During a time when many businesses are seeing closures due to the pandemic, a new hotel is bringing a new era to the French Quarter. One11 Hotel is the first hotel allowed to open in the Vieux Carre district since the ‘60s, taking up residence in the old Louisiana Sugar Refining Company. The One11 Hotel features 83 guest rooms and suites on eight different floors with three “sweets” (which is the hotel’s cheeky spelling of suites) aiming to give guests a look into the area and the building’s rich history. The Riverbend Sweet, located on the top floor, is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite with two private terraces with seating and a wet bar and what sounds like just enough space for a bride and her maids to get ready for the Big Day.
