History of Hotel

The Hotel Villa Convento is rumored to be the House of the Rising Sun and is a Creole townhouse built around 1833. Jimmy Buffett filmed a documentary on his early life in apartment 305. All of the hotel room numbers are original apartment numbers. In 1983, Warren, Lela, and Larry Campo bought the hotel, great-great-grandson of the first Campo who immigrated to Louisiana.

Courtyard and Amenities

Guests can enjoy a cup of chicory coffee in the outdoor courtyard, which features patio furniture and plants. Hotel amenities include free Wi-Fi, parking, and a computer in the lobby for guest use, plus a small collection of books.

Services Offered

The Campo family prides themselves on old world charm desk service staffed by family and long time friends. Free coffee and tea are served in the lobby. Parking is available at a secure offsite garage on Decatur St.

“Hotel Villa Convento, a Creole townhouse dating to the 1830s, stands out for its location in the French Quarter, convenient to both Bourbon Street and the French Market. What I found particularly notable is the hotel's blend of historic charm and budget-friendly accommodations, appealing to families and those seeking an authentic New Orleans experience.”
