If you're partial to a dazzling rooftop view, then this lavish home ticks all the boxes. Nestled amidst the glitzy high rises of the Central Business District, its location alone is enough reason for us to praise it to the skies. Here, you're an eight-minute stroll from Bourbon Street, with its iconic bars and jazz clubs, and even closer to Canal Street's lively string of shops, eateries and streetcar links. The interior is perfect for families and large groups, with two floors offering a pair of self-contained yet connected apartments. High ceilings, hardwood floors and calming neutral tones exude elegance, and we love the large windows, ushering in floods of sunlight while offering beautiful views of the street below. Between adventures, kick back on the plush sofas and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals around the spacious dining table. However, the real highlight of this home is its rooftop terrace. After a restful slumber, spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee before slipping out to explore.

Local guide
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...
