Excellent traditional luxury hotel experience! Food is very good. Location is walking distance to all downtown attractions. Would go back to just stay at hotel!!!
Excellent stay! Good to know the history of the hotel and city. The location is a few blocks away from the Bourbon Trail, so plan ahead if want to go there.
The hotel itself is historic and so beautiful. We ate at both restaurants during our stay and had great experiences. The rooms were clean but had a very moist, damp feel throughout the stay. They could use some updating to the fixtures, painting, etc. Rhe bed was very firm but my husband was very comfortable, so that's subjective. Ultimately was a very nice stay.
