New Orleans’ Historic Le Pavillon Hotel Unveils Reimagined Suites

NEW ORLEANS—Le Pavillon Hotel introduced seven newly designed suites to its 226-room established retreat. Paying homage to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Big Easy, each distinctly designed suite reflects a component of the city’s story, plus ample entertainment space, lush fabrics and textures, select furnishings, and antique pieces from Le Pavillon Hotel’s extensive curated vintage collection.

“The suite enhancements are a nod to Le Pavillon Hotel’s role in the New Orleans’ story, while the upgraded amenities showcase our commitment to a superior guest experience,” said Samuel Atwood, general manager of Le Pavillon. “Our design team truly embraced the history of Le Pavillon, the history of this building, the history of New Orleans and the history of the art collection. We are incredibly proud of this truly authentic New Orleans’ hotel and its stand-out suites.”

Le Pavillon Hotel is in part known for serving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as a late night snack in the lobby. An evening ritual stemming from a weary businessman’s cravings, the nightly treats are served with hot chocolate and cold milk. Illuminated by a Czechoslovakian chandelier, Le Pavillon Hotel’s signature restaurant, The Crystal Room, embraces New Orleans’ culinary heritage with French cuisine, heavily infused with creole influences.

The Gallery Lounge is surrounded by a railing from the Grand Hotel in Paris.
