Soniat House

Discreetly hidden behind a tall gate, the Soniat House offers all the Southern elegance that you might imagine of a New Orleans hotel. Built around private gardens with dribbling fountains, the hotel is grand and old-fashioned like a classic Creole home. In fact, the property is indeed comprised of three original Creole town-houses, dating back to the early 19th century and boasting authentic touches like their original spiral stairs, balconies, and patios. The property is made up of 33 distinctly different rooms – 21 standard rooms in the main house and 12 suites across the street. The suites are a bit more splendid, with high ceilings and large bathrooms; most have Jacuzzi tubs. All are filled with antique furnishings, full-size mirrors, Egyptian cottons by Frette, and plush European fabrics. Unique accents like antique books and candelabras add to the Old World charm. www.soniathouse.com
