Down the River

Down the River: Louisiana

Just a short walk from New Orleans' bustling French Quarter, this stylish apartment is the perfect base for exploring the Big Easy. Interiors are sophisticated with just a hint of industrial chic in the form of large sash windows and exposed brick walls, while framed photographs evoke the spirit of this musical city. However, it's not all style over substance. Cook up a meal in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy your meal under statement lighting at the large dining table. Each bedroom features a Smart TV, but you might find yourself settling down in the cosy living space for a movie night instead. Take advantage of amenities within the building such as the gym and lobby lounge — though we reckon you'll spend most of your time exploring the city. It's a twenty-five-minute walk to Bourbon Street, the beating heart of New Orleans' vibrant city centre. Sip a cocktail in an eclectic bar, visit the Mardi Gras Museum, and feast on Creole cuisine in a local restaurant, before returning to your apartment late for a nightcap in the lobby.
