Their mission is to provide excellent fine dining in a comfortable and casual setting. Bayona and Chef Susan have gained world wide recognition for award winning food and hand curated selection of fine wines and spirits.

Hotel Peter and Paul is the result of a four-year restoration of the former Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic church and school. The site is steeped in history, from the splendid Henry Howard-designed buildings to the school’s appearance in A Confederacy of Dunces, and its author’s (possibly apocryphal) three-person funeral in the church. The former school house, rectory, church and convent have each been carefully restored and repurposed for new congregants. Each building has its own inspiration and narrative, with the resulting restoration ensuring that no two guest rooms are exactly alike. We hope you will honor this landmark by adding to its history through your own experiences.

The Warehouse District, sometimes called the New Orleans Arts District, is the heart of downtown New Orleans activity. It’s a bustling neighborhood full of art galleries, museums, bars, hotels and some of the greatest restaurants in the city.
The history of the neighborhood is plainly visible at every turn, as most of the Warehouse District is made up of two- to five-story brick buildings and warehouses. In the 19th century, it started as a hub for the nearby Port of New Orleans, where goods such as produce, coffee, cotton and grains were received off the Mississippi River, stored and then transported across North America. The Warehouse District was also home to many heavy industries that supported the port — steel, iron and copper work; the manufacturing and repair of boat parts; brick manufacturing; paper and fiber making; office and grocery suppliers. It’s sometimes compared to New York City’s SoHo or the Meatpacking District, and with good reason.

Everyone agrees. Uptown’s got the looks in the family, bless its heart. Those handsome neighborhoods, like the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, trundle upriver, unfolding as a series of distinctive names: Oretha Castle Haley, Riverside, the Black Pearl, Carrollton. Uptown’s homes -- gleaming white and tiered like wedding cakes or shot-gunned into long, narrow lots – are the place’s glory and sheltered by canopies of leafy green or family trees as branched and blossoming as any ancient magnolia. The air’s opulent with the scent of jasmine and a slower, grander age. Uptown, where white tablecloths still cover two-tops. The waiter knows both your name and your preferences. A gin fizz? The crabmeat salad? Satsuma orange ice cream? They’re all on offer, as are the dazzling array of goods. The smart shops on Oak and Maple, Freret and Magazine, rival anything anywhere else. But this is Uptown, sugar. Once you’re here, there’s no reason – not ever – to leave.

North of the noise and saturated color of the Quarter is a New Orleans neighborhood that’s perfected the art of living. “Welcome to Mid-City,” read the signs on the neutral ground. And that’s truth in advertising. It’s the kind of place where your auto mechanic invites you to a crawfish boil and a total stranger may buy you a drink at an Irish pub or a cannoli at an Italian bakery. Take the red streetcar line up Canal to the Cemeteries (Mid-City’s dead neighbors are as interesting as the live ones) or bike the new 2.6-mile-long Lafitte Greenway that stretches from Basin Street to Carrollton Avenue and, conveniently, past a po’ boy shop or two – or 17 – with a sno-ball shop and a micro-brewery thrown in for good measure. Buttermilk biscuits. Live music. A bowl of Vietnamese pho. Who wouldn’t want to visit? Eat. Drink. Get up here.

Bound by Jackson Avenue, Delachaise Street, Magazine Street and Tchoupitoulas Street, New Orleans’ Irish Channel is a quaint neighborhood named in honor of the wave of Irish immigrants who first made their way there in the 1830s. Then, it was known for its shotgun homes, working-class community, and the ports and breweries where many residents worked.
Today, the Irish Channel remains a mainly residential neighborhood with a thriving brewery scene and a number of local hangouts and restaurants.
