Often regarded as one of the New Orlean's best kept secrets, the Hotel Provincial in the heart of the French Quarter stands less than three blocks from boisterous Bourbon Street and the famous Café Du Monde, and 10 blocks from the Victorian shops and cafes of the Riverwalk. Two blocks away, Jackson Square serves as home to countless street musicians, as well as some of the city's most historic buildings. Streets lined with wrought-iron balconies and shaded courtyards ooze Old World charm, while elegant antique shops on Royal and Chartres streets tempt shoppers.
Entering the Provincial, with its checkerboard marble floors and tall windows, is like stepping into an antebellum world with air conditioning. The hotel comprises landmark buildings that include a former military hospital and early-1800s living quarters. Guests will find the charms of a hidden French Quarter courtyard, which surrounds four outdoor garden patios, with swimming pools.
For unique regional cuisine, guests should check out the hotel's Stella], named after Marlon Brando's classic line in A Streetcar Named Desire, the movie set in New Orleans. Vacationers can mix with locals at the hotel's Honfluer Bar and have beignets and muffulettas in an inexpensive street café.
Exuding a relaxing ambience, guestrooms come complete with French-Creole-style antique furniture, plush mattresses, feather pillows, floral prints and Internet access.
With its location in the French Quarter and attention to detail and history, the Hotel Provincial remains a favorite of travelers seeking those special experiences while in New Orleans.
Please note:
The hotel have temporarily closed the bar, with the eminent anticipation of the opening of Stanley, our new breakfast, lunch and bar venue beginning of September. |
