  Hotel Provincial

 

By Angela Ash

In a city where historical gems sit on every street corner, the Hotel Provincial shines like a beacon, tempting travelers to venture in from the heat to experience a serene oasis... just two incredible blocks from Bourbon Street. 

It seems almost like a magical spell has been cast on the property, because you can literally leave the hotel and be in a lively bar in two minutes flat.  However, once within the welcoming walls of the Hotel Provincial, a quiet courtyard just begs for you to visit... preferably with a good book, and the refreshing swimming pools just tease you to take a plunge, even if you have to dry your hair again before dinner.  And all the while you have the magnificent sense of  "being in the center of it all", while still hearing nothing but the clip clop of horse carriages going down Chartres Street. 

Sounds like a dream? Well, wake up, because the Hotel Provincial will completely entrance your mind, body, and spirit... leaving you anticipating your next visit before you even leave!  But again, this could just be the "captivation" of the place, or even those who came before you... still unwilling to leave the grounds.

The Hotel Provincial offers absolutely exquisite accommodations, with the history of yesterday mixing with the comforts of the modern age. Entering each room feels like stepping back into a previous century, with the decor reminiscent of a time gone by, but with reminders like complimentary WI-Fi to jolt us back into this decade.  And I am not sure what type of mattress the Hotel Provincial uses, but I will attest that they are the most comfortable that I have ever experienced in all of my travels.  It is literally like sleeping on a cloud!

Many rooms offer French doors that open up onto a whimsical sitting area, or large windows that afford breathtaking views of neighboring courtyards. 

And as you awaken in the morning, wonderfully refreshed from a heavenly night's sleep, the Hotel Provincial offers a delicious, complimentary, continental breakfast.  Served in the Ice House Bar, partake in a variety of cereals, pastries, and gourmet coffee and teas... preparing you for an exciting day of sightseeing, or a lazy morning by one of two quiet, courtyard swimming pools.
