Spectacular Hotel
This is a beautiful hotel. Located at the corner of St. Louis at Royal in the heart of the historic French Quarter. No need for a car here, everything is within walking distance, cab ride or a horse drawn carriage.
There are 346 guest rooms that are furnished in 19th century New Orleans decor and are very comfortable. All rooms have marble bathrooms and executive writing desks. Our room didn't have a private balcony, however, it did over look the streets of Royal and St. Louis.
We were there the week before Christmas and it was decorated beautifully with LIVE Christmas trees in the entry way. Live music at night and street actors playing out scenes in the lounge area. Really neat.
The servies was amazing. On our first day, that didn't finish until our second day, at about 7:00 a.m. there was a beeping sound from a construction vehicle right outside our window. Needless to say, it was quite anoying since we had just gotten to bed a couple of your prior. We called down and told them about it and within a minute it stopped. I don't know if it was because they didn't want us to throw something out the window onto the vehicle or if they were just giving us good service. HA! Nun the less, it is a wonderful place to stay and will be our place of choice when we visit New Orleans again.
Unique Quality: The Touche Bar which is a popular French Quarter bar serving salads, sandwiches and light entrees. The entrance is located on Royal Street. Open 11 am - Midnight Sun. - Thu. and 11 am - 1 am Fri. and Sat.
This is a great place to rest after shopping or to grab a cocktail befor dinner.
