This hotel alone has managed to fuse old and new successfully - it is modern without being obnoxious stylish without being frigid. It is in fact one of those most rare things in life a boutique hotel with soul. In the lobby ornate pillars and decorative moldings are copied from the original 1906 blueprints when this building was a bank. Chandeliers are based on 19th century models and the softly glowing gaslights outside the entrance are copied from 1918 drawings. Every night the bar holds a welcome ceremony for the spirits with candles thrift shop seats and mirrors made of old church windows serve as an altar. And the usual romantic weekend package is given a ahem magic spin. A real live voodoo priestess can be hired for you very own love ceremony. Complimentary wireless access. 2 Blocks from the french quarter in the historic central business district in one of the worlds most eclectic cities is a hotel like no other. International house is about a tangible contemporary style and an intangible spiritual warmth weaving its way throughout . Its about the welcoming glow of amber light. Its about the lobby ever changing for summer and winter in observance of rich local customs and rituals. Bookings for more than 4 rooms may not be honored.
