For graceful, affordable accommodations in the French Quarter, try the Prince Conti Hotel. Housed in a historic brick building, the hotel has the feel of an elegant manor house. Guest rooms feature polished wood furnishings, unique artwork and traditional fabrics. The cool green walls and white wainscoting of the lobby give it the intimate flavor of a traditional parlor, enhanced by Queen Anne chairs, tapestries, and vintage portraits. When it’s time to laisser les bon temps rouler, the Prince Conti Hotel doesn’t disappoint. The Bombay Club Restaurant and Martini Bistro, reached through a weathered, original carriageway, proudly offers 125 varieties of martinis. For breakfast, Mrs. D’s Cafe serves classic favorites (the Eggs Benedict are a favorite of New Orleans regulars) alongside local specialties. The gentle French Provencal décor and red toile-splashed walls won’t be too hard on your hangover.
