Faded grandeur make this an unforgettable choice for those who can do without a few modern conveniences.
What's Special About the Columns Hotel:
Director Louis Malle filmed "Pretty Baby" here in the 1970s. The hotel still has the same authentic genteel elegance that others have tried to copy. The large front porch opens from the bar and is a popular place to site and enjoy the shade while watching the streetcars roll past. A prime spot on the Mardi Gras parade route, down in a more family-oriented section of the festivities, make this a popular place for a regular set of guests who return year after year.
Guest Rooms and Rates:
29 guest rooms from $30. Rooms at this small inn sometimes share a bathroom, giving it the feel of a B&B.
