St. Charles Avenue Streetcar

Historical landmark
1 block away
One of the most iconic images of New Orleans, the public streetcar takes guests from the hotel either uptown along St. Charles Avenue through the Garden District, offering one of the largest collections of Antebellum architecture in the U.S., or downtown towards the French Quarter with ease. The dark green St. Charles streetcar is the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world. Vintage streetcars built by Perley A. Thomas Company still run along a 6-mile crescent from Carondelet at Canal Street in the Central Business District through the oldest and most majestic section of Uptown New Orleans, around the Riverbend to Carrollton at Claiborne Avenue.

Confederate Memorial Hall Museum

Museum
2 blocks away
Confederate Memorial Hall opened its doors in New Orleans on January 8, 1891, and since that time has been commemorating the military history and heritage of the South. The museum is the oldest in Louisiana and houses one of the largest collections of Confederate memorabilia in the United States. Memorial Hall was built in the most popular architectural style of its time, the Richardsonian Romanesque. Henry Hobson Richardson, a native Louisianan who lived nearby on Julia Street, was the nation’s leading architect in 1885. He had developed an architectural style that bears his name, the Richardsonian Romanesque. The adjacent Howard Library was one of the master productions of the famous architect. However, Richardson died in 1886 prior to the construction of the Howard Library and the conception of Memorial Hall. Therefore, Memorial Hall’s design was given to the local architectural firm of Sully & Toledano, and two years later its final construction would complement that of the Howard Library

Contemporary Arts Center

Museum
2 blocks away
In September 2017, the CAC completed a landmark capital project in partnership with The Domain Companies to develop The Shop, a creative co-working space on the under-utilized third and fourth floors of the CAC's 100,000 square-foot building (including two adjoining warehouses). This project triggered an essential full-building update, with approximately $12 million in significant renovations and systems upgrades. Notably, the CAC doubled the size of its first-floor galleries and transformed its raw warehouse space into a more functional, efficient, open space well-suited for visual arts, performing arts, and special events. The CAC's education and outreach projects offer intimate arts education settings where studentsmwork together with artists generating a greater impact through more personal, interactive experiences. The CAC's significance and role in the cultural community of New Orleans has and always will be cemented in its broad community-based programs and initiatives.
