The Mercantile Hotel - Historic all-suite property in the Warehouse District with record players and exposed brick walls

Located in New Orleans' historic Warehouse/Arts District, The Mercantile Hotel occupies the former Henderson Sugar Refinery site in a 3-star property. The 90 individually decorated suites feature separate living and sleeping areas, exposed brick walls, kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, and flat-screen TVs with cable channels. Each suite includes a record player with vintage jazz records, laptop-friendly workspaces, and blackout curtains. This New Orleans hotel provides a 24-hour fitness center, The Confectionary bar, and a business center with complimentary newspapers. A continental breakfast is served daily from 7 AM to 10 AM. The Mercantile's location places guests a 3-minute walk from Julia Street Cruise Terminal and 7 minutes from the National World War II Museum. The Riverfront Streetcar station, two blocks away, connects to Harrah's Casino, the French Quarter, and Frenchman Street.

Historic sugar refinery building with original exposed brick walls

Complimentary continental breakfast served daily

Two blocks from Riverfront Streetcar station

Cons

12 miles from the nearest airport

No on-site parking available

“The all-suite design in New Orleans' Warehouse District allows for a more social stay. I think its proximity to the French Quarter is a real advantage, balancing access with a bit of welcome distance. Add in the on-site Confectionary bar, and this feels like a solid choice for longer stays or groups.”
