Columns®

Columns is a gorgeous setting and the night we were there the weather was perfect. Drinks were excellent and the food menu, though not large, was very nice. Dessert was also quite good. This is a romantic place and the holiday decorations were lovely. Recommended.

Wow I mean where do I even begin. I booked this hotel specifically for my wedding weekend months in advance. The day I check in I’m told I’m supposed to be checking in at their sister property. Which is not what I booked, if I wanted to book there I would’ve. If I would’ve just received a call in advance or email I could’ve simply booked a hotel of my taste. Instead I was told there was a rodent problem they were trying to figure out but it turns out someone bought out the hotel for a wedding. Again if they would’ve just been honest even the day I checked in I would’ve immediately tried to book a room somewhere else.

We are so grateful for their hospitality and highly recommend The Columns Hotel for anyone looking for a charming and welcoming spot to host an event in New Orleans.

Half of our group—including the couple who rented the suite for their wedding—were told at check-in that their room was “unavailable due to a rat issue” and that we’d have to wait for an exterminator and an update “the next day.” They were moved to another hotel for the night and then completely ignored. No calls. No updates. Nothing. The only compensation offered was a comped room and silence. We had to hound the staff for any information and didn’t get real answers until 6 p.m. the next day. It turns out there was no rat—just a lie. The restaurant manager, the only honest and professional person we encountered, admitted the hotel had sold the suite o
