Built in the 1830s the family run hotel has 42 rooms and is located at the heart of the French Quarter and small pets are very welcome here. It was built by Marie Anne Bienvenu Olivier in the Greek revival style, which features prominently in New Orleans architecture.

The hotel is steeped in history and is housed in the original townhouse, slave quarters, stables and next door cottage. It was opened as a guest house in 1970 having been a funeral parlor and cat house prior to that. Rooms are decorated with antiques as well as furniture made by the owner including some of the poster beds.

The Old Opera House is next door and is a club where guests can enjoy drinks while watching and listening to the entertainment.
