THE SCHOOL HOUSE
The School House features a palette of colors derived from 14th-18th century religious paintings in a variable array of rooms, inhabiting former classrooms, the school theater, and sleeping lofts under the eaves. The guest rooms borrow aesthetic influences from Europe, including Sweden, Italy and France. Furnishings fall into two categories: pieces designed and constructed locally by regional artisans, or antiquities collected from the great antique fairs of Europe and several of New Orleans’ finest estates. Select rooms feature claw-foot bathtubs. No two rooms are alike.
