Guests can wake up every morning to aroma of chicory-laced coffee brewing in the lobby and then enjoy complimentary muffins and French pastries in the tranquil courtyard. The hotel also offers room service from area restaurants during certain hours, dial-up Internet access, and transportation to and from Louis Armstrong International Airport 25 minutes away. The Hotel Royal doesn't have a restaurant, but the French Quarter is packed with succulent dining options synonymous with the Big Easy.

This New Orleans hotel in the French Quarter features 37 air-conditioned guestrooms and nine suites with private baths, jetted tubs, exposed brick walls or hardwood floors, Italian Frette linens, cable/satellite TV, ceiling fans, coffeemakers and data ports.

Oozing Old World charm and panache, New Orleans is filled with buildings with character and stories. Until the 1940s, the Hotel Royal's building remained a private home until portions were transformed into a Laundromat. By the 1960s, massive infusions of capital turned the building into a hotel, and a redo in 2001 by renowned architect and interior designer Lee Ledbetter ushered the French Quarter hotel into the modern age with extra space and original artwork by local artist Edward Whiteman.
