Where to Stay: ONE11 Hotel
ONE11 has changed the hotel game in New Orleans with its debut as the French Quarters’ first new hotel in over 50 years. The 8-story, 83-room boutique hotel resides in the historic Sugar District Waterfront and evokes a bygone era, in what was once the heart of the New Orleans sugar processing industry. Well-fitted accommodations are complemented by an incredible swimming pool and courtyard with an outdoor fireplace, plus a vibrant rooftop featuring panoramic views of the French Quarter and Mississippi River. Batture Bistro + Bar is their sleek, yet casual, hub for craft cocktails and NOLA-style nibbles, but be sure to save room for Compère Lapin, The Carousel Bar & Lounge, Seaworthy and Josephine Estelle at the Ace Hotel.
