Hotel Wedding Room Blocks in New Orleans

A wedding room block at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot reserves a set of guest rooms for your wedding guests in advance. Guests book within the block using your group link or code, receive your negotiated rate, and stay together in New Orleans throughout the celebration. Our group sales team sets up the block and manages the details for you.

A room block keeps friends and family together under one roof, simplifies travel planning, and gives guests access to a preferred discounted group rate. It also puts everyone steps from the Warehouse District, the French Quarter and the Mississippi riverfront — and just an elevator ride from your wedding events at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot.

It depends on your guest count, how many are traveling from out of town, and your wedding dates. Most couples start with rooms for roughly a third of their invited guests. There typically is a minimum number of rooms which varies by date and season. Our New Orleans group sales team can help you right-size the block based on your guest list and season.
