Q&C Hotel

My wife and I stayed here for three nights and absolutely loved it!
It was an easy Über to the French Quarter and the furnishings were right up our alley. The staff were so professional, friendly, and outgoing. The food was good and the recommendations were spot on. While we were there, the hotel’s top floor began to leak a lot of water-​all the way down to the lobby. During the whole episode the staff handled the situation with dignity, calm, and jokes. Even with that, I cannot say enough good things about the hotel and when we come back to New Orleans we will definitely stay here again.

Loved this hotel! It was the perfect location — located close to the French Quarter (3 blocks) without having to deal with the noise that the French Quarter brings. It’s also really close to the Canal Street trolley, which was a big plus. Aside from the location, the hotel is just beautiful. I love the exposed brick in the rooms — it add such a great look to the rooms.
My husband and I spent the weekend there with our 4-​year-​old daughter. While there weren’t many children at the hotel, the staff was very child-​friendly. We were able to hang out in the bar/​lounge area that night, and my daughter had a blast. They even have a neat, wooden Connect 4 to play with.
Also, the food there was really good. I liked their beignets better than the ones at Café Beignet.

absolutely a great hotel if you want to visit NO. location was fantastic, rooms were comfortable, and the bar is great. staff was friendly and helpful.
after my great stay, i found out that i didn’t have a receipt for my first night’s stay because of a computer issue. if this were personal travel it wouldn’t be a big deal, but i needed that receipt for a business reimbursement (otherwise i’m out $ 200). each call i made to the hotel i was transferred to an accountant or manager who was supposed to be able to help. they’re never there and don’t return messages. i’ve made 10 calls. it’s so disappointing that this hotel doesn’t value their customers enough to follow through on a simple problem that a past guest is trying to resolve.

My wonderful, organized friend did a lot of research on picking out a hotel for my 30^th birthday that would please a total of nine girls and it was probably, hands down one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at (no exaggeration). To the moment we pulled up in our cab and walked into the hotel, everything was perfect. They greeted us immediately when we got out of our cabs and quickly took our luggage inside. The hotel is actually two buildings but face directly in front of each other. The building that we checked into had a really nice bar inside with a friendly bartender that made us laugh the entire time. I also really enjoyed the fact that they had happy hour even on the weekends.
The gentleman that helped us carry our bags upstairs to our rooms realized we were there to celebrate my birthday and came back a few minutes later with a complimentary bottle of champagne (UM, how sweet!?). He even made it special by bringing us champagne flutes so we didn’t have to use the plastic cups in the room. Another gentleman that came up to help us connect our phones to the Bluetooth also realized why we were here that particular weekend and came back up with a complimentary lunch/​dinner card for me to use while I was there. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff could not be any more gracious, kind, accommodating and friendly. They were very attentive with the hotel guests and their needs (even if we didn’t ask for anything). For instance, while we were waiting in the heat for our swamp tour bus that was 30 minutes late in picking us up, one of the staff members came outside and asked us if we needed anything and came out with a bottle of water for each person. On my last day there, my body was telling me I had way too much fun last night and needed to stay put… so I stayed behind in the hotel lobby while the other girls went shopping and one of the staff approached me and asked if I was okay and I told him I was just feeling a little uneasy from the night before and laughed it off (but in actuality, I was dying slowly inside). He said he would be right back, and when I looked up he had brought me a ginger ale!
This was my first time visiting New Orleans and I definitely plan on coming back again and when I do, I’ll be staying at the Q&C hotel :).

