Each of the 35 rooms in the renovated 1845 Creole townhouse seem to have their own unique identity, while keeping the original tactile brick walls and original windows. You get the classic feel from the original building while also updated in a very stylish manner. The rooms range in size, but other than the “Bunk Room” that consists of four twin beds, these rooms are meant for a couple or if you are single and traveling.

Each room has a Casper mattress, which means you are in for one comfortable night of sleep.
