Awash in the authentic feel of Old New Orleans, Le Richelieu in the French Quarter prides itself on being both charming and affordable. The guest rooms are spread between the hotel’s two buildings and each is individually decorated in hues of deep burgundy, teal and gold. The Paul McCartney Suite, named after the Beatle who once stayed at Le Richelieu for two months, features huge, open rooms decorated in deep blue and maroon. The lobby’s black and white tiled floor gives it an old-fashioned flavor, while the floor-to-ceiling taupe curtains and baroque-influenced chandeliers add simple elegance. The courtyard pool, surrounded by the deep pink walls of the hotel, is an inviting place to take a dip. You can also enjoy a meal at the sunny Terrace Cafe, or unwind at the cozy Terrace Bar.
