The Drifter Hotel
Hotel · New Orleans, LA
About
The Drifter Hotel stands out from other New Orleans hotels by blending a 1950's motel exterior with a modern concept. It opened in 2017 after a substantial renovation of the original Tulane Avenue motel. The property features a coffee bar with La Colombe Coffee Roasters, a full bar, and a pool. Food trucks, local artists, and regular pool parties create a lively, self-contained atmosphere.
Pool parties are frequent, often with themed events. The coffee bar serves as a social hub with free high-speed fiber WiFi. Yelp data notes the venue may be permanently closed, so check current status before visiting. If you're looking for a classic French Quarter stay, nearby Hotel Monteleone offers a more traditional experience.
