Hyatt Centric French Quarter New Orleans

Scene

A sprawling department store-turned-chain hotel with a chill vibe on bustling Bourbon Street 

Until 2008, D.H. Holmes department store was a landmark in the French Quarter, occupying an entire block on Canal and Bourbon Streets. Today, the historic building has found a new life as the Hyatt Centric French Quarter New Orleans, a massive hotel that benefits from its prior identity in the form of features like high ceilings, wide hallways, and large rooms that are hard to come by in modern chain hotels. While the building is historic, the interiors are all modern, with a subdued gray color palate that inspires relaxation.

The fact that the hotel has managed to create such a chill vibe is impressive given the fact that the hotel sits directly on pulsing Bourbon Street. The prime location means that guests are usually coming or going most times of the day and evening, with a mix of families and couples lounging in the lobby or at the restaurants and bars, which also draw a sizable crowd of non-hotel patrons. For guests who want more peace and quiet, there are a couple of nice interior courtyards that feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle outside. Even the main entrance, just a block away from Bourbon Street, is like an urban oasis, with its fountain, lush greenery, and brick walkways. For those seeking a modern, laid-back place to stay that’s close to all the action, the Hyatt Centric French Quarter is a great choice.
