Historic church, school, convent, rectory reborn as chic hotel.
"Housed across four charming 1860s buildings in New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood—The School House, The Rectory, The Church, and The Convent—this boutique hotel blends historic architecture with cozy, European-style guestrooms (many with clawfoot tubs) and an award-winning cocktail program centered in an intimate parlor bar." - Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo Jessica Vadillo is the editorial assistant at Travel + Leisure.

"A New Orleans hotel will host a celebration of life on Saturday, February 22 at 2 p.m. (doors open at 1:30 p.m.), with a reception featuring red beans and rice and beer to follow from 2 to 6 p.m. Author Sara Roahen wrote in her book Gumbo Tales: "In the beginning, the majority of Pableaux’s red beans [and rice dinner] invitees were transplants to the city, often fresh from the U-Haul." She continued, "Because his ritual was identical to what New Orleans natives also do on Mondays, including those who open cans of Blue Runner beans, for many of us the first red bean Monday at Pableaux’s marked the first time we felt like active, meaningful participants in the local culture of domestic eating." Roahen adds, "I don’t think it’s exaggerating to say that through the humble red bean, Pableaux single-handedly helped countless people begin to love living in this city." Writer and documentary filmmaker Lolis Eric Elie reflected on his generosity: "By communal infrastructure he meant everything that a friend might need over time. Skills, tools, food, knowledge, a listening ear, a place to sleep. He gave of them generously." - Stephanie Carter
"New Orleans is a vibrant city known for its lively music scene and historic charm, offering memorable experiences like live concerts at iconic venues."
"Of all the boutique hotels that have landed in New Orleans over the past few years, none gets into the bones of the city like this one. Beyond the heavy mint-green doors, the foyer smells of gardenias. It’s bright, airy, colorful, with a canary-yellow check-in counter and equally bright welcome. Star design team Ash NYC has revived the former 19th-century Catholic church, schoolhouse, convent, and rectory in the boho Marigny neighborhood, just northeast of the French Quarter and a walk from the sax-trumpet-clarinet licks of jazz epicenter Frenchmen Street. As with other Ash NYC hotels—The Dean, in a 1912 clergy house in Providence; the Siren, filling a Renaissance Revival building in Detroit—this place is meant to double as a destination, with sophisticated communal spaces that beg to be sat in with a chicory coffee or a Sazerac. In a city of sensory overload, Hotel Peter & Paul is the anti–Bourbon Street, where the bed linen is crisp—and a little austere, like a convent holdover—and the crowd at its Elysian Bar, brought to you by homegrown wine bar Bacchanal, is European-house-party cool." - Paul Oswell

"The hotel’s check-in and concierge is tucked to the side of a grand staircase that takes guests to compact but thoughtfully designed guest rooms where hues like pale blue, deep green, or rich burgundy reflect the city’s standing in the American South and its French history." - Khalid El Khatib
