Bienville House

Dating back to 1835, Bienville House in New Orleans was named in honor of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, the French-Canadian who founded New Orleans in 1718. Classic wrought-iron balconies and a lush courtyard give the property the appearance of a stately manor home; the hotel’s grand ambiance is further reflected in the hand-painted murals, over-stuffed furnishings, and graceful appointments. Just steps away lie some of the Big Easy’s most famous features, including Bourbon and Royal Streets, late-night jazz clubs, world-class restaurants, shopping, and the mighty Mississippi River itself.
