divided by hallways and ballrooms and punctuated
by shadowy anterooms stuffed with comfy antique
furniture. The spacious front porch is an
ideal spot for viewing the goings-on of stately
St. Charles Avenue. Albertine's Tea Room
serves New Orleans-style brunch and is available
for private parties. The Columns also has
20 affordable rooms for those who don't want
to leave the tranquil setting
Whether you need to sit next to a cozy fire
inside our Avenue Room, or on the grand front

beat of Brazilian samba.
The
award winning Victorian Lounge has been recognized
by Details Magazine as one of the Top Ten
Sexiest Places on Earth. Citysearch.com,
