Henry Howard Hotel – A Favorite for Families in New Orleans
About the Hotel
Historic Boutique Hotel
The Henry Howard Hotel, built in 1867 as a double-gallery townhouse by architect Henry Howard, retains original elements like crown molding and red-pine flooring. Located in the Lower Garden District, it features 18 rooms with 12-foot ceilings, exposed brickwork, and a mix of modern and antique furnishings. Rooms include Queen or King beds with premium linens, ensuite bathrooms with Beekman 1802 toiletries, and motion-sensor night lights.
Onsite Parlor & Lounge
The Parlor, the hotel's lobby lounge, doubles as a bar serving handcrafted cocktails like Sazeracs. Original architectural details include polished wooden floors and Corinthian columns. Light jazz plays in the background. The front porch offers seating for coffee or cocktails, while the balcony patio overlooks St. Charles Avenue, a prime spot for Mardi Gras parades.
Garden District Exploration
The hotel provides a 'Walk the Garden District' guide with routes to historic mansions, antique shops, and live music venues. Magazine Street, lined with galleries and bars, is a half-block away. Nearby landmarks include Lafayette Cemetery No.1 (0.5 km), the Ogden Museum of Southern Art (1.5 km), and the French Quarter (10-minute drive).
