Strongly Recommend This Absolutely Gorgeous Hotel! Super High Value!
The Higgins Hotel New Orleans at 1000 Magazine St sits directly across from the WWII National Museum 🏛️. It's just a 5-minute walk to the French Quarter for live jazz 🎷, and right around the corner you'll find a French bistro loved by locals 🍷. A dream come true for history buffs and foodies alike! --✘ Stepping through the door is like traveling back to the golden age! 🕰️ The lofty lobby is adorned with vintage military photos, antique typewriters, and brass chandeliers—details everywhere! Rooms feel like a classic movie set 🎞️, with four-poster beds and velvet sofas 🛋️. The marble-patterned bathrooms are so retro, they're stunning! The minibar even stocks local New Orleans hot sauce 🌶️ (though note: only 2 complimentary water bottles daily—bring your own bottle to refill at the hallway water station! 💧). --✘ Must recommend Cochon restaurant, just a 3-minute walk away! 🐖 Their smoked pork ribs with sweet & spicy sauce, paired with a Hurricane cocktail 🍹, will transport your taste buds straight onto the set of Gone with the Wind! And don’t miss the beignets sprinkled with powdered sugar for breakfast 🍩! The only small downside: it can be tricky to book during Mardi Gras 🎭, but the quiet, oak-shaded location is far more precious than the noisy Canal Street. After an evening exploring the French Quarter, retreat back to the hotel—its historic revolving door separates two different worlds 🚪. --✘ All in all, this place blends historic charm and artistic vibes perfectly! Ideal for those who love old-city stories, and even business travelers will find it fitting~ 🦙~ (P.S. Hidden photo spot: the leather sofa in the library corner 📚. At 4 PM, the slanting light through the stained-glass window creates a perfect, filter-ready photo!) --✘ 🏨 The Higgins Hotel New Orleans, Curio Collection by Hilton 📍 1000 Magazine St, New Orleans 🚶♀️ Pro Walking Tip: From the hotel, you can explore Garden District galleries and Lafayette Cemetery on foot—a perfect mix of artsy and spooky! 👻 💡 Don’t forget to bring a vintage dress—every corner is a Vogue photoshoot waiting to happen! 📸 What’s the most charming historic hotel you’ve ever stayed in?
