Views, views and more views – that’s what you get when you stay at this 2-bedroom penthouse apartment in The Big Easy. You might be admiring them from your private balcony, or maybe you’re up on the rooftop deck after taking a dip in the communal outdoor pool. You can make the most of the views inside too, with large windows lining the wall of the open-plan living space, where a comfy corner sofa offers an inviting spot to put your feet up while you play music on the speaker or watch Netflix on the smart TV. In the centre of the room is a large kitchen island that doubles as a breakfast bar – pour yourself a cuppa using the coffee-maker or keep the chef company while they rustle up something tasty in the fully-equipped kitchen. For more formal dining, use the 6-seater table, or if you’d prefer to eat out then head to one of the Creole restaurants in the French Quarter, 25 minutes’ walk away. The design is fun and vibrant, with streaks of vibrant colour, bold patterned wallpaper and quirky artwork. The theme continues throughout the rest of the building, where you also have access to a staffed lobby, a bar, a gym and a communal lounge with a games area.
