  Beautiful hotel, comfortable beds, and great staff. Would recommend to everyone. The only downside is the stairs.

  This is a tough one I wanted to like it but it is not worth the price. We were scheduled to stay 6 nights we left after two. We chose a room with a balcony 6 months prior. The photos are not what we got. We had no windows in our room. It is literally across from the dungeon which is very loud at night, even the ear plugs they give wouldn’t help. The rooms are also above a vape shop so it smells like smoke and pot all day The courtyard is lovely but we couldn’t use it at all because it was raining, not hotels fault but there is literally no where to be except your room to sit then. No lobby etc No help with luggage and it’s all upstairs very steep stairs so no fun. It could be great place to visit the bar but that’s about it

  We just spent 3 days in Nola visiting our daughter and soaking up all the city has to offer! We chose The Celestine for something different as we’d tried out all sorts of other places over the years. The rooms were lovely, but the bar, the building and all that history about Tennessee Williams were a big bonus! And I have only great things to say about the staff who made our trip exceed expectations and made it, truly, one of the best travel experiences we’ve had in a while. Iakia was very friendly and professional welcoming and checking us in, offering us ice and coffee. When we got to our room and unpacked, we couldn’t turn the heat on. Turns out the radiator wasn’t working and Iakia and Alex tried to fix it but it was broken. Then they were incredibly gracious going out of the way to make up for the inconvenience - upgrading is to a spacious suite with living room and view of the fountain in the courtyard. Plus they gave us FOUR complimentary drink tickets! We were thrilled! When we got to the bar, we discovered that Alex was one of the main bartenders. Turns out, Alex Anderson is a celebrated bartender who has been perfecting drink recipes in some of the best Nola hangouts for 20 years! We had a fascinating convo about how she arrived at bartending and became a liquor aficionado well known in the FQ! The drinks she recommended were fabulous, and even came with some of the history of chartreuse, rum and vodka. Check out the Celestine bar and stay at the hotel so that you only need to go downstairs to enjoy your drinks and meet Alex! You, too, will enjoy Nola all the more!

  We absolutely loved our stay at the Celestine. The staff were friendly, we loved the atmosphere, the room was gorgeous, the complimentary coffee in the morning was great, and it was overall an amazing experience and we think the best hotel we've stayed in. We stayed in a courtyard room and the noise from bourbon street didn't bother us. It was a great location too and so easy to get everywhere

  My wife and I stayed at the Celestine for our elopement. Everything was fantastic from the central location to the amazing staff to the to the comfy-cozy room. A huge shout-out to Johnny the GM amd Alex the bar manager who took our stay from fabulous to magical; letting us have our ceremony in the Celestine 's intimate courtyard and were also so gracious to sign as our witnesses! Along with Gentry and Zari to round out the outstanding staff roster, our stay was like the New Orleans version of the Grand Budapest Hotel in all the best ways. We will be back!