For our trip to New Orleans, my boyfriend and I wanted a hotel that was close enough to the action of the French Quarter but far away enough so that we could get a decent night’s sleep. After spending most of our time in the French Quarter and witnessing all the nightly craziness on the streets, we were glad we decided to stay in the neighboring Central Business District instead. Located just a few blocks away from Canal Street and Bourbon Street, Q&C Hotel was the perfect balance between hip and modern but also cozy and inviting.
This newly remodeled boutique-​style hotel is absolutely gorgeous with its contemporary décor, exposed brick walls and wood furnishings. The wallpaper in the rooms are beautiful and really evoke a cool, chic ambiance. Although the room is smaller compared to some of the other chain hotels, a King-​sized room was quite nice and just right for two people and doesn’t feel too cramped. The bathroom was modern and comes with some pretty good quality soaps, shampoos and body washes. Q&C also has a pretty cool bar downstairs in their lobby for when you want to grab a drink or if you’re on-​the-​go and need to grab a quick bite before heading out to whatever activity you have planned.
We had such a comfortable stay here and would definitely love to come again the next time we come to New Orleans. My only complaint is that the water in the shower didn’t get that hot at times, but the front desk was able to send someone up to get that fixed relatively quickly. Major props to the service and promptness of the staff here!

A great independent hotel locally very conveniently to the French Quarter and plenty of tasty eats & drinks. While the front desk staff wasn’t the friendliest, our room was clean and well-​kept throughout our stay.
A small gym is available for 24H use with just the basics — several cardio machines and dumbbells up to 50 lb.

I don’t know what to think of this place. The remodel was done well in terms of workmanship. The design is trying too hard, however. It reminds me of a boutique SFO hotel that’s actually in good shape but intended to look weird. The interior designer was obviously on his/​her first big job. The shower with no door is silly. The closet with no light is dumb, as is the curtain closet door. Speaking of light, the room are so dark! Why? And perhaps some money spent on new windows (or let the old ones open) would have been nice. Right now you’re sealed in a loud dark box.
The service was also a very mixed. The bartender wasn’t happy to be at work, the valet was missing, and the doorman was lazy. Right after he told me his name and that I can let him know about
«Anything you need»…
Finally, what’s with all the books with torn off covers? I know it’s part of the design, but we’re back to the trying too hard thing.

Staff was super friendly, the room was adorable, and Nick at the front desk is my homie now.

This hotel is wonderful! We arrived very early in the morning and we were allowed to check in, and at 6am! I’m sure this would not be the case if the hotel had been full the night before, but boy was it wonderful being able to check in! Every employee we encountered was courteous and friendly and the service was fantastic! I would absolutely stay here again!

The hotel rooms are really cute and modern, providing a really good ambiance. The price was fairly decent and location to the French quarter was not too far. Only issue was the construction going on outside my too. At 5am both days of my stay and the walls seemed a little thin.

Absolutely love this boutique hotel. Super cute and cozy. The staff was beyond helpful with any requests or questions we had. The customer service was superb. The restaurant downstairs was excellent with great drinks & delicious meals. I will most definitely be staying here again. Did not give five stars because there is still a little bit of updates happening in the rooms with the floors that they covered up with area rugs. Can’t wait for them to finish so I can visit again.

What an awesome hotel! The staff is so friendly! The rooms are so nice! The bar and food is great! It’s within walking distance to the quarter, the aquarium, the casino, and the WWII museum AND it was a great value! I would not hesitate to stay here again the next time I am in New Orleans.
PS. I loved that they have water bottles for the guests at the front desk if you ask for them.

GREAT HOTEL!!! We would literally come all the way back to NOLA to stay here. I LOVE that it’s in the Central District and not the French Quarter.
Pros:
— Super clean, modern, hip hotel. And not hip in the sense of it’s trying-​too-​hard-​to-​be-​hip like the Ace hotel.
— Rooms are smallish but the use of space in the room is well done because it makes the room feel larger than it is. The bed was right in the middle of the room with ample space all around it as opposed to say a cheaper hotel w the bed crammed into a corner.
— Attention to detail. The Q & C wallpaper. The wood floors. The lighting. The marble. Just overall a beautiful hotel room that wasn’t trying to be anything more than it is.
— THE BED!!! Holy comfortable. I’m a huge bed snob! Soft beds make my back hurt so it’s always a toss up with boutique hotels. It’s firm and supportive with just the right amount of soft cushion. Soft linens. Nice bedding.
— Staff was kind and helpful especially when I was in dire needs of something to calm my sudden wave of motion sickness from our drive from Austin to New Orleans (don’t play too many games on your phone!).
— Great little bar areas and restaurant. I think there was a pool table. Plenty to keep you entertained if you feel so inclined to stay in during your NOLA stay.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would stay here again. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend.

