And as a New Orleans pet-friendly hotel, why not bring your pooch along with you to discover the Big Easy?
Ace Hotel
The ultimate queen of cool hotel chains finally sauntered into NOLA and started taking reservations in early 2016, adding another page to the city’s cool repertoire.
The palate here is dark and rich- walls are painted dark as are the linens for a dramatic effect. Rich wood and buttery dark leathers round out the sophisticated effect.
Ace Hotel is located in the Warehouse District, home to art galleries and bespoke cocktails galore, as well as a saunter to the French Quarter and the up and coming South Market District.
The W French Quarter
The W French Quarter is perfectly suited to its French Quarter location with its jazz-themed rooms, beautiful tree-lined courtyard with a signature W WET pool and street-facing balconies.
