The Bywater Suite Hotel — New Orleans’ Luxury Resort Oasis
Discover the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and local charm at the Bywater Suite Hotel, a beautifully restored historic landmark just steps from the Mississippi River in the heart of Historic Bywater.
Here, we’ve reimagined the art of hospitality with spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites—each bedroom featuring its own private bath. Every detail has been curated to offer a refined home-away-from-home experience, elevated by the indulgence of a luxury retreat— fully equipped kitchens, full-size washers and dryers, and expansive living rooms designed for gathering, relaxing, and unwinding.
After a day exploring the vibrant streets of New Orleans, immerse yourself in the serene beauty of our Holy Waters Pool Club & Hot Tub. Swim beneath the Southern sun or enjoy a leisurely soak with a cocktail in hand.
Whether you’re visiting for a romantic escape, a family celebration, a festival, or a group retreat, the magic of New Orleans is at your fingertips.
Honoring History, Celebrating Luxury, Embracing Southern Charm
The Bywater Suite Hotel occupies an entire square city block that was once home to the order of Marianite sisters. Our restoration celebrates the property’s architectural heritage while introducing contemporary elegance. We’ve preserved its historic character, creating a unique blend of old-world charm and modern amenities.
Our suites are three times the size of standard hotel rooms—perfect for gathering with friends, enjoying a quiet evening, or working remotely in comfort.
As a locally owned boutique hotel, our passion for hospitality is felt from your first welcome to your final farewell. Our multilingual team—including French and Spanish speakers—ensures every guest feels at home.
