It has been a long time since we have experienced such hospitality. We had conversations and interactions with multiple staff members from the front desk, the night watchman, the bookkeeper, a tour guide, the bartender, and the general manager. It is one thing to have a singular great interaction, it is an entirely different experience that every person you come in contact with is dedicated to the care and comfort of guests. You can tell that the approach to and delivery of service comes from the top down. Everyone was kind, friendly, and attentive. The grounds were gorgeous (props to the groundskeeper(s)!!!), the plantation is historical, definitely haunted, and the beds were comfy. I can't wait to return. Thanks to the entire staff - you all were stellar! **I am not saying there are ghosts in this photo but zoom in on the window panes and decide for yourself.

We have stayed in our fair share of haunted locations and B&B attractions and for the money they charge to stay, everything is sub-par. To start, we stayed in the caretakers cottage and the a/c they have in that tiny place isn't enough to keep it comfortable when it is hot outside. The shower inside is a tiny little rain locker with a wooden door that doesn't let any light in so you shower in darkness. The toilet rocks back and forth when you use it and the toilet paper is the quality of what you find in a public restroom. Really? 200+ dollars a night and y'all can't afford to give the guests decent toilet paper? THEN there's the food. Continental breakfast at national hotel chains are better than this for this place to be so expensive. Not to mention the "coffee shop" coffee isn't even that great. If you're going to have a branded coffee, at least make it taste good. Now onto the ghosts. Which there were none. I think I saw a shadow but looking back on it, there are so many guests walking the property all day and night they contaminate the experience and you can't tell if it was just a person passing the window or not. THEN there's the fact that the main part of the house isn't open to anyone to ghost hunt or investigate except when you're on the tour. That was the main reason we wanted to go there, to investigate the house but you can't do that very well when you're on a tour with a lot of people. We left a day early and didn't even ask for our money back because the fight wasn't worth it, the whole experience was bogus and overpriced in every aspect. I wouldn't recommend anyone going here to ghost hunt.

I can’t say enough about my stay. I had originally only booked one night in the Woodruff suite but we loved everything so much we stayed a second night. The beauty and comfort of the location was enough to stay but you add the amazing staff, food, room, history, and nice ghosts and how could we leave? I am a big history lover and the room definitely delivered. It was like stepping back in time. We took both the history and ghost tours. All fantastic. I had my purse playfully tugged during both. Resident spirit Sarah and her daughter Kate spent the two nights with us. Sarah even came up along side the bed during the night as I saw a glowing white light approaching my closed eyes. I was too scared to open them but I felt her right next to me. Kate spent the evening crawling into the end of the bed on and off. Never any bad feelings just knowing someone is in the room with you. Lots of communication with Sarah with a iovulis that was confirmed with staff. Be kind and respectful and that is what you will get in return. You also have to eat at the amazing restaurant on the grounds. It was fabulous. I am already planning a second visit. A++++

Why it's Haunted

Built as an antebellum plantation and now operating as a bed and breakfast, The Myrtles became forever haunted by the tragic spirit of Chloe, an enslaved woman who accidentally poisoned three family members including two children when she added too much oleander to a birthday cake in a desperate attempt to secure her position in the household, leading to her brutal lynching by fellow slaves who feared collective punishment from the Judge and hung her from a plantation tree before throwing her weighted body into the river.

Chloe’s restless spirit continues manifesting throughout the plantation in her distinctive turban, appearing in photographs taken by visitors and the current owner as a shadowy figure standing near buildings, while her ghostly presence haunts the interior rooms where she seeks eternal forgiveness for the deaths that ended her earthly life in violent circumstances during Louisiana’s slavery era.

The plantation’s children’s dining room where the poisoning occurred was permanently closed by the Judge and never used for dining again, now serving as the game room where visitors feel the overwhelming presence of the young victims who died writhing in agony from Chloe’s accidental fatal gift, their innocent spirits joining the enslaved woman’s ghost in eternal residence at the property.

The Myrtles’ paranormal activity extends beyond Chloe to include multiple spirits from the plantation’s dark history of slavery, disease, and death, creating one of America’s most documented haunted locations where antebellum luxury and human suffering intersected to create lasting supernatural manifestations that continue terrorizing and fascinating guests seeking to experience the intersection of Southern history and paranormal activity.

Operating as both a historic bed and breakfast and haunted destination, The Myrtles offers visitors the opportunity to sleep where slaves lived and died, making this St. Francisville landmark a haunted monument to antebellum tragedy where the ghosts of slavery continue bearing witness to America’s darkest period through supernatural encounters that blur the boundaries between hospitality and historical horror.

