This summer, taste the luxurious life of nineteenth-century New Orleans and get away for a family reunion to the grand town house Joseph Soniat built for his family.courtyard

Soniat House has something for families of all sizes. Rent the entire property for $5,000 a night, half the property for $2,500 a night or have them tailor packages to accommodate your smaller  groups.

Soniat House —  renovated to preserve the lovely Greek Revival details, graceful stairways, cast iron galleries, and cobblestone carriageways — maintains the aura and scale of a lovingly kept family home. Its  18 rooms and 12 suites, decorated with individuality and taste, are the antithesis of the mass-produced accommodations at even the finest big hotels.

Porters serve breakfast of hot southern biscuits, strawberry preserves, and Creole coffee, while the concierge staff will take care of  every need, from sought-after tickets and dining reservations to tours and little-known attractions of the French Quarter and the city beyond.  The nineteenth century grace and charm of Soniat House is discreetly balanced by modern-day features including wi-fi, bath-side telephones, and guest memberships to the nearby historic New Orleans Athletic Club.
