Southern Stays: The Mercantile Hotel

April 20, 2020 By Caroline Eubanks Leave a Comment

I’ve visited New Orleans many times over the years, so I try to stay somewhere new each trip. The Mercantile Hotel’s building was a 1907 sugar refinery. It was previously The Lofts at Embassy Suites New Orleans and reopened in 2019. Set in the Warehouse District, the hotel is convenient to both the cruise port and nearby galleries and restaurants.

The all-suite hotel rooms have a separate seating area with a pull-out couch, coffee maker, mini-fridge, microwave, flat-screen television, and a record player with the best of New Orleans jazz artists. There’s also a tablet where you can request room cleaning and other tasks.
