The Best Hotels to Book in New Orleans for Mardi Gras - AFAR
"A vintage-glamour landmark on the Uptown St. Charles Avenue parade route, this mid-century hotel (renovated in 2016) blends European and Caribbean–style furnishings across 106 rooms and lively public spaces. Parade-goers can pick up to-go cocktails and food from Bayou Bar (which opens early on parade days) or visit Silver Whistle Café, and the hotel leans into playful Mardi Gras treats like $6 Jell-O shots flavored with ube, pandan, or passion fruit. Its restaurants host special programming such as a Jack Rose lunch featuring Mardi Gras Indians and an Iris-inspired Saturday lunch with purple drinks and themed dishes." - Lyndsey Matthews
