The two-story columned gallery and portico provide a grand entrance into this restored mansion.

Innkeeper Note

The Columns Hotel, one of the most stately remaining examples of turn-of-the-century Louisiana architecture, has an ambiance of age-old elegance, yet remains one of the most comfortable and affordable hotels in New Orleans. Located on one of the city's most grand and historic streets, The Columns offers a return to the romance and refinement of another era. The Columns Hotel offers 19 beautiful rooms on 2 floors. Ranging from the simply cozy to the exquisitely grand, each room features some small delight to be enjoyed - fireplaces, armoires, and claw foot tubs. Our rooms also feature Victorian furnishings, beautiful views of St. Charles Avenue, and unique 4-poster beds. Our en suites rooms offer spacious sitting and sleeping accommodations.

...like experiencing life of the Old South, maybe more like living in a museum. We came to New Orleans to learn about New Orleans, and we did... at The Columns.
