İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar

- Heated rooftop pool with year-round views of the Mississippi River
Hızlı Özet: A stunning historic landmark that trades modern room dimensions for old-world charm and a faint scent of yesteryear.
@theandreaandrade tarafından değerlendirildi: I stayed here with my dog and was blown away. The rooftop pool is stunning, but the real highlight was the branded treats they gave my pup! The suite was huge and the lobby is breathtaking. It’s the perfect spot for a luxe trip without leaving your best friend behind.

Reality check
You are paying for the address and the history, not for a spacious bathroom or cutting-edge technology in the base-tier rooms.
- You appreciate literary history (Hemingway, Faulkner stayed here)
- You want a heated rooftop pool open year-round
- You plan to spend more time exploring the Quarter than sitting in your room
Temizlik & Bakım
8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable and staff are praised, but they battle the dust of a century-old building.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean but dated in standard rooms; grout lines show age. Renovated rooms are sparkling.
- Maintenance: Generally good, but expect creaky floors, peeling paint on exterior windows, and occasional AC rattles.
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp white linens that feel fresh.
- Odors & scents: A persistent, subtle musty odor in hallways and older rooms—the 'scent of history.'

SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is the Carousel Bar really worth the hype?
Yes, for one drink. It spins once every 15 minutes. Go at 11 AM when it opens to grab a seat without hovering.
Does the hotel have a resort fee?
No, there is no mandatory daily resort fee, though valet and pet fees are high.
Is the pool open in winter?
Yes, the rooftop pool is heated and open year-round from 6 AM to 10 PM.
Are the rooms haunted?
Legend says yes, specifically the 14th floor (actually the 13th) and the 'Maurice' ghost room.
How bad is the parking situation?
Valet is expensive (~$54+ tax) but highly recommended as street parking is non-existent and nearby garages are sketchy.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, for a $100 non-refundable cleaning fee plus $25/night. They get a mat and bowls.

Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The 'Traditional' rooms are shockingly small—barely enough room to open a large suitcase.
💡The 'old hotel smell' is real; it's a mix of history, humidity, and carpet.
💡You can hear your neighbors in the hallway clearly through the vintage doors.
💡The rooftop pool bar (Acqua Bella) closes early (around 6 PM in off-peak seasons).
💡The 14th floor is technically the 13th floor, which they skipped numbering due to superstition.
