"At Bourbon Street, across from the St. Louis Cathedral, this remarkable 1815 structure is a four-story evocation of Vieux Carre architecture with celery-green filigree."

Low-key travelers should ask for a hushed interior room deep in the property.
"Covering almost a block in the Quarter, this hotel is like a little village with its own shops, cafés, courtyards, and personalities."

Ask to be as far away from Bourbon Street as possible to avoid street noise.
"Spacious and beautifully appointed public rooms with marble floors, fountains and crystal chandeliers make this a prime rendezvous for locals and visitors. "

"French style and New Orleans panache come together in this hotel's long, wide lobby, which is flanked by one of the French Quarter's lushest courtyards."
