This condominium serves as an ideal home base for Mardi Gras festivities, offering a convenient stroll to the French Quarter, Superdome, Smoothie King Center Arena, and the Convention Center. Whether you're cheering on our beloved Saints football team, catching an NBA Pelicans basketball game, attending concerts and events, or participating in conventions, trade shows, and expos, this location places you within easy reach of downtown attractions.

The Space:
Nestled within the historic embrace of New Orleans' Central Business District, The Picayune stands as a living testament to the city's rich history, with roots that delve deep into the realm of journalism. Originally home to the historic newspaper, The Times-Picayune, this renovated building boasts a connection to the bustling atmosphere of Newspaper Row, a designation used to describe this block of Camp Street.

Newspaper Row, was a vibrant stretch of Camp Street, and was once the epicenter of the city's journalistic endeavors. The Daily Picayune was a prominent player in this dynamic landscape, and its former headquarters in this building have been carefully transformed into the modern incarnation that is The Picayune today.

Stepping into The Picayune is like stepping into a living history book. The building pays homage to its journalistic legacy, with several framed restored prints of original newspapers, dating back to 1890, throughout the building and condo for your enjoyment. It serves as a bridge between the past and the present, where the echoes of historic headlines and the hum of a bustling newsroom can almost be heard through the decades.

Embrace the theme of "Investigative reporting" as you step into this 1-bed, 1-bath condo at The Picayune. The thoughtfully designed space features a king bedroom with a connected bathroom, complete with a step-in shower for a luxurious experience. Revel in the spaciousness and privacy offered by this master retreat.

The condo's meticulous design extends beyond the bedrooms. The open living space and high ceilings contribute to the overall sense of airiness, while original brick accents provide a nod to the building's historical charm. Modern amenities, including stainless appliances and Roku-equipped TVs, seamlessly blend with the historic touches, creating a distinctive and comfortable atmosphere.
Stay connected with high-speed WiFi and enjoy complimentary water and Gatorade to keep you refreshed during your stay. Dive into the city's rich coffee culture with French Market Coffee provided, allowing you to savor a quintessential New Orleans experience right in the comfort of your own space.

The CBD serves as the city's bustling commercial and financial hub, characterized by its iconic skyscrapers, lively streets, and a unique fusion of old-world architecture and contemporary design.
Within this district lies a gem of historical significance. The Picayune is a meticulously renovated building that stands as a testament to New Orleans' rich past. This landmark, steeped in history, has been carefully preserved and adapted to meet the demands of the present day. Its restoration retains the allure of a bygone era while offering contemporary amenities for a truly unique experience.
Situated strategically, The Picayune enjoys a prime location just three blocks away from the world-famous French Quarter. This proximity allows guests to easily immerse themselves in the exciting atmosphere, vibrant culture, and rich history of the neighborhood.

Getting Around:
Walking is the best way to get around in the downtown New Orleans area and when you get tired, rideshare (Uber/Lift/KrewCar) and taxis are generally readily available. Or hop on one of our famous streetcars to see two major routes throughout the city. The St. Charles Ave. streetcars are Green and head away from downtown on St. Charles Ave, into the Garden District, where you will see the beautifully maintained mansions, passing Loyola and Tulane Universities, Audubon Park, and the Audubon Zoo. Red Streetcars travel along Canal Blvd. from the Mississippi River out to City Park. The streetcars are cash only, unless you buy a pass.
The Hop on Hop off tour buses circulate around some of the more popular areas of downtown and offer pickup every 30 minutes.

The Algiers Ferry is a fun way to get across the river. It runs from Canal Street to Algiers throughout the day. Algiers is small and very walkable. Enjoy a quick bite to eat or just enjoy walking through the historic houses.

Bicycle rentals are also a great way to get around and can be rented from various locations throughout downtown. There are bike rental options like Blue Bike with multiple locations throughout the city and tour companies that have guided bike tours.

Outdoor and Adventure - Ideal location
We were actually booked for the Investigative Reporting condo but were kindly offered a free upgrade to their larger space Outdoor and Adventure a few days before arrival so this is more of a review for that apartment but I’m guessing my experience will apply to the entire building. The condo was secure, bright, updated, tastefully decorated, IMMACULATELY clean and exactly as described! The beds were comfy, the water hot and the a/c was cold which you need in NOLA in June! Having the kitchen was nice, there’s a grocery a short walk away and we made breakfast several mornings and snacks at night. We used the washer/dryer several times and detergent and dryer sheets were provided. The location was great, only two blocks to Canal Street with tons of shops and restaurants, the streetcars and then another quick couple blocks to Bourbon Street. We walked or took streetcars everywhere. Yes, there is some noise currently happening in the alley but that can’t last forever and can’t be helped..we just closed the bedroom door which was at the opposite end of the condo and it was fine. Barbara was so easy to work with and we had all we needed after sightseeing, touring and let’s be honest, day drinking. If you’re visiting NOLA, we highly recommend the Picayune!

I loved this condo! I'm from New Orleans and I've never had the opportunity to stay in the CBD. The condo is gorgeous and very clean. I had trouble getting when i first got there, but Barbara was very responsive and helpful and made this trip a pleasurable one. If you're looking for a great place for your visit to New Orleans, this is it. I will definitely be back.

Perfect Stay!!
My husband and I booked this condo a year ago for Mardi Gras. From beginning to end, our stay was fantastic. The condo was exactly as described and the extra items left by the owner were just perfect. Before arrival, I had many questions answered by Barbara who was very accommodating with her answers and suggestions. We love New Orleans and will definitely book this unit again for our future travels.

Perfect location
This location just couldn't be better. Only a few blocks to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, it was much more quiet than if we were in the FQ. If you are visiting from the suburbs or a small town, don't forget this lovely apartment is IN the heart of a city. There are city noises; however, they were less than I expected. Simple ear plugs go a long way in cancelling such noises at bedtime. The bed was extra comfy, the bathroom scrumptious, and the kitchen well equipped. The management company is very helpful and gave us lots of great suggestions. When we go back to NOLA, we will use this same company and (hopefully) stay in this same apartment/building. We hope sooner than later!

Great stay in New Orleans!
We really enjoyed our stay in the condo. This was our first time staying outside of the French Quarter. This condo is very close to the Quarter as well as Canal and Poydras Street so you have lots of great options for restaurants. The condo was quiet with the exception of when trash pick up occurred in the alley behind the building however that typically happened around 8am so it didn't interrupt our sleep. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious. Lots of counter space in the bathroom. Condo was clean and we will definitely return!
