Nice boutique hotel near Louis I cemetery. Walkable to the FQ. Limited amenities… cafe doesn’t open until 8:30 and closes at 3 pm. Some dining and drinking establishments within a couple blocks… bar tonique and jewel of the south especially notable.

This hotel was beautiful! Had a very historic feel, while having the modern convenience. Make sure to visit the gift shop. You can book most any tour in the lobby. Has a great cafe, that I wish opened just a bit earlier. 4 blocks from Bourbon St, so the tipsy walk home isn't too bad. The rooms are HUGE! Nice bathroom and shower. Overall, a great place to stay.
