Our first trip to New Orleans. Friends were at a nearby hotel, but we wanted a king bed with the city view. Kay, at check-in, was cheerful, friendly and informative. Kerry, at check-out filled us in on so many facets of this hotel we didn't know, he is a gem. We arrived from Oregon in the evening, caught the sunset over the city at the penthouse Hot Tin Bar, then dined at Jack Rose on the main floor. We thought we heard live jazz, entered the Bijou Bar for life-enriching talent, everyone having a great time. The mornings, and triple lattes my husband brought up to the room from the breakfast cafe. This is a lovely hotel with just the right amount of rooms if you want personal service, everything you could want in one place. Our room had many paintings, a beautiful old desk, great bathroom with amenities, comfortable bed. We will definitely return, and were just so pleased with the choice of hotel. The St. Charles Street Car right in front was perfect for getting around.
