The boutique Q&C Hotel is a modern upper-middle-range property located within walking distance of the French Quarter that features smart, steampunk-style decor with exposed pipes, brick walls, and a hip vibe that attracts young, trendy tourists. Its 196 rooms are small, but comfortable and modern, outfitted with chic decor and modern conveniences like Keurig coffeemakers and free Wi-Fi.

Scene
Modern boutique hotel with hip and trendy steampunk decor
Exposed ceiling pipes, brick walls, tufted leather couches, and industrial-style lighting fixtures set the steampunk mood in the hip and atmospheric lobby of the Q&C hotel. The space is filled with seating, and it's home to a popular bar, which enhances the distinctly hip vibe and attracts a young crowd of trendy tourists. The property is divided across two buildings, one of them historic with a renovated stone facade. Hallways are painted black and gray, with glass chandeliers and gilt-framed decorative mirrors hung salon-style on the walls.
Location
Located downtown in the warehouse and arts district, just south of the French Quarter
While the immediately surrounding blocks of this downtown area are populated by commercial buildings that empty out at night, the French Quarter is just a ten-minute walk away. The location is often cited as far enough to be peaceful, yet close enough to easily access all the action. There are a couple of restaurants in the vicinity, with many more a short walk away near Canal and Bourbon Street. The convention center is a 15-minute walk away. The nearest bus stop is a block away and Canal Street is three blocks from the hotel, where guests will find several trams. There's a bus five blocks from the hotel that leads directly to the airport (one hour total travel time).
Rooms
Ultra chic, comfortable rooms with modern amenities and bathrooms
Navy and white toile-style wallpaper and exposed brick walls appear throughout these stylish and modern rooms, which feature touches like mechanical alarm clocks, chic leather-covered headboards, and reclaimed wood furniture. Rooms preserve the original interior architecture of the building, so layouts and design vary. (Many rooms are fairly small, but comfortable.) But all are equipped with work desks, large flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. Stylish, modern bathrooms feature white subway tiles, ceramic or marble vanities, and walk-in rainfall showers, plus wall-mounted pump dispensers of Gilchrist & Soames products. Larger rooms also include sitting areas and some feature skyline views, though certain rooms lack views and have frosted glass windows.
Features
Lobby bar with food menu, 24-hour fitness center, stylish meeting rooms, and free Wi-Fi

The hotel has several meeting rooms and event spaces, and there's also a small fitness center equipped with exercise bikes, treadmills, and weights. Filtered water stations are available throughout the hotel for guests' use. Wi-Fi is free and valet parking is available, plus there's self parking in a nearby lot. The hotel is pet friendly.
