The St Marie was built to look historic from the outside, but is up-to-date on the inside. Its best feature is the inviting courtyard, which has a swimming pool and umbrella-covered tables amid lush plantings. The neocolonial guest rooms are comfortable and well appointed, and their spacious dimensions do the trick. Just around the corner is Bourbon St at its most extreme.
