The Eliza Jane

You want to be within stumbling distance of the French Quarter when you’re in New Orleans, and if you’re a light sleeper, you don’t want to be *in* it. The Eliza Jane checks each of those boxes and then some. Rooms are luxuriously appointed with C.O. Bigelow toiletries, Keurig coffee makers, and custom brass and Barbie-pink furniture that nods to the city’s French roots. Because the starter room category begins at a snug 255-square-feet, we recommend booking a One King Bed Magazine Street View (complete with its original brick warehouse walls) or a Publisher’s Suite One King Bed—which is a whopping 710-square-feet and comes with a dining room, extra sleeper sofa and even a deep soaking tub that’s ideal for a post bar-crawl bubble bath—after you’ve met your deadlines, of course.

Housed in the former Daily Picayune newspaper building, with 196 luxe rooms, a French brasserie, and a bar called The Press Room.

Just here to party. The 24-hour gym, equipped with three touch-screen ellipticals, two treadmills and lots of free weights, is the perfect place to work off those beignets.

You simply *must* have a lush courtyard to retreat to when you’re in New Orleans, and this one is flanked by its original brick walls with flickering gas lanterns and a gurgling fountain statue of Venus.

It takes a lot for a bar to wow in New Orleans, a city that teems with top-notch watering holes. But at The Press Room, you’ve certainly found your new fave...or is that your Foreign Correspondent cocktail, with a thick pour of Barbancourt Rum, talking?
