BOUTIQUE & BEAUTIFUL 45
Bourbon Orleans Hotel Located at the heart of the city’s iconic French Quarter, the Bourbon Orleans Hotel recently emerged from a multi-million dollar restoration that retains its regal charms while preparing it for today’s modern traveller. Located steps from the St Louis Cathedral and Jackson Square, the Bourbon’s guest rooms are elegant yet practical, but the only way to truly experience the liveliest part of town is in one of the lavish French Quarter Suites. Our favourite is the Bourbon Balcony Loft Suite, which is located on the third floor and features a loft layout across two levels, including a living room with wet bar downstairs, a queen bedroom upstairs, and a large private balcony, perfect for evening people watching. If you’re looking to recover from a night on the town, there are also in-room wellness services from La Jardin Spa. www.bourbonorleans.com
Hotel Le Marais Unassuming from the outside, Hotel Le Marais is a journey for the senses as soon as you step inside. An effortless amalgamation of classic and modern touches, the Le Marais is a favourite with visiting artists and fashion industry insiders, who come for the modern mixology of the courtyard Bar Vive, and for the hotel’s bright vibrant rooms and neon lit public spaces. Be sure to book ahead for one of the Premium King rooms, which come complete with private balconies or courtyards, French Quarter views, spacious work areas and deluxe bath amenities. After a hard night soaking in the city’s jazz scene and Cajun cooking, cool off with a dip in the garden wreathed hotel pool, a favourite with New Orleans’ chic set. www.hotellemarais.com
