Luxurious yet laissez-faire, The Whit is a transportive hotel, salon and event venue in New Orleans’ historic Garden District. Our beautifully preserved 19th-century mansion and grounds provide an eye-catching backdrop for festive gatherings, as well as an urbane atmosphere for casual outings among friends.Home to fifteen beautifully appointed hotel rooms, a lively coffee, tea and cocktail salon, canapes and caviar, and a series of striking indoor-outdoor event spaces, this expansive property harkens back to the neighborhood’s golden age of entertaining.Mornings at The Salon unfold slowly, with hotel guests enjoying a quiet breakfast, while neighbors catch up over coffee. Our midday service is distinctly social, with leisurely lunches that spill over into happy hour—and a refined Friday-Sunday “low tea” ritual. Once the sun begins to set, cocktails set the pace, with indulgent small bites and shareable snacks fueling the evening’s revelry.
