Cafe Pontchartrain

The Pontchartrain Hotel has 106 rooms, with four guest room variations and four types of suite. The Melpomene two-bedroom suite is the largest and best-appointed and even features its own in-room piano. With rates often below $400 per night, its one of the best deals in town for those looking for a truly opulent stay, or for families looking for extra space. The Thalia family suite also has two bedrooms and can be found for under $200, again a great deal. The next tier up from my entry-level room would be a Euterpe Queen Deluxe. It features 510 square feet of space, but costs an extra $80 to $100 more per night, so the Clio King felt like a better deal. My room offered more than enough space for a solo guest or a couple. In fact, dollar for dollar, the space afforded is some of the best value in town, especially when backed up with an aesthetic as stylish and memorable as it was. I would opt for my entry-level room again, unless I was looking to splurge, in which case the suites are your best bet.