Cons: First night the Air Conditioning did not work. The second night the air conditioning started leaking from the top of the toilet. We called the front desk. We had to wait 45 minutes for a shower before they realized their engineer went to the wrong room. Half of our outlets in our room did not work. While checking out, they couldn’t figure out how to divide a 3 night valet by three. There’s a sliding wooden door for the restroom so you can hear your mates use the restroom.
Pros: Beautiful, modern ambiance. Great walk to Bourbon Street area and attractions. Comfortable beds. Big television. Great food. Restaurant was accommodating to our needs.

What a gem! I love this place! Very clean and very well planned. I love how the taps to the shower are opposite wall to the shower head. Meaning you don’t have to stand in the frigid or scorching water spray while you find the perfect temp. (A rocket scientist must have designed this place) I love the contemporary steampunk vibe. Eric was so very nice and took his time picking a room for my sons 21^st. Spent extra time drawing out a map and explained a cool birthday tradition they have here. Really, above and beyond. We are having a great time here at the beginning of Mardi Gras. Eric also had some good suggestions for avoiding «looking like a tourist» lol
We are having the time of our lives, highly recommend

Queen & Crescent (Q&C) is what I’d called hipstoric (hipster + historic). Like a page out of Restoration Hardware, Q&C has the feel of industrial lights, warm brick, cool leather, heavy metal sliding doors, rustic wood, clean lines, white sheets, fresh scents, good cocktails, and Southern hospitality. It is the perfect distance (just a few minutes walk) from the heart of the French Quarter. Loved my stay!

We will not be back to the Q&C hotel. Let me start with positives. 1) location. 5 minute walk to the French quarter, 5 minute walk to bourbon street. 2.) Décor. Modern, classy and rustic. 3.) Drinks. Mixed perfectly!
Negatives– the staff. Some are great others are extremely rude. They did not do a good job cleaning our room, we have had the same sheets every night. I ordered a burger from the kitchen (food overall was tasty) but the waitress forgot to put my order in. When I questioned and ask if my burger was on its way, her response was «it can be…» What?
She then put my order through and I got up to the room with my burger, I bit into it and it was raw! Gross. We asked to speak to the manager and they were apologetic. Subtracted the burger, 2 breakfast vouchers and a bottle of wine on the house. Vantrell and Jennifer get the gold stars. Also, they are doing a lot of construction at night which makes it extremely difficult to sleep.
Definitely stop in for a drink, but there are better options for a stay.

Yay!
This newly renovated hotel is an Instagrammer’s paradise. The décor is v. old worldly in a hipster-​y way (and I mean that in the best way possible). The bar is cozy with plenty of seating and the happy hour menu is awesome. I especially love the French 75 served with french fries; the spicy dipping sauce alone is worth the order.
Our room, albeit small, was pretty and comfortable. The king-​sized bed was plush and every night was restful. We had the smallest window in the corner, which might have offered a view if the CBD wasn’t so boring and lacking in pretty architecture.
My favorite feature is that the wifi is free and there’s no password required. There isn’t even the obligatory entering of surname and room number. Literally just a one-​step connection, which is so rare these days, I saw it as a major luxury.
My only complaint is that the water pressure in our shower was unreliable. I don’t know if it was dependent on whether our neighbors were showering at the same time or what, but sometimes the water pressure would be barely a trickle and then all of a sudden boom out hard enough to sand off my top layer of skin.

Great place! Beautiful rooms and lounge/​bar/​restaurant area. Walking distance to the french quarter and mostly everything. Staff is pretty nice and informative. 11 am check out but they are cool about 1pm late check out. Good happy hour and delicious drinks. No breakfast included but there are a ton of great breakfast/​brunch spots within walking distance. (The ruby slipper!)

