“The Mercantile Hotel benefits greatly from its location in New Orleans' Warehouse District, a short distance to the French Quarter and other major attractions; its all-suite design is a genuine advantage, providing more space for leisure or work. I especially appreciate the on-site art gallery featuring local artists, plus the hotel's embrace of the city's unique, sometimes haunted, character. For travelers seeking both comfort and a taste of New Orleans' distinct culture, The Mercantile has clear appeal.”
