The room was absolutely gorgeous, we felt like we were staying in a luxury Parisian hotel. Although the hotel was built in 1820 and is showing signs of age, the room is sparkling clean and all the furnishings newly appointed with luxurious bedding and down pillows. We live in an 1890's house so we appreciate it's charm and history. The check in was effortless and the staff was friendly. They also allow early luggage drop off which was a major plus in New Orleans as we didn't want to leave it in the car. Diana gave us great advice on an inexpensive parking garage nearby. The place is right in the middle of the French Quarter, just a few steps from Bourbon St. and an easy walk to all the best restaurants and music spots.
