"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
"The Chloe is housed in a Victorian mansion, built in 1891 by famed architect Thomas Sully. The 14-room boutique property has a dark-and-dreamy parlor bar, a full restaurant, and a Palm Springs-worthy swimming pool." - Jenny Adams
