Catahoula Hotel

New Orleans


More than its many boutique competitors, the Catahoula does a good job of mixing up contemporary style with the historical vibe that is such a powerful New Orleans tourism draw. Clean lines and solid colors get the old exposed-brick and warm-wood accents, topped with a stylish roof lounge and slick murals.

Bunk rooms can accommodate four people if you're in a group.
