The best hotel we stayed at in our recent tour of Louisiana and Texas
Simply superb, the furniture and fittings made this a unique hotel to stay at
nothing to fault, if I was to mention the breakfasts were ok but not to the same standard as everything else. the fact you had to keep asking for bread for toast. But I’m being picky.

If you don't want the French Qtr, stay here!
My husband, our son and his wife met to attend the Sugar Bowl. It was perfect in that our rooms were close and shared a sitting area. Breakfast was delicious. Staff is friendly. Location was great for a walk in Audubon Park and walk to neighborhood restaurants. Always have to ride the street car. Bonus was the breakfast room that we used in the evening to play bridge. Enjoyed visiting with the owners.

It is a gorgeous old hotel. Beautiful furnishings and decorations. The front desk was especially helpful fixing the mess I made with our reservation. The breakfast and snacks were very good also. We will definitely be going back. I highly recommend the Parkview Historic Hotel.
Be prepared for no elevator. The stairs are very good exercise. The staff is very helpful carrying your luggage.

A must stay
We were there to visit Tulane with my daughter. The hotel us right across the campus and the park and only 15 mn from Bourbon street. It was amazing to get to see one of these big historical mentions inside. There is so much to see, antique furniture so cool The hotel is very clean and with extra attention to details to ensure customer's safety And by attention to detail I mean EVERY detail from the sanitization to the treats and refreshments. There were even umbrellas and mosquito repellent in the lobby. The hotel is very quiet so that you relax after a long day. Breakfast is hone made and to die for Net a must stay
It is a historical house so there is a smell that only old houses have. I am European and used to it so did mot mind but some people may find it unpleasant

A real life doll house
The property was beautiful! We arrived after dark and felt like we were walking into Disney’s Haunted Mansion, minus the spider webs. It was beautifully decorated and felt like we were staying in a doll house.
I would have loved to have a hook to hang my towel in the bathroom. With two guests staying in the room we only had one place to hang wet towels to dry after showers.

The guest house is beautiful and a perfect combination of old world charm and new amenities. The location is convenient to all New Orleans has to offer. Sitting on the porch watching the streetcar go by is the icing on the cake.

A nice, friendly and quiet hotel in New Orleans with lots of character and a history behind.
The house is beautiful and very nicely kept, near Audobon Park. We checked in late because we lost our flight yet everything was properly arranged for us and very clearly explained in spite of being no one in the premises. Very friendly and kind service, including the two ladies in the kitchen.
I would have loved to have the windows in our bedroom opened at night, since we were just in front of the park. Unfortunately this was not possible. You cannot have everything.

Lovely
The property was close to a lot of places we wanted to visit without being in the middle of a tourist area. You’re surrounded by other lovely homes and you can walk to the Audubon park that’s mere feet away. It’s a well-loved hotel where you step back into a time of grandeur. All of the furnishings and details are beautiful and thoughtfully placed. Every employee we talked to were so kind and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing too! I can’t wait to stay again!

PVHH felt like home with a luxurious, New Orleans themed feel enhanced by warm and smiling faces.
The staff were so kind from assisting via telephone for a late evening check-in, to breakfast service, and offering tips for how to navigate public transportation. They were highly professional and offered a white glove experience.
I booked this to experience a genuine feel for New Orleans and its decor certainly provided the fantasy in my mind. My only suggestion would be that you can maintain an antique/historic feel while upgrading to better quality pillows and a functional chair in the room. Aesthetically pleasing but the white pillows gave me headaches.

Very accommodating staff, loved the nuances: cookies, drinks, snacks! Excellent care with everything; each details was seen through. The location was primal for visiting nearby universities. Getting around NOLA was made simple with access to the St. Charles street car. Overall amazing experience!

Two days, very nice and comfortable old house with authentic old New Orleans charm
Breakfast was delicious and filling both days. Evening snack/beverage also available. Great location for Tulane visit
Not enough electric outlets for charging, An alarm clock with charging ports would be nice addition at bedside
