Bottom Line

The mid-range Grenoble House is a charming hotel that draws couples and families seeking a central location in the French Quarter and near Bourbon Street. The hotel has a pool in an attractive outdoor courtyard, a gift shop in the lobby, and a limited free breakfast. Its 17 large suites are homey and include separate living rooms and full-size kitchens. But the furniture throughout is somewhat dated, and guest should note that they must leave their keys with the front desk when leaving the hotel. Travelers seeking a more style-conscious hotel in the same area with additional amenities may want to consider the Dauphine Orleans Hotel.

Grenoble House

Scene

A charming historic hotel with a central attractive courtyard 

Built in the 1800s, this charming hotel was named after the city of Grenoble, France. The hotel's facade is maroon with yellow trim, while exterior walls facing the courtyards are powder blue with white trim. A lovely central courtyard has wrought-iron tables and chairs, stone walkways, a pool, and a variety of potted plants. The lobby has boldly colored emerald-green walls, dated flower-print couches and chairs, pale pink drapes, Oriental rugs, and antique wooden furniture. The look recalls a grandmother's drawing room. Guests should note that there's no elevator in this three-floor building. Most guests are couples seen congregating on the outdoor terrace, though with large studio apartment-style rooms, it’s popular among families too.

Location

Located in the French Quarter and within walking distance of popular attractions

Grenoble House is located in the French Quarter and is a two-minute walk to Bourbon Street. (Guests have noted that they do not hear noise from the famously boisterous street, despite its proximity.) Jackson Square is an 11-minute walk away, and the riverfront Woldenberg Park is only 10 minutes on foot. For families, the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas is a 14-minute walk. There are a variety of dining options on surrounding streets and even more within a five-minute walk south. The closest street car stop is a four-minute walk away. Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is about a half-hour drive away.

Rooms

Homey apartment-style suites with full-size kitchens, living rooms, and separate bedrooms

The suites at Grenoble House resemble apartments with their spacious separate living rooms and full-size kitchens. Suites range from one to two bedrooms and can have up to three beds, or even four if the living room has a pullout couch. In terms of decor, color schemes vary, but suites have a consistently homey vibe. Many of them feature antique wooden furniture with four-poster or sleigh beds, though some of the items are a bit dated, like the framed '80s-style prints and artwork as well as overstuffed couches and chairs with floral prints. The kitchen has modern full-size appliances like stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, toasters, and dishwashers. Silverware and dishes are provided, as is free bottled water in the fridge. Bathrooms, painted in pastel colors, are not overly spacious, though include shower/tub combos, free toiletries, and hairdryers. Some two-bedroom suites have the option of two bathrooms.

Features

Swimming pool, free breakfast, and a gift shop

Grenoble House has an attractive outdoor terrace with tables and chairs and a small swimming pool, though some guests have complained about cleanliness issues with the pool.

There’s a gift shop in the lobby that sells New Orleans-themed items. On-site parking is not available, but the hotel suggests a parking garage located a block away which has a fairly reasonable fee compared to most garages in the area. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
