Another satisfying stay at Kimpton.
Kimpton is about atmosphere and the Fontenot does not disappoint. The staff are the caretakers of the atmosphere and they all did a good job making sure we enjoyed our stay. The lobby cress was superb and the cleaning staff was efficient. A great location for enjoying and exploring N'Orlens.

Best hotel I have stayed at yet!
We loved our stay! We visited NOLA for a Taylor Swift concert. The hotel went all out with Swift themed happenings and little goodie bags. The entire staff was beyond friendly, even during a crazy rush of guests. Valet was soooo helpful, sweet and sprinkled with good humor. The vibe of the hotel was so cool! Our room was very spacious and cute. We had brunch in the attached restaurant. Our server was very sweet. Coffee from the little coffee shop, the guys working were so fun! Even going as far as introducing themselves before taking our order. Personal touches were everywhere and I've never felt more welcome! My daughter says this hotel gets 1,000 stars. We will be back again!

Taylor Swift Concert!!!
It was a great stay & the hotel did an amazing job as it was the Taylor Swift concert weekend. Funny though they served us drinks in a globe & wanted the globe back after we drank the drink! Not a good look!!! Other then that we loved it there!!! Will be back!

Can’t wait to go back for a longer trip.
We stayed here for two nights as we were boarding the Carnival Cruise on Monday 9/30.. They allowed us to check in early as we were 6 hours before checkin but my husband hadn’t slept in over 24 hours. We then went to Bourbon Street and Canal Street and did a lot of walking. We were always greeted with smile and warm welcome. Loved the iced lemon cucumber water available in the lobby. The only negative we had was the overpriced stocked fridge and snack items.

Gem in the Heart of NOLA
This hotel was so well maintained. I wish we could have taken advantage of more of the amenities but we were only there for just a short stay. Nothing was dated about this property and we would definitely return, close to the action but far enough to be able to get a good nights sleep!
