The Quisby – A Favorite for Families in New Orleans
About the Hotel
Rooms & Bunk Beds
The Quisby offers private and shared rooms with bunk beds designed by Swiss woodworker Heinz Gautschi. Options include queen rooms for couples, standard quad rooms for four, female-only dorms, and six-bed shared rooms with views of St Charles Avenue. All rooms have private bathrooms, memory foam mattresses, bedside outlets, and locking luggage storage. Sturdy windows block street noise.
Lobby Bar & Events
The lobby bar hosts local DJs on Fridays and Saturdays, with mocktails available for non-drinkers. Events include Harry Potter trivia on the last Thursday of each month. The Quartz Bar features live music, and artists can arrange accommodations in exchange for performances.
Central New Orleans Location
The Quisby is on St Charles Avenue, where Mardi Gras parades pass by. It's a 10-minute streetcar ride to the French Quarter and within walking distance of the Garden District, Magazine Street, and Treme's soul food spots. Nearby landmarks include Caesars Superdome, Harrah's Casino, and the National WWII Museum.
