The Best Hotels in New Orleans — and Where to Eat Nearby

"Set in a painstakingly restored religious complex in the Marigny, I was struck by how four historic buildings — an 1860 church, an 1875 rectory and a 1900 elementary school among them — have been woven into one of the most distinctive hotel estates in the country; the design blends preserved historic spaces with carefully chosen furnishings and antiques across 71 guest rooms, and the bar and restaurant spill into a sunny cobblestone courtyard. The preserved church now hosts candlelight concerts and community events, a small outdoor pool is planned, and the development feels like a deliberate effort to promote responsible tourism in a neighborhood buffeted by short-term rentals." - The MICHELIN Guide
