Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
French Quarter
A 1300-room Beaux-Arts tower that has anchored the Quarter since 1886, famous for its rotating Carousel Bar — a 25-seat merry-go-round cocktail lounge that turns slowly enough to maintain the illusion of sobriety. The hotel has hosted Hemingway, Faulkner, and Tennessee Williams, all of whom have rooms named after them.
Garden District
A beloved 1927 Garden District landmark recently restored to its full Jazz Age splendour, with hand-painted murals, the exceptional Caribbean Room restaurant, and a rooftop with views across the city's oak-canopied residential landscape. The Magazine Street streetcar stops outside the door.
French Quarter
A 33-room hidden masterpiece tucked into two adjoining 1830s Creole townhouses, with antique-filled rooms around a magnolia courtyard and a service philosophy modelled on a private house party. There's no restaurant (intentionally), no pool, and no pool bar — and yet guests return year after year because the romance and quiet are irreplaceable.
Warehouse District
A converted 1928 pharmaceutical warehouse in the Arts/Warehouse District with the Seaworthy raw-bar restaurant, an excellent pool deck, and the social energy that Ace properties always generate. The neighbourhood location puts you near the National WWII Museum and the Contemporary Arts Center.
Faubourg Marigny
A 27-room boutique on the edge of the Marigny, steps from Frenchmen Street's legendary live music strip — the real New Orleans jazz experience that Bourbon Street has long since forfeited. Two courtyards, a small pool, and a jazz-community energy make this an ideal base for serious music fans.
Central Business District
Built in 1907 as the New Hotel Denechaud, Le Pavillon has been independently owned since the 1970s and operates with a fierce idiosyncratic personality — including the legendary nightly peanut butter and jelly sandwich service at the front desk and a stunning lobby marble colonnade imported from Europe.
