“A boutique hotel next to the arty Warehouse District. Minimalist rooms in soft pink and blue contrast nicely with plush communal areas. There's a dining room in jewelled tones, sultry cocktail bar, plus a range of poetry, art, music and comedy events. An opulent stay in romantic surroundings. ”

Kimpton Hotel Fontenot

Located on the corner of Poydras and Tchoupitoulas streets, the hotel is within easy walking distance of the French Quarter, the Mississippi River and all of the city’s downtown attractions. A new arrival, the hotel is already creating a buzz and the opening has attracted the city’s scenesters to check out the much-vaunted Peacock Room. For now, the crowd skews young and curious—the early adopters of the New Orleans hotel scene.
