The French Quarter doesn’t always live up to its expectations, but a hotel like the Celestine New Orleans is a reminder of what makes this one of the most unique neighborhoods in America. Ten rooms and suites decorated in a retro European-inspired style look out over either busy Toulouse Street or the tranquil inner courtyard; while they’re plenty comfortable, they’re more notable for their eclectic and richly detailed style. Peychaud’s, the cocktail bar named for the famous local bitters brand, is the social heart of the Celestine, gathering guests in the courtyard over a glass.
