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

"Housed on Toulouse Street in the heart of the French Quarter, I felt the spirit of New Orleans in this reinvention of the Maison de Ville (itself a reworking of a 1791 townhouse): the 14 rooms retain historic ambiance with intentionally retained blemishes, the quiet courtyard bar offers refuge from the Quarter's wildness, and you can practically imagine Tennessee Williams stepping through the alcove for a cortado or mimosa. Morning jazz from the Court of Two Sisters drifts in, and the courtyard bar Peychaud's — named for the bitters' inventor — anchors the hotel's connection to local cocktail history." - The MICHELIN Guide
