A luxuriously appointed New Orleans hotel with rooms designed for modern comfort blending with old-school touches. Like its flapper era origins of the past, occupants can expect that intimate feeling being “in-residence” affords and inspires. With a panoramic rooftop and three additional dining and entertaining emporiums, including its social coaster Bayou Bar it makes for a magically transportive space for work or for relaxation. Collectively, it’s a European, elegantly effortless sanctuary. Located in the Garden District at the crossroads to downtown and uptown entertaining, restaurants, music, shopping and business conferences.

Location

Located in New Orleans’ historic Garden District area along the St. Charles Avenue carnival route, its 200-year-old oak trees draped with Mardi Gras beads, the Pontchartrain Hotel boasts the singular convenience of the city’s clanging streetcar line running directly to its doorstep. The storied New Orleans hotel, beloved by locals and recently renovated with respect to its timeless aura and original bones, is at the crossroads to downtown and uptown entertaining, restaurants, music, shopping and business conferences. It is minutes from downtown’s boisterous French Quarter scene, the theater and commerce Central Business District row and live jazz hub the Faubourg Marigny as well as uptown’s tony University Area (Tulane and Loyola), the youthful indie vibed shopping and fine dining Magazine Street sprawl alongside the Spanish moss-cloaked Audubon Park and Zoo. Drive, stroll (recommended), bicycle or take the streetcar to randomly hop off at all points in between. From the magnificently decrepit cemeteries to grand architectural gems, oh, the things you will see.
