Galleried avenue lodgings
A breezy front terrace and banquette-lined lounge buzz with easygoing neighborhood energy, where locals drop in from morning espresso to late cocktails.
“The architecture and interior design are by local firm Farouki Farouki, and the aesthetic pays tribute to the neighborhood’s historic architecture.”
Where it shines
Exceptional
Inverted wood parquet lines the lobby ceiling above stepped street-level arched colonnades.
Notable
St. Charles Avenue streetcars roll past oversized balconies honouring classic Uptown residential architecture.
What they say
One Michelin Key

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Inside it’s a similarly heady mix of old and new; the reception features richly veined marble and a parquet floor that happens to be on the ceiling.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Historic green streetcars stop right outside the front doors, connecting Uptown mansions and Garden District oak canopies directly to the French Quarter.
The rooms
Velvet headboards, mosaic tiles, and deep showers set the tone inside, while private balconies overlook the streetcars along the avenue.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The central marble counter pulls espresso with Flour Moon bagels in the morning, switching to cocktails by evening.
How it began
The hotel takes its name from Henrietta Hernsheim, sister of the nineteenth-century tobacco merchant who commissioned sister property Columns nearby.
