. The lobby bartender, Sarah was fantastic and very friendly. Good drinks too. The bartender in the restaurant, Sam was easy going and pleasant to talk with. Very helpful too. The spinach dip was great. The rooms are ok, but clean. Nothing special. The rooms could use more lighting especially the bathroom. Housekeeping very friendly and accommodating. Loved hanging out in the bar/lobby sipping cocktails while it rained. Truly enjoyed our stay.

Overall this was a good stay, with a few logistical quirks worth knowing ahead of time. The biggest challenge is the parking and check-in situation. The parking garage entrance is on a one-way street just before the hotel. If you arrive early and aren’t sure whether you’ll be able to check in yet, you can’t access the garage until you’ve completed check-in. If they do have a room ready for you, you’ll end up looping the block through some pretty heavy traffic just to circle back to the garage. For reference, the garage clearance is listed at 78 inches, and our full-size Ford Expedition with roof crossbars was able to clear it without issue. Parking pricing was a little confusing. Depending on whether you look at the website, parking coupon, or posted signage, there seem to be three different prices listed. I’m still not entirely sure which rate actually applied. That said, the valet staff were excellent. Our vehicle was returned in under five minutes, which was impressive. The lobby staff were also fantastic — very friendly, quick to get us checked in early, and even offered a late checkout. The location is excellent, with an easy walk into the French Quarter. One small suggestion for the hotel: considering how often it rains in New Orleans, it would be helpful if they either sold inexpensive umbrellas or offered some to borrow with a deposit against the room. Also worth noting — the meter enforcement on that block is very active. During our one-night stay we saw parking enforcement writing tickets three different times, so definitely don’t risk leaving a vehicle parked illegally on the street. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. The only slightly amusing downside was looking out the window at the rooftop pool of the neighboring hotel and feeling a little jealous. Overall, a comfortable stay with great staff and a great location — just be prepared for the parking logistics.

The staff were excellent! The rooms were seriously lacking. The AC barely blew & could not cool the room. The 4 pillows were the equivalent to laying your head on pillow cases & the mattress was the equivalent of a slab of concrete. The bathtub drain was stopped up & it was a shower/foot pool every shower. The towels & wash rags felt like sand paper. Also the vallet charged me for an oversized vehicle even though I drive a small Ford bronco sport. The tackle box restaurant that is connected to the hotel has excellent food & service & the staff are super friendly & knowledgeable! Will not be staying here again. The only upside to this hotel stay is that I'm now engaged to the love of my life!

From the time we checked in until the time we checked out, our stay here was basically perfect. We stayed in an Executive King room which was very comfortable. The hotel is surrounded by great places to eat. It's a block from Canal Street and about two blocks from Bourbon street. Everything is within walking distance so we never drove once we were settled in. The staff was always courteous and helpful. We didn't need much assistance, but all of our interactions were great. We really enjoyed this trip and we're definitely planning on coming back.

It was clean and rooms were a nice size. Staff was friendly and I loved the grab and go for the water and snack at no additional charge. Very close to everything. I would stay again.
