Tradition with a Twist

A Boutique Hotel in New Orleans

Warm, laidback luxury in New Orleans

In a city where every street has a story and every tradition comes with a little improvisation, Kimpton Hotel Fontenot offers a New Orleans stay with its own distinctive rhythm. Our sophisticated lobby living room sets the tone with an understated sense of elegance, while guest rooms provide a calm, contemporary retreat from the city’s spirited energy.

Of course, Fontenot is never too buttoned up. Our calendar keeps things lively with events spanning art, music, comedy, and more, while Peacock Room brings the drama with bold design, bespoke cocktails, and a setting made for lingering. At Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treatseven your coffee or custard can come with a playful New Orleans twist.

Located in the heart of downtown, Kimpton Hotel Fontenot puts you close to the city’s festival-filled streets, live music, fresh seafood, and unmistakable joie de vivre. Here, we honor the past while adding our own point of view — refined, irreverent, and unmistakably New Orleans.
