Our take
By Matt Spaulding, Founder and writer
The building sits on the corner where Bourbon Street ends at Canal, and that position is doing most of the work. Guests writing through the summer of 2026 describe rooms that have not kept up, with stained carpet and a stale smell recurring often enough to plan around. Nothing in this year's reviews points to a refresh. Plumbing failures have forced room changes, and more than one recent stay involved a cold shower blamed on a failing boiler. The door and bell staff draw the warmest comments while the front desk collects the slow check-ins and the requests nobody came back on. Some guests say their room slept fine for the address while others describe thin walls, and nothing recent reconciles the two. Elevator noise is the one complaint that turns up on both sides of that split. A first-timer who wants the Quarter's front door and will not be in the room much can live with the condition. Anyone who needs fresh finishes or dependable maintenance is going to be unhappy in this building. With no destination fee listed on IHG's hotel detail page, parking is the only add-on, and it is valet or nothing: $49 a night plus tax, or $59 for an oversized vehicle.

Does the Astor Crowne Plaza charge a resort or destination fee?
None appears on IHG's hotel detail page, which was read in a browser on 2026-09-19. A mandatory nightly charge at a chain hotel sometimes shows up only on the booking screen, so read the total before you pay.
How much is parking at the Astor Crowne Plaza?
$49 a night plus tax for valet, or $59 plus tax for an oversized vehicle. Valet is the only option the hotel offers, and there is no self-park lot, so a cheaper Canal Street garage means walking back with your bags.
When were the Astor Crowne Plaza's rooms last renovated?
No renovation we could verify. A widely repeated claim about a 2016 project doesn't hold up against anything we were able to source, so it isn't on this page, and guests writing in August and September 2026 still describe worn carpet and dated fixtures.
Can you hear Bourbon Street from the rooms?
Guests disagree, and nothing recent settles it. Some say their room slept fine for a hotel on this corner, while others describe thin walls. Elevator noise comes up on both sides of that, so a room away from the elevator bank is the request worth making.
How does arriving by car work at the Canal and Bourbon corner?
You pull up on Canal Street and hand the keys to the valet, because valet is the only parking the hotel offers. Canal is wide and busy with the streetcar lines down the middle, and there is no hotel lot to sit in while you check in.
