A 24-hour staff we call “ambassadors”, essentially concierges who are delighted to arrange any reservation or service and provide personal advice on our local favorites so you can Stay Authentic and Live it like a Local.

Whether with Sorrento Lemons from our own grove or local Satsuma and fresh cucumber when in season, hydrate to feel great with this refreshing taste of local citrus infused water. Complimentary in the lobby.

Maybe the best paper in the world. And we still like hard copy. Enjoy "the world’s most trusted source of news” - especially the amazing Weekend Edition.

It sometimes takes years to find your go-to spots. Coffee shops, bars, restaurants where after a few sips and conversation with local regulars and like-minded staff, a visitor stops feeling like a tourist and begins to navigate the city’s ways - to the delight of locals, who in that same conversation renew our wonderment at this place we love and call home. Favorite Haunts is that: our favorite “hangs”. Not an exhaustive list.  But a pretty great personal introduction to this good city.

Forever one of America’s coffee capitals, neighborhood java joints, burnt clouds of roasting and whole beans from around the world still flavor New Orleans today. Our favorite is made by Jonathan - founder of MAMMOTH COFFEE COMPANY - a hidden gem, small-batch roaster located just a few blocks from the hotel. Enjoy these tasty beans from 7:00 - 10:30 AM.

We love rebels. Artists. Entrepreneurs. The creative ones, whose art lives at the leading edge - a prism through which one sees what popular culture believes about a person or subject at moments in time. We hope you are inspired by the second floor MAGDALENA gallery, as well as the lobby’s two extraordinary BANKSY murals and stories behind these stencils by the world’s most famous artist.

Hit the steel or ramp up your heart rate on a treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine, spinning bike or, yep, the heavy bag in the hotel’s “Kronk style” gym. Open 24-hours.
