Built in 1883 and transformed into hotel in 1953, The Columns is a landmark of New Orleans and a witness of history. Since 2019, with its new owner, the Jayson Seidman family, The Columns is fully restored and completed with a new garden, rooftop sundeck and a new cocktail bar. In walking distance from other historic mansions in the district, the new Columns hotel continues to be a charming destination that cannot be missed for both travellers and the locals.
