The Old Jail is the perfect get away in the heart of New Orleans for a single room or multiple rooms if you’ve got a group trip to Louisiana. The vibe is immaculate and the owner/operator Todd is the ultimate party host with enough recommendations and Bourbon Street wisdom to keep your itinerary lively and epic. Skip the French Quarter chaos and stay at this epic spot!
