Cute boutique style hotel. Decor was beautiful and staff is welcoming. The Peacock room serves an amazing French 75. The coffee shop in the lobby is 10 for freshness and service. Quiet location in the business district is walkable and close to the French Quarter. I would recommend to couples, solo travelers or weekend trips.