Q&C, I wanted to love you, but there was always something that expressed «not meant to be.»
We were flying in from SF and arriving around 2100 on a Friday. I booked for a skyline king and called to let them know our flight would arrive late. Upon checking in we were told that all their skyline King rooms were sold out, really?!? We were told that the following day we would be able to transfer to an appropriate room. Come Saturday we had to transfer another 2 times because the 2^nd room had a leaking sprinkler. Both times we moved ourselves when we were told that the hotel would help move our things while we were away. Despite these early mishaps we wouldn’t let anything ruin our stay. They ended up comping us a night of parking.
We called prior to coming in if there were other options for parking because they were charging $ 38/​night. They said only valet was available in the area. After the first night we found a parking lot right next to their adjacent building for $ 25/​day with in and out privileges. Don’t get fooled. It takes less than a minute to get to the lot.
Their common areas are like a Restoration Hardware catalog, very hipster with their wood grain tones, distressed leather, and vintage bulbs. All were missing were chambray uniforms, handle bar mustaches, and bowler hats which is the very «in» thing at the moment. The elevator farthest from the lobby often breaks down. We took it to our room late night when it malfunctioned right before the doors completely parted. We had to pry it open to get out — very Tower of Terror-​ish. Bathroom had that minimalist modern shower door, more like a sliver, which I despise because who loves feeling a draft when you’re in the shower? No vent so moisture builds and mold loves that stuff. My allergies kicked in at night. You can still smell cigarette smoke lingering in the room although they market themselves as a non-​smoking facility.
Despite the negatives, I’ll have to say the staff was very accommodating. The hotel is in the Central Business District, far away from the crowd and noise when you want your sleep but close enough your a 5-​minute walk from the French Quarter. Also, we played our pants off with the shuffle board in the 2^nd building. I think I want one at home. They have higher end TVs with surprisingly decent built in sound. Their sheets are breathable and stitched with their logo, which is a detail I can appreciate. After all the walking we did, their mattresses were a God send.
As I said earlier, I wanted to love you Q&C, but there were enough hits to cancel the misses. Let’s call it a wash.

I’ve gone back and forth on what rating to leave Q&C. The staff was excellent and deserve 5 stars. They were all super friendly and helpful.
The hotel has a really neat feel to it as far a decorations and style, but the size of the room we had was very small. It’s a place that’s fine for a 1 night stay, but not comfortable and I wouldn’t recommend a long stay.
The air conditioner kept me up all night. When it ran, it was super loud, which was actually fine bc it drowned out the street noise (which there was a ton of, but obviously nothing against the hotel there), but it would run for a couple minutes, then shut off for about 30 seconds and kick back on again. The constant inconsistency kept waking me up.
The bathroom is also designed pretty poorly. It’s very neat, but not super functional. The sliding door is cool, but it’s heavy and no handle on the inside made it a struggle for my wife to open from the inside. Also, since the shower is a walk in, with no door and the shower head pointed right towards the open part, the bathroom floor ended up completely soaked.
In the end I settled with a 4 bc despite the frustrations, it was very affordable and decent place to stay for the night.

Stayed here for Courtney and Joe Pipers Wedding on PI day/​St. Paddys weekend!
I am so madly in love with this hotel! It is beautiful and fun! I love the darkness with the hints of boldness. The beds are so comfortable! Love the exposed concrete floors with a touch of elegance with the beautiful wallpaper. The bathrooms are adorable even if you get cold because the door didn’t close haha
Get a coffee maker in your room (kcups) Ice and water machine located in the hallway. Crushed slushy ice. Our favorite!
The food is so delicious, you would never think it was from a hotel. Margarita Pizza is dank and so is the breakfast sandwich! Tons of great beers and specialty cocktail drinks!
PJ is the man! The Bar MGR! He took care of all of us. Even when we were rushing for a wedding or all dehydrated! Super great staff.
We will be back! If you don’t stay at this hotel please go and eat the food and have a drink with a new friend! Cheers

Think Ace Hotel + Spitafield — pretentious & lofty price tag x a dab of Southern charm.
After a multi-​million dollar renovation and change in ownership, Q&C is basically a brand new hotel… hence you should disregard any reviews before June when it reopened.
