In a city where traditions run deep, Kimpton Hotel Fontenot is daring to chart a new course — and start some traditions of its own. It all begins in the sophisticated lobby living room, with its gorgeous white-oak wood floors and dark accents setting the tone of understated elegance. In the guest rooms, the clean and modern color palette invokes a sense of serenity, and the genuine Southern hospitality from staff is always on point. But it’s not all quiet refinement — the calendar of events is always packed, with everything from poetry and art to music and comedy. In the fun and flamboyant Peacock Room, mingle over shared punch-bowl cocktails. And in our corner café, put a playful spin on your coffee or custard by making it boozy. Everywhere you turn, there’s an irreverent touch befitting of this one-of-a-kind city — and speaking of that, we’re located right in the heart of New Orleans and all its festival-throwing, live music–loving, fresh seafood–eating splendor. At Kimpton Hotel Fontenot, we’re doing things a little differently, sure, but always with a reverence for the past and an eye toward the future.
