The Old 77 Hotel

The Old 77 Hotel and Chandlery is in a great location in the Warehouse District, just three blocks from the French Quarter. It’s close to lots of great places to eat, and the streetcar too. They also have an award winning resutarant in Compere Lapin that’s a great spot for dining or enjoying an adult beverage.

Another thing I love about the Old 77 is they support local artists and artisans, exhibiting their works and selling their products. The Old 77 is pet friendly, too.

They have a wide range of rooms from a studio loft, to artist inspired suites, ito nteriors rooms for those that don’t want any hint of daylight. Rooms feature exposed brick and hardwood floors. Located at 535 Tchoupitoulas Street, you’re so close to all the energy of the French Quarter, yet far enough away to not be bombarded by the noise and activity when you’re ready to rest.
