Park View Historic Hotel, New Orleans
More photosThe Park View Historic Hotel is a true Uptown New Orleans treasure. Built in 1884, the property was originally constructed to accommodate visitors for the famed World’s Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition. Today, it remains a proud member of the National Register of Historic Landmarks, having been lovingly restored by locals to preserve its authentic Southern charm.
Stepping inside feels like taking a trip back in time. The hotel is filled with period antiques, and many of the 22 guest rooms feature unique historic touches, such as four-poster beds dating back to the mid-1800s. No two rooms are exactly alike, providing a personalized and intimate experience that’s hard to find in larger city hotels.
One of the best features is the hotel’s location right on St. Charles Avenue, overlooking the lush Audubon Park. Whether you are relaxing on a balcony with a view of the park’s massive oak trees or enjoying a quiet moment in the “Gilded Perch” bar, it’s a perfect spot to unwind.
The iconic St. Charles streetcar line stops right outside the front door, offering an easy, scenic ride into the heart of the city. You are also just a short distance from major landmarks like Tulane and Loyola universities, making it an excellent base for exploring the vibrant culture, architecture, and historic atmosphere of New Orleans.

Maison Perrier Bed & Breakfast, New Orleans
Maison Perrier Bed & Breakfast is a beautifully preserved Eastlake-Victorian gem located in the heart of New Orleans' historic Garden District. Built in 1892, the home was originally commissioned by the owner of the famous Jackson Brewery to house his family and upper management. Today, it stands as a registered historic place, offering guests a glimpse into late 19th-century elegance paired with modern comforts.
Frommers“The impressive exterior of this former house of ill repute is frillier than inside, though there is still plenty to impress here. Antiques abound, and a smattering of country touches help create genuine, warm comfort. The beds are deep and piled with soft, girly linens; and room configurations are amenable to couples, families, and friends.”
