A charming, beautiful, orderly hotel undaunted by hurricane Katrina!

I don't know what Hotel Provincial was like prior to hurricane Katrina, so I can't compare it to the property's current condition. When I visited in July 2006 I experienced a most charming, clean, and orderly hotel. On the ground level off a pretty courtyard I stayed in a room that was renovated after the storm. It was quiet and quaint with furnishings that looked antique. The bed provided a very comfortable night of sleep. Bed and bath linens were very clean. The fixtures and appliances were all in working order. The hotel has an excellent location. It's within very short walking distance of the French Market, Cafe du Monde, the Aquarium of the Americas, and a wonderful assortment of restaurants and shops. The hotel itself has two restaurants - Stella and Stanley - which provide fine and family dining. At night everything was quiet and peaceful at the hotel. I was part of a group of 130 people that stayed at Hotel Provincial for a few nights. Despite the large size of our group the staff was attentive on an individual level and very welcoming. I will definitely stay at Hotel Provincial if/when I visit the French Quarter again.
