Place d'arms or Hotel St. Marie

Okay, So I%26#39;ve reserved both hotels and can%26#39;t decide. I know they are owned by the same company but the reviews seem to be better for the St. Marie. Although it seems like alot of people here love the Place d%26#39;arms.

Any help will be much appreciated!!!

thanks!

Place d'arms or Hotel St. Marie

It depends on what restaurants and what you plan to do as our choice for location is the Place D%26#39;armes for closeness to Muriel%26#39;s, Jackson Square, cafe dumonde,irene%26#39;s, stella, french market,coops, funky pirate, fritzels, maison bourbon, preservation hall, yo mama%26#39;s etc etc.

Place d'arms or Hotel St. Marie

I don%26#39;t see a significant difference between the two hotels, and the Place d%26#39;Armes location is excellent, so I would go with that hotel.

I%26#39;ve stayed at both and they are both above average. I would choose the Place d%26#39;Armes simply for the location.

Depends how much you want to be involved with Bourbon and what restaraunts you prefer. Both are beautiful and fairly alike. I prefer the Place because it puts me at Jackson Square and close to the shops and eating places we prefer. It is quieter at night. If it matters to you, going into the St Marie in the evening wil require you to cross Bourbon. May not be a big deal for some, but we found it loud and irritating. The Place also has a larger courtyard.

I have not stayed at Place d%26#39;arms, I can say the St.Marie rooms were bigger than we expected for the quarter, always clean, no in room safe, always helpful staff, we enjoyed the noise, hustle and bustle of being within in a stones throw of Bourbon St. :) Enjoy your stay whatever you choose.

What is the parking situation for both of these hotels?

Both offer parking as well as 24-hour valet, but charges apply. There are few places that offer free parking nowadays in the Quarter. Sometimes you can get deals with these hotels that include parking, though.

both are great boutique style hotels with great locations. If you want to be really close to Bourbon st, I would go with the St Marie. It%26#39;s literally steps to Bourbon-which makes it real easy for a late night stumble back to the hotel. If you%26#39;d like to have a little distance from the craziness of Bourbon, then go with the Place. It is an amazing central location, which is great throughout the day. Either way, both are great choices. Enjoy!!!

i also vote the Place D%26#39;Armes since I love the location in Jackson Square-still close to all the action on Bourbon, but just a liiiiiiiittttlllle bit more sedate.

have a blast!

We visited in March with a 90+ year old gentleman. We stayed at the Place and asked for a room to be reached by elevator due to this. The Place was an easier walk to the Square and Cafe du Monde for him. Also central to alot of good eats. Also parking on site for a daily fee.

Was great as far as location. Even have a couple leather chairs and small library are facing St. Ann (where cont breakfast is served) for him to sit and people watch and read if tired. The courtyard also was nice if he needed to sit a spell.

He was happy with locale for his first visit to Nola

The staff were very kind to him and even offered him a ride to Pat O%26#39;s one night as it was shift change for them.
