The Pelham Hotel offers guest the elegance of New Orleans nestled between the business of downtown and the beauty of the French Quarter. On a quiet side street, the 19th-century hotel puts guests just two blocks from the shops and cafes of Riverwalk and five blocks from the bistros and boisterous bars of Bourbon Street.
The ornate lobby, cozy seating and Old World decorations turn the Pelham into an intimate hotel steeped in New Orleans tradition. This hotel sits on the 1700s plantation of Jean Baptist Lemoyne De Bienville, founder of New Orleans, who later turned it over to the Jesuits before it became the Pelham Hotel.
Guests can find plenty of dining options in the Big Easy, but the hotel's Huey's 24/7 Diner is worth a try. The restaurant serves American and New Orleans cuisine, including Cajun omelets with andouille sausage and crawfish, red beans and rice, crawfish etouffee, beef tenderloin topped with shrimp scampi sauce and andouille cornbread.
The Pelham's 60 guestrooms are furnished with antiques, four-poster beds, oil paintings, 18-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, 10- foot windows, plush bathrobes, English soaps, coffee makers, safes and wireless Internet access. Guests also receive complimentary access to fitness facilities at the Pelham's nearby siblings, the St. James, Parc St. Charles and the French Market Inn, the latter two also providing pools.
With its boutique size and side-street romantic allure, the Pelham Hotel is a favorite of couples on romantic getaways in the Big Easy. All guests will find the Pelham a perfect location close to the French Quarter, shops, nightclubs, world- renown restaurants and everything else synonymous with New Orleans.
