“A hip retro hotel offering impeccably friendly service and old-school chic design. A total refurbishment has bought this historic hotel back to life. Rooms are elegant and light complete with Mad Men-esque minibars. While the Caribbean fine-dining restaurant & chic rooftop bar complete the picture.”

The Pontchartrain

This recently reopened hotel has been born again after first making a splash as a hotel in the Fourties. It breathes fresh, beautifully retro new life into the New Orleans hotel scene. Stepping back in time doesn’t happen much more stylishly than this.

Attention to design details and value for money make The Pontchartrain Hotel a must-stay for anyone unafraid to stay outside of the French Quarter.
