New Orleans’ vibrant French Quarter
With its wrought-iron balconies and stone-flagged courtyard, the atmospheric Soniat House enjoys an enviably quiet location within New Orleans’ vibrant French Quarter.
Made up of three characterful townhouses, the property was originally built in the early 19th century. Following a tasteful restoration that preserved much of the original architecture, the Soniat House re-opened its doors to the public with 30 individually designed rooms. Each is a refined, high-ceilinged pastel haven fitted with elegant canopy beds, fine objets d’art and European furnishings, with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light.
Step out of the hotel and you’ll find yourself on historic Chartres Street in the midst of art galleries and antique stores, with the delights of Bourbon and Frenchman Street a mere stroll away. Before you head out, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast of homemade buttermilk biscuits, Louisiana strawberry jam and freshly squeezed orange juice in the quiet courtyard. There is no on-site restaurant, but there is no shortage of enticing eateries to explore nearby.
