Opulence Meets Eccentricity in This New Orleans Bar

An ornate all-day gathering spot that’s equal parts creative French salon and of-the-moment nightspot, the Peacock Room is the crown jewel of Kimpton Hotel Fontenot — a fitting description, given that it feels just like opening an opulent jewel box and reveling in the discovery of its riches. Expect furniture that spans several eras, mosaic-tiled floors, a menagerie of prints and patterns, and punch-bowl cocktails served from a 19th-century bar. Don’t be surprised to find yourself sipping alongside the city’s best-known tastemakers.
