"This was my fourth time traveling to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail, and there are a few very important things I look for when choosing a hotel for that event. First of all, it has to be close - but not too close - to the French Quarter, where a lot of the Tales action goes down. I want to be within walking distance of events so the swampy July heat doesn't kill me, but I also want a quiet locale to go back to after the day's festivities are done. A location in NOLA's Warehouse District ticks this box perfectly."
"Secondly, I need the room to swaddle me in spacious comfort. There's nothing better than spreading out in a large hotel room by yourself, and after a day of being body-to-body with other Tales goers, I don't want to sleep in a shoebox. Both this past July and in 2017, I opted for a Tchoupitoulas King room, which features floor-to-ceiling windows, beautiful hardwood floors and a writing desk where I was able to get some morning work done before hitting the town."
"Lastly, I need breakfast to be an elevator ride away. I always prefer if my hotel serves breakfast, but this is especially important in New Orleans, where the previous night's transgressions can often still be felt before that first cup of coffee. Lobby coffee shop Tout La shares a kitchen with Compère Lapin, helmed by award-winning chef Nina Compton. The food is hearty and nourishing, and the coffee is excellent."
The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery provides a comfortable, quietly located base in New Orleans's Warehouse District, close enough to the French Quarter for easy walking access. The property appeals to visitors who want roomy accommodations, exemplified by the Tchoupitoulas King with floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, and a writing desk. On-site food options include lobby coffee shop Tout La and Compère Lapin, run by award-winning chef Nina Compton, delivering hearty, nourishing meals and excellent coffee. The hotel also hosted a lunch featuring Chairman's Reserve rum, and remains a reliable choice for extended stays.
