We’re a classic; timeless style, not fleeting fashion. We offer a taste of this impossibly unique city, and an experience that is now more than ever laced with an authenticity that you can feel and love just like we do.

Lemon Water
Zesty, minty - to refresh the spirit and clear the mind for the next exploration. Available in the lobby, at your leisure.
Wall St. Journal
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.
Our Favorite Haunts – Neighborhood Guide
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 an intimate introduction to our local vibe.
Best Coffee
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 Eliot and Ian - founders of CONGREGATION COFFEE ROASTERS - a hidden gem, small-batch roaster in the historic Algiers Point neighborhood. DRINK COFFEE. BE AWESOME. Enjoy these tasty beans from 7:00 - 10:30 AM. Our gift to you, with thanks, for being a member of our congregation!
Gallery
We love rebels. Artists. Entrepreneurs. The creative ones - whose art lives at the leading edge, the 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 and the nation’s largest BANKSY mural and story in the lobby.
Fitness Room
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.
Water
"Hydrate feel great" with two small bottles - glass never plastic - of the best Mountain Valley spring water we know, ON US!
Wi-fi
The Big Easy is famous for its island ways and leisurely pace, but who wants that when it's time to catch up on e-mails or a favorite show in the comfort of your room. Our blazing high-speed WiFi ensures you stay current - living here, still working there - with no break in the action.
Bikes
International House has a fleet of beautiful Chatham Plus cruisers by the talented folks at Retrospec bikes. Ride Crescent Park to experience the Mississippi River or the necklace of neighborhoods along the riverfront from Uptown and the Garden District to Marigny, Bywater and the Lower Ninth. There is no better way experience the Crescent City than by bike. First come, first serve, so dial up your wheels at Guest Services 504-553-9550.
