This Warehouse District apartment has the feel of a stylish urban loft conversion that we especially love. Exposed brickwork and a few bold choices when it comes to wallpapers and colouring give it that loved-and-lived-in atmosphere. If you find yourself needing a quieter indoor moment, away from the lively festivities below, settle into an armchair or the teal velvet sofa and browse an art catalogue. The kitchen has some thoughtful additions like a blender and coffee machine, and there’s on-site laundry. Keep energy levels high with a siesta in the cosy bedrooms before hunting down jazz and bourbon in the Vieux Carré. We also appreciated the building’s array of on-site facilities – especially the dazzling rooftop pool and gym – as a way of relaxing after a full-on day (and night) in New Orleans. Challenge friends to a game of pool downstairs or head up to the deck for skyline views over the Big Easy – pre-dinner drinks go down a treat up here. With the French Quarter right on the doorstep, dining and drinking out is basically non-negotiable – or it should be. Plus, you're less than a twenty-minute stroll from Bourbon Street, boasting a tantalising supply of hip bars, music venues and traditional Creole cuisine.

About New Orleans
New Orleans is one lively city – whether we’re talking food, candy-coloured architecture or nightlife, there’s nowhere else in the United States – or even the world – quite like this Louisianan cultural mecca. You’ll find indigenous cuisine here that hybridizes Caribbean, African and European influences – so embrace your inner hedonist and dive head first into Gumbo, beignets and po’ boys. It’s a city where jazz is as prevalent...
