International House

New Orleans


Lavish rooms at this boutique crashpad offer an array of amenities, from marble desks to iHome stereos to two-headed showers. Should the budget allow, go for the penthouse rooms and their sweeping terraces. Be aware that 11th-floor 'Rockstar' rooms are windowless and may come with a pull-chain hatch that leads to the roof – or perhaps a parallel New Orleans?

The fashionable Loa bar sits amid soaring columns and plush, tufted ottomans. There’s even an iMac for those who want to check their email.
