International House, a modern boutique hotel just a couple of blocks from the French Quarter in the Central Business District, incorporates stylized reflections of New Orleans’s cultural history in its decor. The airy lobby, with white slip covered furniture, is often peppered with colors and accessories that match the season, whether it’s the Voodoo Festival of RaRa in April or Louis Armstrong’s birthday in July.
The hotel also offers the Sanctuary of Love package for couples looking for romance, which incorporates a voodoo love ritual that includes a personalized altar set up for the couple as well as a bath of flower petals.
Popular with musicians, the International House is located on a quiet block away from the noise of the quarter, but all the fun is just steps away.
