Hotel Peter & Paul is a stunning luxury boutique retreat nestled in the heart of the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood in New Orleans. This beautifully restored 19th-century church complex once housed a school, convent, rectory, and chapel. Today, it offers 71 uniquely designed rooms that blend Old‑World elegance with modern comfort—a perfect reflection of New Orleans itself. The city’s vibrant culture, rich Creole history, and community‑driven spirit are embodied here. Locals are known for their warmth and hospitality, and the cuisine continues that same tradition: think bold spices, decadent seafood, French‑Creole influences, and comfort food seasoned with Southern flair. From late-night jazz on Frenchmen Street to jazz brunches and a spread of beignets and gumbo, New Orleans offers a feast for all the senses.

 

Location

Perched at 2317 Burgundy Street, Hotel Peter & Paul is in one of New Orleans’ most creative hubs. Marigny is a colorful, artsy neighborhood known for its quirky shops, pastel cottages, and proximity to Frenchmen Street—the beating heart of the local music scene. The hotel is just a 5‑minute walk to jazz clubs and about 15 minutes on foot to the French Quarter’s iconic landmarks.

 

 

The Rooms

The property spans four historic buildings—schoolhouse, rectory, convent, and chapel—each offering distinct, character-filled accommodations. The Schoolhouse holds 59 rooms, with four color-coded floors (gold, green, blue, red) inspired by medieval religious iconography. Think spacious loft-style layouts, spiral staircases, and mezzanine beds.

The Rectory’s 5 rooms elevate the experience with four-poster beds, antique fireplaces, and rich ruby drapery. Meanwhile, the 7 convent rooms feature crisp white and royal‑blue palettes, bespoke tiles, clawfoot tubs, and balconies in select units.

All rooms include flat-screen TVs, high‑speed Wi‑Fi, luxurious toiletries (guests rave about the custom soaps and lotions), comfy linens, and thoughtful touches like vintage rotary phones, curated artwork, and local snack trays.

• Side Chapel Café: Housed in the rectory chapel, this sun-filled café serves morning espresso, fresh-squeezed juices, pastries, and coffee. It’s the perfect spot to begin your day.
