Our stay was absolutely amazing. The staff was on of the best parts of our stay. Everyone we encountered was helpful, pleasant wore a smile. And treated our little 3 year old like king of the castle. Some construction across the street (massive new resort) but this did not bother us or take away from the experience. My little family and I look forward to visiting again.

We booked two rooms. Excellent hotel and the amenities were great. They had free chilled water bottles that was so great because you could grab them on way out in the morning and when coming back, free breakfast delivered to your room, or their rooftop terrace or hotel indoor seating area, coolers of tea, infused water and lemonade and bowls of fruit in hall that you could help yourself to at any time, umbrellas and bikes to borrow, complimentary wine, fruit and cheese reception every day from 5-6 and complimentary cookies and milk from 9-10. These things made our hotel stay one of the best we have ever had as a family of 7. Only negative was there was a seating area outside our doors and people would rudely sit there and conduct business while eating their breakfast and one day were woken at six AM by this.

What a beautiful property! The lobby and central sitting area of this hotel and our room could not have been decorated better. This truly felt like a boutique space versus a chain. The beds and linens felt luxurious and the service from every staff member we encountered was excellent. We enjoyed ordering our breakfast the night before and having it delivered to the room. My family enjoyed the quiches the most and there are options for cereals, yogurt, toast and muffins, fruit, and a big variety of beverages. I didn’t like the hard boiled eggs and they were the only egg option. They tasted like the ones you buy in a bag. Otherwise it was nice to have that as an easy meal before heading out to walk the town. We also enjoyed the free bottles of water in the lobby as well as lemonade, fruit infused water and bananas, apples and oranges. We timed arriving back at the hotel one of our two nights for the wine and cheese hour (5-6) and also the milk and cookies (9-10 pm). There are games in the main sitting area but we didn’t have time for them. Also know that there is valet parking for $40/night. We could have saved by parking in a nearby garage but the savings wasn’t enough to deal with that hassle. The hotel is perfectly located within easy walking distance of all of the attractions and restaurants and feet away from the water. I would highly recommend this hotel and would be excited to make a return trip.

Full of charm, nice quiet rooms of decent size (we had a two bed family room), fantastic location for French Quarter and also ferry. Nice extra touches like cheese and wine every evening. Milk and cookies at nighttime. All free. Great staff. Thank you.

This was a lovely stay from start to finish.Based on other wine hours and breakfasts I didn’t have high expectations, but I thought being able to have breakfast in the room was really a treat and there was something to satisfy everyone in my family. The wine hour had some nice little nibbles and my teen/pre teen enjoyed the lemonade and M&ms in the lobby. Our room was spacious and clean. The valet very eager to help. We took the free DASH bus from across the street a few times when we needed a break from walking.

This hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel in walking distance of everything. It is clean and the rooms lovely. We really enjoyed the breakfast on the roof patio, wine and cheese and drinks and snacks available though the day. Our kids loved the milk and cookies before bedtime. We will come again.

This property is lovely! It is exceptional in cleanliness. The decor is inviting, comfortable and elegant. The view of the surrounding area includes the harbor pier, a lovely well shaded park with a large fountain that provides a place to cool off for both children and adults. The Free bus stops right across the street and is perfect for getting around the city.
