Our Hotel Planner Expert Reviews of Voco St. James Hotel An Ihg Hotel
Our expert hotel planners periodically visit and review the hotels we represent in person.
"Boutique Beauty"
Overall Score4.0/ 5
To get an authentic New Orleans experience, stay in a boutique hotel. To get this experience with a touch of class, stay at the St. James Hotel. Conveniently located on Magazine Street, in the
Central Business District and adjacent to the French Quarter, the St. James Hotel offers quiet respite with the action nearby. Each room is unique and tastefully appointed with a classic West Indies decor. High ceilings and full length windows give the rooms extra spaciousness. The front desk staff is courteous and professional. Amenities are basic, and include complimentary wi-fi and a breakfast pastry delivered to your room. Enjoy it in one of their courtyards, or in your room.
Canal Street and the Arts & Warehouse District are both a few blocks away. This hotel does not offer distractions; the world outside your door will take care that. The St. James does provide comfortable accommodations without being overly indulgent.
