Historic Royal Street Property

New Orleans’ Historic Hotel Royal

Book a room or suite at the historic Hotel Royal, located on New Orleans’ iconic Royal Street, where history and culture come to life. Steeped in rich history, this property’s story began in 1784 at 1006 Rue Royal. By the 1830s, a private Creole townhouse was constructed on the site, serving various purposes over the years—including as a public laundromat—before being transformed into a hotel in the 1960s.

The property underwent a stunning restoration by the J Collection in 2011, reestablishing 1006 Rue Royal as Hotel Royal, a premier French Quarter destination. Featuring charming iron balconies and serene courtyards, the hotel offers an authentic New Orleans experience.
