The Lounge takes its name from photographer E.J. Bellocq, who secretly photographed the madams of pre-prohibition New Orleans.

“Mostly good but missing some basics”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

First and foremost, we found this hotel to be in a good location. There is a "trolley" stop just about opposite the hotel, and Bourbon Street and Canal Street and close enough to walk to. As the name suggests, the decor is cool and trendy and was clean overall. We booked into a Small King Room via Expedia...the bedroom was... More

“Average Hotel, but great restaurant and bar”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

This place just got refurbed and it is now acceptable. The rooms are small and not fancy, but it is charming in a southern sort of way. I would give this place a 2 star rating, but Tivoli and Lee(restaurant) and Bellocq(bar) are superb. I would stay here again for the sole purpose of not having to walk to the... More

“Strong hotel in great location”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We know New Orleans moderately well and did not want to be in the Quarter but wanted to be able to walk to anything easily. The Hotel Modern was a good fit. It is a stylish recently renovated place with a hipster feel (not cloyingly). The room was very clean, nice but compact. Small rooms don't bug us in the... More

“Trying way too hard and missing the basics”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

We stayed here during the Jazz festival in May. It had rained slightly during the day so it was next to impossible to get close enough to the sidewalk to bring in our luggage. Next we looked for the reception desk and were noticed by someone standing by a table with a carafe of water and another with rum punch.... More

“Great staff, fantastic welcoming bar!”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

In a terrific part of New Orleans, near all of the new museums is The Hotel Modern. Very reasonably priced for what was a very simple room, but had all the amenities one would need. The staff makes up for anything that might be lacking and they are knowledgable. This is not a hotel for kids, but for relaxed adults... More

“Our last night in New Orleans”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

We walked a long distance across town to spend the last night at the Hotel Modem which is very near the railway station. Our room provided us with a grand stand view of the Mardi Gras procession but it must have been very well sound proofed as there was no noise problem. The staff were all friendly and helpful and...

“Decent hotel”

Stayed at the larger room in March for a conference, taking the tram/trolley to the French Quarter each day, love it! Hotel facility was ok, staff was friendly, room was clean. However, safe in room not worked, a technician came and fixed it, took nearly an hour. Coffee machine did not work and no refill of capsules or cups some... More

“Good hotel choice -- know what you're getting”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

As many reviews say, location is important for the hotel. It's not in the middle of everything, but it's close enough. It's a 10-minute walk to the Convention Center -- not nearly as close as the major brand hotels, but really no problem. And a slightly longer walk to the French Quarter. The hotel is quirky. Chain mail in the... More

This hotel was wonderful! The rooms were nice, comfortable and quite. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
