The Luxury Just blocks from the French Quarter, International House is a boutique hotel that exudes a decadently plush vibe without feeling gaudy or outdated. Johnny Depp’s designer of choice, LM Pagano, renovated the 1906 Beaux Arts building three years ago. It now showcases antique velvets, objets d’art from around the world, and room details that tastefully pay homage to the Big Easy’s jazz history. The 117 rooms include spa-like bathrooms, Aveda bath amenities, and complimentary Wi-Fi access.
