Inn At The Old Jail, New Orleans

The Inn At The Old Jail offers five Queen Suites on the ground floor, each named after influential NOPD figureheads, showcasing a unique tribute. The Double Queen Suites on the second floor provide larger spaces with 15-foot ceilings and dual queen beds. The Capdevielle Suite, the most spacious option, includes additional privacy and customizations.

Constructed within a structure listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel was notably rescued from demolition in 2013. The restoration effort has preserved vintage elements alongside contemporary comforts. Guests can experience the charm of relics from NOLA's Capdevielle era, including exposed brick and reclaimed wood-panel wainscoting.

The hotel includes a rooftop deck shaded by a century-old Live Oak and a concrete courtyard with subtropical flora. A piano room and lounge, along with a commercial kitchen, cater to varied guest needs. With a main hall suitable for events, the property is adaptable for everything from reunions to photo shoots.
