International House New Orleans Hotel Review
Hi everyone, as promised I’m sharing my recent staycation at the International House New Orleans Hotel with you today. I recently stayed there for a fun getaway with Nikki of My Style Diaries and Kristina Britt Photography. I love the location because it’s within walking distance of the French Quarter and a ton of restaurants, but it’s still far enough away from all the hustle and bustle. We were able to walk to Tableau for dinner, Salon by Sucre for tea and a quick Uber ride to Cane & Table.

IH hotel offers an on-the-go breakfast selection and coffee in their lobby, but we arrived in New Orleans with a strong craving for beignets and District Donuts so we made a quick donut run and picked up a variety of delicious treats to bring back to our room.

I loved all the chandeliers in the rooms of the penthouses!
