A cherished landmark in the historic Garden District of New Orleans, The Pontchartrain Hotel has been satisfying the desires of its discerning guests since the 1920s. With our beautiful, historic location and longstanding tradition of hospitality, The Pontchartrain Hotel truly is the heart and soul of New Orleans ... whether you're a first-time guest or making a return visit, we look forward to welcoming you! Over the years, the hotel's portals have welcomed dignitaries, royalty, diplomats and stars of stage and screen. To preserve this wonderful guest history, a number of our more illustrious guests have graciously allowed us to attach their names to some of our guest rooms and suites ... and frequent guests have had suites decorated in their own distinctive styles. For every guest, the Pontchartrain offers the subtle ambience of a small European inn, a refreshing change from ordinary accommodations. Today the Pontchartrain Hotel remains a testimonial to the tradition of impeccable taste and attention to detail. Always luxurious but never ostentatious, the Pontchartrain exudes warmth from the moment you enter the lobby. Our undertaking of a multi-million dollar renovation program assures the continuation of this legendary institution's outstanding reputation as one of the great hotels of the world.
