Hotel Peter & Paul Marigny Weekend — New Orleans, LA

A 71-room boutique hotel built into a 156-year-old Marigny church, schoolhouse, rectory, and convent — restored by ASH NYC into the most photogenic stay in New Orleans. The bridesmaids take the convent rooms (the four-poster beds, the painted-wood floors). Day one ends with a long dinner at the Elysian Bar, then a five-block walk to Frenchmen Street for The Spotted Cat, Snug Harbor, and brass on the corner. Day two is a Bywater coffee crawl, an afternoon at the Saturn Bar, and a late dinner at Bacchanal in the courtyard. Decompression: Sunday brunch at Elysian and a slow walk through the Marigny gardens before the airport.
