This small, intimate hotel, which has the feel of gracious old New Orleans, was renovated in 2007. The property is in an exciting area of the Quarter, with colorful shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues nearby. The lovely guest rooms are furnished with antiques and reproduction pieces; some have balconies overlooking one of the most beautiful courtyards in the city. The hotel is within walking distance of some of the best restaurants in the Quarter, and has its own lobby-level dining room, the Louisiana Heritage café.
