Soniat House - New Orleans, LA

The only New Orleans hotel featured in 1000 Places To See Before You Die, the Soniat House should be on a must see list of all travelers. The Soniat House is a classic of its kind. It has been lavishly restored and furnished with a lifetime collection of antiques and objets d*art. The house surrounds lush gardens with lily ponds. Each room expresses its own character, supremely comfortable and elegant, all competing for one*s attention. Breakfast is a daily rite - cafe au lait, freshly baked biscuits, and conserves served in one*s suite or in the garden. For other meals, the concierge, a man of star quality, will recommend where to eat, where to shop, and how to get there. Everything is at a walking distance. This hotel was built in 1829 and remodeled in 2005.
