Small touches

Each guestroom at the Henry Howard Hotel is a masterpiece of style, showcasing custom toile wallpaper, jazz-inspired décor, vintage furnishings, and handpicked local artwork. Luxurious details abound, from 100% ring-spun cotton sheets and down duvets to bespoke bathrobes and plush towels that make every moment feel indulgent. Beekman 1802 bath products, with their bright, refreshing scents, add a touch of sophistication to your stay. Some guestrooms also feature private balconies, perfect for soaking in the New Orleans vibe. Shared spaces, such as the stunning Parlor with its vaulted ceilings, the serene back courtyard, and the lively balcony patio overlooking St. Charles Avenue, provide ideal spots to unwind or catch the excitement of Mardi Gras.

Eat and drink

The Parlor is a stylish retreat where vaulted ceilings, original crown molding, and red-pine floors create an atmosphere of timeless charm with a modern flair. Start the day with freshly brewed coffee and pastries, then settle into the inviting lounge, the tranquil courtyard, or the iconic porch to sip on expertly crafted cocktails. Prefer to explore? Take your drink to-geaux for a stroll down Magazine Street, and for local restaurant recommendations, don't hesitate to ask the staff.
