“The Brakeman cleverly marries its rail station past with modern boutique style, located just outside the French Quarter, making it a prime spot for experiencing the city's cultural heart. Rooms are spacious, with thoughtful touches like exposed brick, and the cafe downstairs delivers authentic New Orleans flavors; the rooftop space seals the deal. I'd recommend it for travelers who appreciate character and convenience.”
