Hotel Peter And Paul, An Ash Hotel, New Orleans

Hotel Peter And Paul, An Ash Hotel - A restored historic church complex with locally crafted furniture, European antiques, and The Elysian Bar

A four-year restoration transformed this former Catholic church complex into a distinctive New Orleans hotel in Faubourg Marigny, known for its Cajun bistros and jazz clubs. Hotel Peter And Paul features air-conditioned rooms spread across four historic buildings: the School House, Rectory, Convent, and Church. Each room includes custom Italian linens, flat-screen TVs with fabric covers, complimentary WiFi, and exclusive hotel toiletries. The Elysian Bar, operated by award-winning Bacchanal wine shop, serves specialty cocktails, niche wines, and locally-inspired shareable plates such as steamed mussels with chorizo. The School House contains a reading room with a stage and trompe l'oeil details. Hotel Peter and Paul sits 8 minutes by foot from both Bourbon Street and Frenchmen Street, with the French Market and Cabildo located 1 mile away.
