Of you want that authentic “vintage” feeling while staying in the Lower Garden District, The Hotel Pontchartrain is fantastic choice. We stayed with our teenagers in a one bedroom that had a king and two singles in a separate bedroom. A perfect arrangement! It was a corner room with large windows everything in the suite has the vintage vibe from the bedding and voluminous drapery to the tiled bathroom which includes a mock medicine cabinet already filled with curiosities. At the same time, it’s nicely air conditioned, with a flat screen, hidden mini-fridge, and nice water pressure. The beds were very comfy! The lobby is swanky and gorgeous though small. There is a bar downstairs with live music and a roof top bar that are both very lively spots for night life. A huge bonus is the Whistle Stop Cafe nestled on the ground floor. This coffee shop is worth 10 stars. The chai lattes, mochas, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches…all fantastic. The staff, SO nice. And the decor is adorable.
