With a upstairs king bedroom with a private bathroom and a second king bedroom downstairs with a cleverly designed hallway bathroom for added privacy, the space offers versatility for various stays.



This condominium serves as an ideal home base for Mardi Gras festivities, offering a convenient stroll to the French Quarter, Superdome, Smoothie King Center Arena, and the Convention Center. Whether you're cheering on our beloved Saints football team, catching an NBA Pelicans basketball game, attending concerts and events, or participating in conventions, trade shows, and expos, this location places you within easy reach of downtown attractions.



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 Historic Politics as you step into this 2-bed, 2-bath condo at The Picayune. The thoughtfully designed space features an upstairs king bedroom with a bathroom, complete with a tub/shower combo for a luxurious experience. Revel in the spaciousness and privacy offered by this master retreat. The downstairs 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 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.



Stay connected with high-speed WiFi and enjoy complimentary water and Gatorade to keep you refreshed during your stay. Dive into the city's rich coffee culture with French Market Coffee provided, allowing you to savor a quintessential New Orleans experience right in the comfort of your own space. Whether you're here for business or leisure, The Picayune's Historic politics themed condo adds an extra layer of character to your stay, ensuring that your time in New Orleans is as memorable as it is comfortable.

The CBD serves as the city's bustling commercial and financial hub, characterized by its iconic skyscrapers, lively streets, and a unique fusion of old-world architecture and contemporary design.

Within this district lies a gem of historical significance. The Picayune is a meticulously renovated building that stands as a testament to New Orleans' rich past. This landmark, steeped in history, has been carefully preserved and adapted to meet the demands of the present day. Its restoration retains the allure of a bygone era while offering contemporary amenities for a truly unique experience.

    The host has been incredible! She has kept in touch throughout the whole trip. She gave us ideas on places to go and things to do, which were completely AMAZING! She hooked us up with tickets for a Mardi Gras parade. She introduced us to so many experiences that we would not have necessarily been about to have experienced in our own, coming into a place we don't already have connections. We will definitely keep in touch with Barbara and book again!

    Highly communicative and informative host. The property was even more spacious than in the photos. Perfect location, just enough off the Quarter to avoid the noise and bustle, but close enough for an easy walk after hours! And always easy to get a taxi or Uber all around the city, not to mention convenient to the trolley for some lovely touring. Rent without fear!

    This Vrbo property looked amazing and exceeded our expectations! It is super spacious, with ample bedroom space for our group of 4. The living room is also lovely and was very comfortable to come back to after so much exploring of NOLA. The French Quarter was a very short walk and we were able to easily get to so many different sights and restaurants. Finally, Barbara at VacayNOLA was amazing to work with and made our check-in as smooth as could be. She also gave us great recommendations and has a wealth of knowledge about where to go on your trip. We highly recommend this property for a NOLA get-away trip! Many thanks!!

    I will begin with a special thank you to Barbra who was by far the best, her communication skills made me feel like I'd known her for years. She was friendly, professional and informative. We reserved a two bedroom/two bath condo for two couples that did not disappoint. The space was perfect, we had plenty of room to hang out in the open living space and play games at the dining table, the balcony was a nice touch, we especially enjoyed being able to see the New Years fireworks. The kitchen was well stocked, the washer and dryer were a great touch.Location, location location... this place is walking distance from all the excitement of Canal and Bourbon Streets but far enough not hear the partying while in the condo. We went to the Saints and Raider Football game (Go Raiders!!) and were able to take a short walk to the stadium. We walked everywhere and enjoyed delicious food, listened to wonderful live music on the street and in some of the restaurants. We will definitely stay here whenever we visit NOLA.We'd like to take a moment to express our deepest sympathy to the people that lost their lives as they celebrated the new year. Our hearts go out to the entire community of New Orleans. Barbara took time to personally call and make sure that we were safe which further showed how wonderful of a person she is.God bless us all.

    Barbara, the property manager, was amazing during this trip. We had originally booked Politics but Barbara realized the floors were being refinished in that unit and it might not be ready for our stay, so she coordinated with us via phone and had us moved to Front Page News This unit was an upgrade with a balcony overseeing Camp Street, for no additional cost! Throughout or stay Barbara checked in with us and gave us the rundown of the apartment and things to do locally. She also checked in when the terrorist event happened on New Years morning. She went above and beyond and made us feel very welcome. Really appreciated the whole process and Barbara going the extra mile to make our stay great!
