    warm cookies
    historical decor

    The ambiance was enchanting, like stepping back in time with a perfect mix of history and modern comfort! I absolutely loved the nightly delivery of warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies—it felt like home! Given the stunning decor and personal touches, like daily croissants, my experience was uniquely delightful.

    historical charm
    gourmet treats
    cozy parlor
    limited parking

    The beautifully renovated historical setting creates an authentic charm, with a uniquely cozy parlor perfect for unwinding. Croissants and warm cookies add a delightful touch to the daily offerings, enhancing the boutique hotel experience with sweet treats.

    Some rooms felt a bit cramped, which might not suit everyone’s space preferences, especially for those traveling with more luggage than usual. The limited parking availability can be a hassle during busy times, making it tricky to find a spot close enough. Additionally, requests for manager support seemed to lag behind, leading to some minor frustrations regarding room assignments. The absence of coffee-making facilities in the room can be inconvenient for those who like to start their day with a quick brew before heading out.

    small room
    street noise
    cramped space

    The Henry Howard Hotel offers a lovely ambiance with its historic charm. The room I stayed in felt cozy with unique décor, and the attention to detail throughout the hotel was impressive. The staff, particularly Monika, provided outstanding service. She arranged tours and reservations seamlessly, making my experience feel personalized. The common areas exuded a welcoming vibe, with a delightful bar where I enjoyed some great cocktails. However, the room was smaller than expected, making it a bit cramped. Additionally, I encountered some noise from the street outside during the night, which disrupted my sleep. Despite this, the hotel’s cleanliness was spot on, and I appreciated the complimentary breakfast options. Easy access to local attractions through nearby streetcar stops was a big plus too.

    charming ambiance
    luxurious comfort
    small bathroom
    limited counter space
    older building drawback

    The charming ambiance in this converted house makes for a delightful stay, complete with a lovely front porch. Luxurious bedding and towels enhance comfort, and the proximity to the streetcar simplifies exploring the area. However, the bathroom offers minimal counter space, a common drawback in older buildings. One of the culinary highlights was the octopus millefeuille, showcasing the hotel's dedication to quality dining.

    helpful staff
    pastries served

    Had an awesome time with my friends! We loved exploring the antique shops and art galleries in the area. The room was comfy, and the staff were super helpful! Don't miss out on the delicious pastries served in the parlor in the morning. Perfect start to our days! Highly recommend this spot.

    However, our initial room was placed right off the lobby, and it was noisy, which was a bit frustrating. It took some effort to get moved, but the staff was friendly overall.

    great location
    small lobby

    Had an awesome time with my friends exploring antique shops and checking out the music scene. The room was spacious and comfy, and the staff was super friendly, especially Monica who had great tips for sightseeing. The location is quiet, yet just a short walk to vibrant spots. Definitely recommend this cozy stay!

    One thing to keep in mind is that while the check-in process was smooth, I did find the lobby a bit smaller than expected, which can feel cramped during busy times.

    Y'all gotta check out the local eats near Henry Howard! Nole was a fresh fave, and Buster's Soul Food had me coming back for seconds. Plus, the porch bar at the hotel was a killer spot for sipping cocktails! What a vibe! 🌟

    The only hitch?

    Exceptional Staff and Charming Atmosphere

    Our stay was wonderful, thanks largely to the exceptional hospitality from the staff, especially Monika, who went out of her way to arrange fun tours for us. The room was clean, spacious, and adorned with unique decor that immersed us in local culture. Additionally, the Garden District location was perfect for exploring the area, with easy access to transportation. One minor issue was the noise from the main staircase, which sometimes disrupted our sleep.
