Beautiful, large room that comfortably fit a family of five with a balcony overlooking the market square. Great service. Loved all the complementary items (breakfast, wine, cheese & charcuterie, all day candy, tea, coffee & fruit, cookies, milk & port at night). Great to be in the heart of the French Quarter for first time visitor yet the hotel still felt safe and quiet.

Visit it once and you’ll want to return

Our stay was fabulous! The room we had was so comfortable and luxurious. It was tastefully decorated with warm and peaceful tones and the bathroom had the prettiest marble tiles in a striking pattern. We slept soundly; the sheets felt so good and it was quiet. Every staff member was friendly and engaging. The breakfast was amazing and so was happy hour. We loved the layout of the hotel and its unique architectural details. The location is perfect too for historic and scenic walks. We will return!

Wonderful Hotel

The hotel is wonderful. All the staff is very friendly and helpful. The wine, cheese and cookies and milk is an awesome thing. Also breakfast delivered to your room is wonderful! Hotel was very clean. We used the bikes to get around the battery and the historical area. All the complimentary stuff offered is why I booked this hotel and we were not disappointed.
