Hotel Henrietta
Modern Design & Lively. Jewel-toned interiors — lounge-club reds, teal, rich velvet — offset by marble, mosaic tiles, and custom millwork. Feels designed-for-Instagram without being cold. The lobby bar gives it a social energy.

Why It Matters
One of the first new-build boutique hotels in New Orleans to earn a Michelin Key (2025). Operated by Sandstone Hospitality, the same team behind the historic Columns Hotel just up the street. Most rooms have kitchenettes, making it unusually practical for longer stays.
Hotel Henrietta is a 40-room Michelin Key-awarded boutique that opened in April 2024 on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line in Uptown New Orleans. It's a new build — modern concrete and glass on the outside — but the architects loaded it with nods to classic NOLA design: an arched colonnade at street level, upper-floor galleries, and interiors that blend mid-century modern, Art Deco, and Belle Époque in one unapologetic swirl. The name comes from Henrietta Hernsheim, sister of the tobacco merchant who commissioned The Columns Hotel a few blocks up the same avenue.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Double Queen
Two queen beds in roughly 460 square feet, with a shared balcony facing Aline Street rather than the avenue. The most flexible room for families or groups — sleeps up to 6. Can be interconnected with a Studio Suite. One Double Queen is ADA-accessible.
2 Queen
Grand Suite
The biggest room in the house at 895 square feet, with a private balcony overlooking St. Charles Avenue. Kitchenette comes with a Smeg refrigerator and Illy coffee maker. Can be connected to a Double Queen for a large multi-room setup. Sleeps up to 4. One Grand Suite has been adapted for accessibility (roll-in shower, grab bars, lowered lighting).
King
At 437 sq ft these are the entry-level rooms and arguably the best value — every King has a private balcony facing St. Charles Avenue. Great for couples or solo travelers who want the full avenue experience without paying suite prices.
King
Studio Suite
At 459 sq ft these are the mid-tier suites, with full kitchenettes (microwave, mini-fridge, dishwasher) that make them feel more like a well-appointed apartment than a hotel room. Sleep up to 4. Can be interconnected with a Double Queen for a larger setup.
