The Bar/Lounge at Four Points By Sheraton French Quarter

"Plus, the Puccini Bar occasionally features actual opera and beer tastings by the NOLA Brewing Co"

"This Sheraton property is no ordinary chain hotel: It's located on the site of the historic Old French Opera, and today's young opera singers perform in the lobby bar"

"There's also a full-service restaurant and bar, and guests here are steps away from dozens of other watering holes and eateries"

"A small rectangular unheated pool occupies the brick terrace, which sports palm greenery and green-hued umbrellas shading the patio tables, with chaise lounges set up along the pool's perimeter"

"The courtyard, with a large saltwater pool, lounge chairs, and umbrella covered tables is enclosed to give you a sense of serenity farther from the French Quarter than it actually is"
