The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery

Five converted 19th-century warehouse floors on Tchoupitoulas Street give Old No. 77 its exposed brick and cast-iron column bones, one block from the Mississippi River and a ten-minute walk to Bourbon Street's edge — a fit for travelers wanting Warehouse District quiet over French Quarter noise.

The ground-floor bar runs a rotating local-art program instead of standard lobby decor, and staff keep bicycles for guests riding the riverfront levee path.

Breakfast-to-go containers suit early departures for the nearby Ferry Building streetcar stop, and pet bowls are set out for traveling dogs.
