On the doorstep are many attractions, restaurants and live music, or the new Streetcar line is just one block from the hotel.

The spacious rooms are simply decorated and comfy – a relaxing retreat after a busy day of sightseeing – many have balconies with decorative ironwork overlooking the large courtyard or the French Quarter.

If you need a break from seeing the sights, relax for a few hours in the hotel’s courtyard, which boasts one of the largest heated swimming pools in the French Quarter with restful poolside cabanas. Later, the on-site restaurant is perfect for a spot of people watching at the corner of Toulouse and Burgundy, the restaurant also hosts local musicians on Friday evenings.

Rooms are air conditioned with WiFi, cable TV, hairdryer and ironing equipment.