My wife found this hotel for a trip we took in 2023. We liked it so much that we came back this year. If you're looking for a unique, quiet, comfortable place in the French Quarter, this is a great choice.||Let's start with the name. There's absolutely no shortage of hotels in the French Quarter that claim to be haunted. This one puts it right in the name and the decor. If you have a young child who is very easily scared, this might not be the place for them. However, this isn't a Halloween haunted house with animated skeletons and spooky noises. The ghosts never woke me. In fact, they'd have a hard time waking me in their very comfortable beds. The location has a connection to the Axeman. Of course, so do a bunch of other places in New Orleans.||As long as you are capable of a gentle walk of a couple of miles, there's no part of the French Quarter you can't walk to from this hotel. If what you really want to do is stroll over to Frenchman St. to hear some music and have a short walk back at the end of the night, it's a great location. There isn't any parking available at the hotel. Parking isn't exactly something you do in the French Quarter.||While the hotel itself doesn't have any breakfast offerings, Croissant D'Or is next door. It's only a couple of blocks from the French Market as well. There are plenty of quick foods available there, along with lots of vendors selling interesting things during the day. Check for events there. We attended a free cooking demo one morning.||The staff at The Haunted Hotel are very friendly. They aren't there round the clock, so if you need to arrange a late check-in, make arrangements in advance. The entrance is through a locked gate next to the front of the hotel, which makes it very secure. I can't describe it as anything other than a narrow alley back to the courtyard. That courtyard is very comfortable.||There are at least two somewhat different styles of rooms. The ones in back facing into the courtyard are more recently renovated. The ones we've seen there have larger bathrooms than the ones in the front building. They also appear to have had a makeover fairly recently. The only thing we had a problem with was an air conditioner that leaked some condensation. The staff took a few minutes to determine which room they could move us to and all was good.||This place has more of the vibe of a bed and breakfast (minus the breakfast) than a hotel. If what you want is a vacation that's unique, while still being safe and comfortable with sights, restaurants and entertainment close at hand, they've got it.

Stayed here for the weekend I proposed to my fiancee and it was wonderful! Didn't see any ghosts but the rooms were beautiful and the employees were so helpful and kind. Take the advice of the pamphlets in the rooms and skip the tourist center. The tours that they advertise are definitely the ones you want to go on. You're also right next door to a lovely little cafe where we had breakfast every day and the owner had a cookout in the courtyard during our stay and invited us down to eat with him and his family and just made us feel right at home. We definitely will be staying here for ALL of our future trips to New Orleans!

We had the absolute best time at The Haunted Hotel! We chose it for the location, which could literally not be better. It is 2 blocks away from the quiet end of Bourbon Street, so you do not experience the noise but can get to it easily as a tourist. The reason I am writing this review is because the staff was amazing! We came for the Taylor Swift/ Haloweekend craziness and they treated us so well. We were able to email ahead of time to ask if they could hold our bags while we waited to check in and they gave us early check in instead. When we arrived both of the Christinas told us to treat it like home and they really embraced that statement all 6 days. There were always pastries, fruit, and drinks in the kitchen. When we asked where to buy razors and shampoo they provided us with them instead of sending us to a store. They gave us tons of food and entertainment recommendations, plus coupons! The spooky factor was on point especially for the weekend festivities. We had a balcony room that was so clean and HUGE. We drank tea on the balcony every morning and watched the french quarter wake up in peace. The coffee shop next door is GREAT. At night it was super safe and quiet. The communal courtyard was cozy and fun. I will never stay at another hotel and will be visiting over and over! Cannot say enough good things. They really lean into the spooky gimmick, if that is your thing you will not be disappointed! Not overly scary for kids though if that is not your goal. The hotel definitely made our weekend magical 🫶

Why it's Haunted

Located on historic Ursulines Avenue in New Orleans’ French Quarter near the infamous Hotel Villa Convento, The Haunted Hotel operates in an area steeped in supernatural activity where former brothels, Ursuline convent lands, and centuries of French Quarter debauchery created a concentration of restless spirits who died during the city’s most scandalous eras.

The hotel’s proximity to the Hotel Villa Convento at 616 Ursulines Avenue places it within one of New Orleans’ most paranormally active blocks, where the ghost of ‘the Madame’ from the former brothel continues conducting business from beyond the grave, while mysterious knocking sounds echo through hallways as spectral reminders that patrons’ ‘time is up’ from the area’s red-light district past.

Guests throughout Ursulines Avenue’s haunted hotel corridor report disembodied voices, unexplained knocking sounds, personal belongings disappearing mysteriously, and the overwhelming sensation of being watched by invisible entities who died in rooms where pleasure and violence intertwined during New Orleans’ most lawless periods.

Author James Caskey, while researching his book ‘The Haunted History of New Orleans,’ declared this stretch of Ursulines Avenue as the most haunted location he encountered during his extensive paranormal investigations throughout the city, where rooms 301, 302, and 209 of nearby properties harbor apparitions that manifest before terrified guests who refuse to return after witnessing full-body spirits.

The Haunted Hotel embraces New Orleans’ supernatural reputation as part of the French Quarter’s most concentrated paranormal activity, where Creole culture, Catholic mysticism, and voodoo traditions created a spiritual vortex that continues attracting both living visitors and permanent ghostly residents who died loving the city’s forbidden pleasures too much to move on to the afterlife, making this Ursulines Avenue landmark a haunted gateway to New Orleans’ darkest supernatural legacy.
