The renovation encompassed a comprehensive exterior overhaul, the modernisation of the restaurant; guest rooms; guest bathrooms; and corridors, and the introduction of a new hotel lobby bar.

This bar acknowledges the city’s rich history, drawing inspiration from the year 1803 when Napoleon Bonaparte signed the Louisiana Purchase. The bar’s design pays homage to both Napoleon and New Orleans’ French heritage.

Situated in downtown New Orleans on Poydras Street, the Le Pavillon Hotel, dubbed the ‘Belle of New Orleans, is close to Bourbon Street’s music venues, and the dining and antique shops on Royal Street.

Established in 1907 on the grounds of an early plantation home, it is part of the Historic Hotels of America.
