An epitome of outstanding service and world class facilities, The Le Pavillon Hotel in the heart of downtown New Orleans treats each guest like royalty. It has rightfully earned the prestigious four-diamond award from AAA and had been included in the “Gold List” of hotels worldwide. Built in 1907, this “belle of New Orleans” continues to serve with all the genteel luxury of the past and the conveniences of the present.

Le Pav, as it is fondly called by its patrons, has 226 guest rooms and seven guest suites. The rooms all have a view of New Orleans and are equipped with the amenities of modern living. It has three room packages to choose from: The Family Fling which can accommodate two adults and two children, The Big Easy which is popular for business people and other budget-conscious travelers, and the Romance Package.  More on visiting New Orleans.

For newly-weds and lovers, the Romance Package is perfect for a one-night accommodation in a Deluxe king room, complete with a free bottle of champagne and strawberries dipped in chocolate. The couple can have breakfast at the luxurious and award-winning Crystal Room, where they will experience a world-class dining experience.

All of these hotel packages include the PB&J tradition or the Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches served with cold milk and a piping hot chocolate. This is a Le Pavillon custom which sets this hotel apart from its competitors. A guest would always feel nostalgic while munching on the PB&J and sipping on the milk and chocolate.

If you are craving for sophistication, the Crystal Room is where you should go when you are inside the hotel. You can have the delectable “Bananas Foster Waffle Le Pavillon” for an energizing southern-style breakfast there. You can also have a bite at its seafood gumbo and other mouthwatering dishes that have French influences.  Visit Hotel Website

If privacy and tranquility is what you want, Le Pavillon offers a 24-hour in-room dining experience. For those who want to share casual talks and refreshing drinks, though, the Gallery Lounge is perfect. The bar itself can be a conversation piece because of its three-arch Brunswick Bar circa 1880.

Le Pav boasts of spacious meeting rooms that can cater to a crowd. It has the Bienville and Gravier complex, and the Denechaund and Poydras Rooms. On the hotel’s 10th floor is the 977-square foot Terrace Room. At the Le Pavillon’s lower level are meeting rooms such as the Napoleon and Josephine Rooms and the Versailles Complex. These can also be a venue for other social gatherings.

If you want your wedding to be truly memorable, hold it in historic Le Pav. The hotel’s well-trained staff will ensure a very special and stress-free day. The wedding package includes a Butler Champagne Service to welcome all your guests, a stunning cake, a silver coffee service, and a skilled attendant which are all meant to make the bride and groom feel like kings and queens.

In addition to these amenities, the newlyweds will also be billeted in a Deluxe Room and will be given a free bottle of champagne and hors d’oeuvres. There is also a free breakfast for the honeymooners.
