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 "Local Culture" as you step into this 3-bed, 3-bath condo at The Picayune. The thoughtfully designed space features two king bedrooms with private bathrooms, one upstairs with a tub/shower combo and one downstairs complete with a step-in shower for a luxurious experience. Revel in the spaciousness and privacy offered by these master retreats. The guest bedroom, hosting a king bed, is equally inviting, with a cleverly designed hallway bathroom that transforms into a private oasis when the door is closed. This clever configuration adds a touch of versatility to the space.
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.

You don’t get a better location than this. Almost every activity was walkable : museums, the quarter , restaurants. Uber pick ups were super easy . Great breakfast place and a Starbucks within the block depending if you want your familiar food with or you want to try some good local diner New Orleans. the accommodations are fantastic. Everyone in the party had a private bathroom. The bedrooms are organized so no one shares walls. The upstairs loft was a little bright if you like it dark but it needed to be that way to honor the architecture. Air conditioner was great and kept us comfortable with the humidity and heat. Management was reachable at any time and very accommodating and friendly. You would not be disappointed with this place.

Overall, this was a good property for our needs although seating was not ideal for six guests: there are only four dining chairs, there are only four (wobbly) breakfast stools. Great location between The Quarter and the Warehouse District in the CBD. Very clean, good communication with the property manager. You need to know that two out of the three bedrooms do not have solid walls (there are interior "windows" with no glass on one wall in each of these two bedrooms) so they are not completely private; you can't see into these bedrooms but you can hear what's going on. Also, if you are sensitive to noise, we could hear quite a bit of street noise from cars in our fourth floor unit. It's an old building and not remotely soundproof.

We had a great time. The location was perfect - really within walking distance of just about everywhere we wanted to go, and the property was perfect. 3 king bedrooms with their own bathrooms, beds were so comfortable, washer and dryer, cute kitchen and seating area. We watched a parade from our window! Great time.

Our family had a wonderful time in Picayun 401! No better place for parades and French Quarter access.

The condo is perfect for three adult couples and it has a very New Orleans feel to it with the exposed brick. We would recommend the management company to check the shower curtain liners for replacement. The upstairs bedroom needs window coverings. The beds are pretty tall so a step stool in the room would have been very helpful. It was very nice to be away from the noise of the French Quarter when sleep was required. All in all, we had a wonderful time!
