Le Pavillon Hotel

Le Pavillon Hotel is a historic hotel dating to 1907 at 833 Poydras Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana. The French Quarter, Canal Street and the Warehouse District are all within a fifteen-minute walk, the Superdome and Smoothie King Center are close by, and the St. Charles streetcar is within easy reach. The hotel is known for its grand lobby with chandeliers, marble and period detail that evoke the city's early 20th-century elegance, and it has a reputation as one of the city's classic downtown hotels. It sits in the mid-range category, with nightly rates generally between about US$140 and US$320. Room types include King rooms, Double Queen rooms and suites, with a traditional style that matches the building's age. Listed amenities include a swimming pool, a restaurant and a fitness center, and the pool is located on the rooftop-level terrace area where guests can relax in warm weather. A quirky tradition of the hotel is the nightly complimentary peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich snack, offered as a late-night treat and often mentioned by visitors. The on-site restaurant provides meals during the day, and the CBD and Warehouse District offer many additional dining choices within walking distance. Service is friendly and traditional, welcoming a mix of leisure travelers, families and business guests, with a staff known for hospitality. The hotel is also associated with local lore and ghost-tour interest, as many older New Orleans hotels are. Poydras Street is a busy thoroughfare, so street-facing rooms can be noisy, particularly on event nights at the nearby stadium and arena. The location is calmer at night than the Quarter. Parking is typically available through valet for a fee. Reservations are advisable ahead of Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Sugar Bowl and other major events, when prices rise and rooms are scarce.
