About us

New Orleans has been built on a musical legacy equal parts traditional and improvisational - Kimpton Hotel Fontenot will be paying homage to this rich history with a reimagined hotel on the corner of Poydras and Tchoupitoulas streets. With a clean and modern aesthetic accentuated by soft colors, bright and airy spaces, and irreverent touches, Kimpton Hotel Fontenot is riffing on the definition of a Big Easy hotel to create something new, offering a serene oasis in the heart of the city. But it still honors the area's over-the-top style with a few surprises. Enjoy the start of your evening with a craft cocktail in our Peacock Room, before grabbing dinner at King Brasserie. Grab. Start your morning with a quick bite at Gospel Coffee & Booze Treats to indulge in a fresh cup of coffee. If you have morning time to linger, enjoy a scrumptious breakfast at King Brasserie From The Hotel Fontenot, you can walk to hot spots like the Arts District, the convention center, and the Mercedes Benz Superdome. And, of course, we're right next to the French Quarter, where you can laissez les bon temps rouler to your heart's content.
