One MICHELIN Key · A very special stay
This late 19th-century Italianate villa is named for its most distinctive architectural feature. Columns was built in 1883 as a private residence for a tobacco merchant, before serving as a wartime boardinghouse and then, in the Fifties, a hotel. Today it belongs to the owner of the Drifter Hotel, but it’s a very different vibe from the Drifter’s mid-century motel aesthetic; after a thorough renovation it’s a Victorian fantasy world, as ornate and colorful as any hotel in town.

Columns’ rooms and suites show plenty of variety, thanks to the historical floor plan. All are decorated in a style you might call maximalist, out of eclectic elements that feel more collected than designed. Some have claw-foot tubs, some have 15-foot ceilings, and all come with Tivoli radios and Aesop bath products.

The bar is the social heart of the hotel, centered around a Victorian lounge with classic coffered mahogany ceilings; this location is merely a suggestion, though, as your drinks will follow you to the garden, the porch, or any of the other common spaces. Meanwhile breakfast and a Sunday Jazz Brunch are served in the hotel’s dining room, along with a simple menu to accompany your evening drinks.

The whole experience was so authentic New Orleans. There were so many lounges and porches and balconies to enjoy. The rooms are huge and with amazingly high ceilings. It had old style charm. The location was in the Garden District right on Saint Charles Avenue with a Street Car Stop right across the street. It made going into and out of The French Quarter, and other areas of the city convenient, while being in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were helpful especially Lindsay and Dylan who went out of their way to be helpful; that extra care is the difference between a good stay and a wonderful stay. And the best? Our last evening there was a hosted music event in one of the large living rooms with a jazz pianist and double bassist..they took so much care (professionally tuned the piano during the day, which was fun to hear) and you didn't have to leave the hotel to have a special evening like that.
