Kimpton Hotel Fontenot is a lush oasis in the heart of New Orleans' bustling downtown neighborhood, where you will feel like a local from the moment you check in. It offers an authentic New Orleans setting for weddings and other special events with a range of stylish indoor and outdoor spaces for up to 300 guests in 235 comfortable rooms and suites. What's more, the venue is pet-friendly, so your furry friends can join the celebrations, too.
Prepare for your day in one of the luxurious suites and then, grab a cup of coffee …or something slightly stronger… at 'Gospel Coffee and Boozy Treats' before exploring the history and stories that ring through the streets of the French Quarter. By night, sip an elaborate cocktail in Peacock Room, a bright and lively addition to New Orleans’ nightlife. Peacock Room and King Brasserie are also available for private welcome receptions, rehearsal dinners, afterparties and farewell brunches.
Now with the unveiling of The Historic 1844 Building in Spring 2023, weddings, galas, and meetings alike will be set against the backdrop of old New Orleans meets elevated remodeling and styling. Canary Ballroom, with its beautiful chandeliers, exposed brick walls and elegant carpet is the perfect blank canvas for any special event, while the newly refurbished outdoor terrace allows the opportunity for a wedding ceremony, cocktail hour or reception while overlooking downtown New Orleans and enjoying the Mississippi River breeze.
Add in our award winning culinary team, led by Chef Samuel Peery, and we are ready to host, celebrate, and cheers you whatever the occasion.
