Royal Frenchmen Hotel and Bar

I booked this hotel for the location and availability of parking. It looked nice as we checked in and went to our room. Then things took a turn for the worse. The bed was firmer than the floor and very uncomfortable. We had to call the front desk to check the water heater every time we wanted a shower. It was still only warm and not hot. All rooms can hear the band in the bar all night. There were very good bands playing in the bar. The front desk staff were not familiar with local companies. As an example we asked if we could get a carriage ride from the hotel for sight seeing. They said I would need to look that up online. We will not stay here in our future visits to the area.

Truly one of the best locations to stay in, near amazing live music venues and walkable to sites/food etc. Note that the rooms could really use some updating and better cleaning service. I stayed here as part of a group of four. We were on a ground floor, two bedroom suite. Upon check-in, we noticed that the floors weren't very clean and there was food splatter on the walls. We told the receptionist and it was cleaned up. We stayed for 4 days, 3 nights but didn't have daily housekeeping. One of the beds was sunken in the middle, so not very comfortable. The sheets had some stains. A lot of brown dust hanging out from the ceiling vents. The safe wasn't attached to anything and could easily be removed (not very secure). One of the shelves in the cabinet below the bathroom sink was broken. Shower handle was a bit loose and made controlling the water temperature finicky. The remote control in the sitting area was missing the battery cover. Overall, we were underwhelmed by the accommodations, but we really appreciated the location and the staff were friendly. So, we could look past the cons.

The Royal Frenchman Hotel is truly exceptional! The bar experience is unparalleled – upon entering, it feels like stepping into a private home party. Even during peak hours, the atmosphere remains pleasantly intimate. The music, though loud, adds a fantastic vibe to the place. It's the perfect blend of lively and enjoyable. The Royal Frenchman Hotel's bar is a gem, making every visit a memorable and enjoyable experience. 👌

The best part of this place is the live music in the lobby every night! It's in a great location for grown and sexy bar hopping. All the staff I met were very friendly and the rooms were nice. I stayed in the Esplanade suite. There are two bedrooms and a pull out couch, but a big disappointment was that there is only one bathroom. The sitting room can get pretty tight once the pull out bed is let out. It would probably work best for two adults or a couple and a child.

We were here for a wedding. We stayed for the weekend and had an incredible time. The staff is absolutely fantastic. A special shoutout to the bartender, Amber, who makes the most bomb drinks. Pro tip: just tell her your liquor of choice and flavor profile and let her make something magical for you. They do their own infusions which are delicious. Thank you, Amber, for making our trip extra fun! Also bring some goooood earplugs if you are staring over night. The live music is wonderful and carries well.

Writing a review solely for the bar and the bartender. This was one of the coolest bartender experiences I've ever had. Linden, the bartender, made us custom cocktails that were second to none - it was so cool to watch him in action and to try his creations. Would highly recommend anyone to stop in here and pick from the basket to get a surprise cocktail!
