Ace Hotel

New Orleans

LoginSave

The Ace is a chain that really wants to impart a boutique, local experience. The New Orleans result is a stylish hotel with Louisiana accents that still feels like most contemporary, minimalist-with-a-touch-of-swag, design-conscious boutique hotels the world over. It's exceedingly pretty, and popular with pretty people, and every austere accent is shareworthy on the social-media platform of your choice.

The on-site bar and rooftop lounge are a big hit with local hip kids. You can find significant discounts by booking online.
