"If you want a homey-yet-elevated party infused with Southern hospitality, this restored 19th-century Uptown mansion along tree-lined St. Charles Avenue delivers. The 14 individually designed rooms layer quirky touches—a Narnia-like armoire door opening to an airy bathroom—with local flavor like vinyl from Peaches Records and chocolates by Piety and Desire. The backyard pool and its bar become pure magic at night with string lights and a five-piece jazz band, and while the restaurant works for dinner, the front patio—with white marble tables, tasseled umbrellas, and French bistro chairs—sets a picturesque scene for a low-key alfresco celebration." - Christina Liao
"The ice cream sandwich is one of those traditional desserts that takes you back to childhood. Whether it was at the pool, on the porch, by campfire, or at a birthday party, the reliable ice cream sandwich was a summer staple. Luckily, the Chloe’s version can still be experienced at the boutique hotel’s pool, by a fire pit on the St. Charles Avenue porch, or after a birthday celebration in the dining room. It includes a two-inch slice of brown butter ice cream snuggled in between two huge praline crunch cookies, and it tastes even better than childhood. Seasonal hand pies are another highlight." - Adriana Lopez
"Chef Ben Triola creates cuisine that begs a double take at The Chloe, a stunning little boutique hotel Uptown. Perfectly roasted local fish may be topped with pepper-charred oysters and bits of fennel atop a creamy sauce punctuated by ethereal smoked fish dumplings. From the finest heirloom garnishes to the surprising layers of flavors, Triola’s food sets a high bar." - Beth D’Addono
"Raw egg yolks are frozen to change their texture into a jammy, more cohesive consistency that holds up better for dredging and frying or for use as a rich topping on preparations like steak tartare." - Anna Hezel
"The Chloe’s backyard pool is a sweet spot, surrounded by a back deck and pool bar. The hotel offers locals access from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for $30 during the week, $40 on weekends. Enjoy the bar and green space, but no pets and no in and out. Once you’re done, you’re done." - Beth D’Addono
