This is so classic place! The foods looks so delicious. I feel the vibes on those picture. And also i even taste the food with an eye. It is prepared very good and garnish on its perfection!
It does look like such an amazing place to stay. If I am ever in New Orleans I will have to remember this at some point. Such an amazing room as well. Love the artistic looks.
WOW. Looks amazing. I totally know you enjoyed because i can feel your energy just reading your views. My husband has been to New Orleans before and he said there are very nice places to stay indeed.
I would stay here off looks alone. It is visually stunning, this is the vibe I like when I enter a hotel. The decor is everything. The food has me drooling, the menu is so New Orleans. I need more of that in my life.
I would absolutely stay here! The accomodations look beautiful! The food, bar, and coffee are also added bonuses. Plus who could deny the “Instagrammable photo ops??
New Orleans is one of our favorite cities. When my husband and I were dating and living in MS, we’d ride down to NO for the weekend to hang out.
We definitely need to go back.
The food alone will put you into a sugar coma. We’ll look into staying at Le Meridien!
So beautiful–and that view! Amazing! Crab cakes are one of my favorite foods. I’ve never had them creole style but I think that would be a perfect complement to the flavor. Thanks for sharing!
The hotel looks wonderful, I love how big the room is and how delicious the food looks like. The lobby is very pretty as well, with that hip modern decor.
That looks like the perfect hotel in a great location. It also really makes me want to get myself back to New Orleans, which is just an incredible spot!
Wow! I vacationed in beautiful mystical for the first, I had an amazing experience. Wonderful tours, delectable savory Creole/ Cajun style flavored enriched cuisines & quenching drinks were very good. Looks like I became a foodie connoisseur. Hehe.
