The Harlequin by AvantStay

About this hotel

Step into history and the heart of New Orleans at The Harlequin, where timeless character meets modern comfort on iconic Canal Street. Once home to New Orleans' first movie theater, this landmark building now reimagines its cinematic past as a collection of stylish, design-forward apartments, each one blending the energy of the city with the ease of home. You’ll be staying in one of the most walkable locations in all of New Orleans, with a 100/100 walkability score. Step outside your door and find yourself surrounded by the best of the city: the French Quarter just a few blocks away, the buzz of Bourbon Street within minutes, and Jackson Square, the Saenger Theatre, and the St. Charles Streetcar line all close enough to reach before your coffee cools. Grab a treat at Café No Beignet across the street, stroll through the historic French Market, or wander along the riverfront for live jazz drifting on the breeze. Inside, each apartment offers a calm retreat from the city’s excitement. In select suites, expansive windows let in the glow of Canal Street below, while newly refreshed interiors feature thoughtful design touches, curated art, and all the essentials for a seamless stay. Fully equipped kitchens make in-home dining easy, and cozy living areas with smart TVs invite you to unwind after a day of exploration. Two- and three-bedroom layouts provide plenty of space for families and groups, and hearing-accessible options ensure everyone feels welcome.
