St. Philip French Quarter Apts

Very good stay. Pricing excellent and so to location. Would recommend.

We were here for a conference at the beginning of October. The place was ready to go and themed to the 9’s. Our first time in New Orleans. This hotel completes the experience as it should be. The units were not prestine, but homey and clean. There were no porters or room service, but you were treated like one of the family. Tyler was there for everything we needed, including offering us recommendations for a card reader.

This place is perfect in so many ways. June and Tyler are very personable, and so welcoming. Our apartment slept 4 very comfortably and the décor so unique. Everything in the French Quarter is in walking distance, and there is enough distance from the craziness of Bourbon Street to get a peaceful night’s rest. My travel companions and I all agree this is the place to stay, and we will be staying here when we find ourselves back in NOLA. Thank you June and Tyler for a wonderful experience!

The place was great, located in a quiet part of the French Quarter and within walking distance to everything. June and Tyler were super friendly, and we loved the atmosphere. Will definitely stay here again on a future visit.

We love this place. It is our second time staying here and cannot imagine staying anywhere else in New Orleans. We were upgraded this time to a one bedroom with a balcony since the apartment we had requested was having a slight issue and wasn’t ready upon our arrival. We were thrilled to have the wonderful balcony this time. We have two more nights here and I know I will be very sorry to leave, but know that when we return to New Orleans we’ll be staying at St. Philip again for sure. Thanks so much, June, Tyler, and Craig!

I actually lived here for the first month I was in New Orleans… Its adorable and close enough to Bourbon St without being IN it. Its quiet and CLEAN. Each apartment is decorated differenly but even though eclectic its not tacky. I love the personality of the place … The staff is very much like place itself … clean and eclectic… You will love it here

The room was amazing, beautiful and comfortable. The balcony was a nice addition. The air conditioner was heaven after a long afternoon in the Louisiana weather. This is such a great place to stay.

I was greeted by Miss June when I arrived, a very personable and patient (very «N’awlins») woman. My room was amazing. I loved the layout and hardwood floors. Lots of reds and drapery and wall art, even a swanky felt brocade wallpapered accent wall. Just a reminder that you’ll use stairs to get to your room (my 1 BR balcony was on the 2^nd floor), but if you’re in the FQ, I’m guessing you’re okay with walking.
Don’t bother renting a car. You’re in the heart of the French Quarter, 1 block away from the shoreline and $ 1.25 trolleys that run like clockwork and take you around the city. The aquarium and IMAX theater are two trolley stops down (or about 10 mins walking distance). You can spend days wandering the French Quarter and not run out of things to see or do. (Quick tip: Use the French Quarter hotel shuttle bus in the airport’s baggage claim area. $ 38 r/​t!)
To address some of the concerns in other reviews: (1) «Too much noise» — Well, yeah. It’s the French Quarter. Excited passersby may wake you at 3am. If you’re looking for quiet time, I’d recommend staying in an area away from the FQ. (2) «The building needs repair» — Indeed, it does. You’ll find missing plaster and some areas in need of a paint job on property. A 2’x2″ section of drywall was missing with a drape covering it in my room. Looks like it was due to some plumbing work. For me, this sort of «battered» look is part of St. Philip’s N’awlins charm, and did not deter me from enjoying the room.
My only «negative» is that the balcony doors are left open until you arrive — probably to showcase the room’s greatest amenity upon arrival. Unfortunately, my room was full of mosquitoes (7 bites before I stopped trying to catch them), but a quick trip to the drug store (2 blocks away) for bug spray did the trick.
I hope to stay here again later this year (after mosquito season :).

Great place to stay to experience the true New Orleans! I had booked a few other backups at bigger chains but this place was the best. Great location and a balcony!
We stayed in a two bedroom apartment and it was magnificent!!! I was here for a bachelor party, however I am 40 so wanted to do it right. Now, when my wife asks me to take her, she hasn’t yet but it’s inevitable, I will book the same place! It would be perfect for us too and we have a one year old.
The staff was so attentive as well (thanks Tyler (hope I got that right)!). Rooms were clean and had gorgeous hardwoods. They had small kitchens as well. We glanced into the apartment across from ours when they were cleaning it and it looked just as amazing! The pictures online do not do it justice at all in my opinion! It is very roomy and wonderful place to spend your time in New Orleans!
I recommend this place to everyone!

Great time at The Saint Phillip French Quarter Apartments during Mardi Gras 2015. We were in walking distance to all the festivities. The staff was very helpful.

First time to NOLA! What a gem. Found the them online decided to try something a little different from some 5 star big named hotel that I normally do on vacation… Let me just say if you are really trying to experience this crazy little place called the French quarters you should look into this place if they have the availability…

This year was my first visited New Orleans! For me was a great surprise found that my friend Phillip rented one apartment in this magic place! Love it! Very colorful, great services and wonderful personal! I met the owner and he is a very interesting person! I’ll be back ASAP! All my love to this place! You need to meet Taylor a lady with a unique personality a great stories about all the festivities in the beautiful city! Miss a lot this place!

