Such a wonderful find!!! This hotel is made up of two mansions on Esplanade Ave. between the French Quarter and Frenchman St. The rooms are well appointed and cozy. The pool and hot tub (even in the summer) was absolutely amazing after a long day walking around the town. This is our new favorite place to stay in the city we love.
