Join J Rose Destinations for a lively 4 day adventure in New Orleans to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Essence Music Festival . 

Living The "Suite Life"

The Mercantile Hotel New Orleans rooms are all unique suites with separate living and sleeping rooms, so you’ll be living the ‘sweet’ life when you stay with us.

At the Mercantile Hotel New Orleans, your room is much more than a room – it’s a piece of history waiting to be experienced. Exposed brick walls have preserved an old world feel that will make you feel like you’re in the 1800s refinery that was the former site of our hotel. You’ll be able to imagine the hustle and bustle of the workshop while you lay on your cozy bed after a day of exploring the Big Easy … or sip your morning coffee while peering out over the Arts & Warehouse District and Mississippi River Bridges.