We stayed here for the 20^th Anniversary Essence Music Festival and we felt right at home! The staff was absolutely amazing and the room was perfect for what we needed. It was close to Bourbon street so we could walk with no problem along with being in close proximity to all the best shops and restaurants. I look forward to staying here when I return to New Orleans!

We were a bit apprehensive judging from the pictures that were available online… an older establishment, dark rooms, weren’t sure exactly how «too close» we would be to the rowdiness in the French quarter…
OhhhEmmmGeee! From the moment you walk into the charming courtyard with the sound of water spitting up out of the giant crawfish in the fountain… you leave the chaotic noisy world of deadlines, projects, meetings and traffic behind you.
You are greeted by a laid back welcome from the bldg manager and can’t stop looking around because the outside noise literally disappears behind those gates…
We had asked for an apartment with a balcony… this really was the best part of staying at the St. Philip :-).
The place is very clean, amenities were available, and we really could not have dreamed of being in a better location in the French Quarter!
We will definitely be back! We had a magical time chasing life, great food and old music!

We have stayed here for three visits now. It is very close to all of our favorite places. Central Grocery is two blocks away. The Community Coffee shop is ½ block away.
The French Market is very close. I look forward to our next visit.

What a great spot in NOLA. We booked our plane tickets the weekend before Mardi Gras and didn’t even realize it WAS Mardi Gras at the time– thus, finding a French Quarter room was a little challenging on such short notice. We found this place on Unilocal and I was pleasantly surprised to find a room with such character and charm 4 days prior to our arrival!
We showed up Friday and were greeted by two of the friendliest ladies ever– June and the house mother– asking us about our weekend trip and telling us about our apartment for the weekend. We stayed in room 16, at the very top of the apartments, and walked up many stairs to get there only to find the actual apartment had a little staircase inside as well. I hung my coat at the bottom of the stairs and headed up to the room, which had a full living space, kitchen, desk, bathroom and bedroom off of it. Wow! It was unfortunate that our stay wasn’t longer, because this was a LOT of room for the two of us during Mardi Gras (where we undoubtedly would be out and about the whole time). The décor was cute and quirky– damask wallpaper and carpet, Audrey Hepburn art on the wall– much like my own bedroom in Michigan. The bedroom itself was also interesting with it’s slope wood ceiling. We had to make sure we didn’t hit our heads when getting out of bed :) Anyway, with complete charm and hospitality, I was very happy with this pick for our first trip to New Orleans.

I have some misgivings about writing this review because the St. Philip is a secret you don’t want getting out. But it also feels a little unfair to cover up what’s invariably been a great experience, so here I am. Where to begin:
1. Location: Perfect. Within walking distance of *everything* (whole French Quarter/​Frenchmen/​Marigny/​Bywater/​Treme/​Warehouse District), plus the trolleys if you want to go further away (Tulane/​Cemeteries/​Garden District/​Uptown/​City Park/​etc.). Despite being located in the French Quarter, the St. Philip is in a relatively quiet section far removed from the insanity of Bourbon St.
2. «Apartments» not «Hotel»: There’s no concierge, no elevator, no gym, no conference room. But there is a kitchen you can cook meals in, a balcony to relax on (in certain units), idiosyncratically-​designed bedrooms that reflect local culture, and a lovely central courtyard upon entering. You will feel more like you are living in New Orleans as opposed to just visiting it.
3. Price. It’s not cheap per se, but it’s cheaper than many competitors and the experience has invariably been well worth the price (I’ve stayed there ~8 times).
4. Staff. As mentioned, there is no clerk/​front desk/​concierge/​etc, but there is an occasionally populated office as well as a resident or two who look after things. The approach is very hands off, since there is an understanding that people who choose to stay in apartments instead of hotels like to do their own thing. But if you do cross paths with those that run the St. Philip (Craig, Tyler, etc.), you’ll find them to be very friendly, welcoming, and full of great stories.
Anyhow, The St. Philip may not be for everyone (e.g. those who prefer to have a maid clean up their room every day or a bar in the lobby), but if you want to go to New Orleans and experience the city as if you were a resident, the St. Philip is the perfect place to do that.

I’ve now stayed at the St. Philip for the 4^th year in a row during new years, and there’s good reason for it. That is, I’ve been completely satisfied with all those stays and would like to give my recommendation to anyone looking for a perfect spot in the middle of the quarter. Not only are the units outfitted with everything you need to cook, but are also uniquely decorated and have access to their beautiful courtyard.
I look forward to staying with them in the future for sure.

3 of my friends and I stayed here over the weekend for a bachelor party. I can’t say enough about how perfect a location this was. About a block and half away from Bourbon Street, coffee shop a block away, even on the route of all the haunted house tours as the building next to us was New Orleans first mortuary.
This place was perfect for our weekend, but could easily be perfect for a romantic getaway. The balcony was serene and included some great people watching.
Price was great for the weekend we were there and staff were all very nice and accommodating. There was a bit of street noise late at night, but in New Orleans, if you don’t have that, something has gone wrong!

cool fun place to get the feeling of living like a local. Great location, clean building, secure, nice range of apartments. Can be a bit pricey, but they are all fully furnished and include all utilities. Best for those needing to stay a few weeks to a few months, in which case it is much much cheaper than a hotel.
Supernice courtyard too.
