This boutique hotel is perfectly situated near many attractions. It's central location is convenient when wanting to experience the city. The service was fantastic. From arriving to the hotel until leaving, everyone was friendly and helpful. Particular shout out to our porter. The only downfall would be the size of the room. A little pokey especially when you've got multiply bags. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Read less
A weekday trip to the St. James

I was in NOLA on a fun trip with a friend and we spent 4 nights at this location.Here are the high notes and low notes of our stay. High notes…Our room was lovely (118) as it opened onto the patio where the dip pool was located. A wonderful setting, even though it was too cold to really enjoy the setting. John, the bartender, was our other favorite part of our stay. He was knowledgeable and friendly, a perfect mix. We really enjoyed talking to him at the bar: The low point was the absence of a breakfast that was advertised. Not even a basic coffee bar available in the morning. There were Keurig type coffee machines in the rooms, but a fresher cup of coffee would be greatly appreciated in the AM. Read less
A Comfortable Option on the Edge of the French Quarter

This was my first stay at the Voco St. James. I hope to make a repeat. This hotel is located on Magazine St, which turns into Decatur as you walk into the French Quarter. It's quite handy for walking into the French Quarter or to Canal Street, not too close to be noisy, but not so far that you regret your 50-year-old life choices as you walk to… Read more
This was my first stay at the Voco St. James. I hope to make a repeat. This hotel is located on Magazine St, which turns into Decatur as you walk into the French Quarter. It's quite handy for walking into the French Quarter or to Canal Street, not too close to be noisy, but not so far that you regret your 50-year-old life choices as you walk to an attraction or just explore. We were in the original building, which is an appropriately older building--wide windows (painted shut, but there was a broad sill, no balcony), somewhat wavy wood floors, and a large bathroom. We scored a tub, but it had a glass wall/shower curtain arrangement, which required you lean creatively or be in the tub to turn on the water. I recommend getting in the tub--detachable shower head. There was a couch too, and it was comfortable. The room had a bit of that old building mustiness, but housekeeping sprayed it into submission. All of the staff were very friendly. The check in staff sit at two desks right inside the door, a very cozy set up, although I bet they get tired of people standing over them instead of using those cushy chairs. There was a check-in treat, a local confection. The building has an elevator. There's an enclosed outdoor area with tables, and it leads to the other building, but we didn't explore that. The exit stairs let out into it. There's a little cafe further into the lobby. We had breakfast, and drinks during happy hour. People seem happy to be there whether they are working or lodging; I know I enjoyed myself. In the next block is a Ruby Slipper Cafe (diner?). It is great, it's a brunch cafe, do not hesitate, but if you get up late just forget it. The lines are powerful. I think it's the mimosa flight. Or the bacon. Weaknesses of the St. James include the valet parking which is clearly priced at a punitive value, but we parked on Lasalle and got some steps in, about a 20 minute walk. The St. James does have a loading zone in front of the hotel (and Magazine is one way). I was concerned about hygiene issues in the cafe--hand to face to utensils contact, and we saw a mouse streak by and conceal itself under the counter near the coffee station (but the temps had dropped that night, which makes rodents get brave). The hand hygiene is more of a concern for me, but I didn't have any illness, so it's worth another try. Read less
