beaucajun Posted August 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 27, 2018 We've never stayed there but have always wanted to. That area of town is very safe on Poydras. We normally stay at the Staybridge Suites or the Drury Inn which are close by. Enjoy your stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegummermom Posted August 27, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Thanks. From the pictures it looks very nice and I like that it was an old bank. I’ll post my review after staying. It’s close to port as well which was a factor for us. Have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaware32 Posted August 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 27, 2018 We stayed there on our first trip to NOLA . Nice boutique bank hotel. We wanted to be closer to the Quarter on our next trips so we've stayed elsewhere since then . Nice area and not too far from catching the St. Charles streetcar .

bubblegummermom Posted August 27, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Thanks for your response. I like it too that streetcar is nearby. Can I ask if you booked direct or through a diff website like expedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaucajun Posted August 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Here's the website for that group of hotels in New Orleans. http://www.neworleanshotelcollection.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delaware32 Posted August 27, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 27, 2018 If I recall, I booked through the Wyndam website . Check and see which has the better pricing . I'm usually willing to pay a little more if no deposit and free cancellation is available at booking . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsotm73 Posted August 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I've worked at Whitney Bank (now Hancock Whitney) for 28 years, and always thought that was our most attractive branch. Lots of marble and brass. Never stayed at the hotel though. Please let us now how your stay is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCTiger9704 Posted September 25, 2018 #10 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Stayed there for a bachelor party that was being held in the French Quarter area a few years ago. It was a nice hotel when I stayed and the employees were extremely nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
