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 Investigative reporting as you step into this 1-bed, 1-bath condo at The Picayune. The thoughtfully designed space features a king bedroom with a connected bathroom, complete with a step-in shower for a luxurious experience. Revel in the spaciousness and privacy offered by this master retreat.



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.

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 Investigative reporting 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.

Red Streetcars travel along Canal Blvd. from the Mississippi River out to City Park. The streetcars are cash only, unless you buy a pass.

The Hop on Hop off tour buses circulate around some of the more popular areas of downtown and offer pickup every 30 minutes.

    The place was beautiful and had everything we needed for a great stay. We loved the provided water, coffee and creamers to get us through the first day or so. The building itself was easy to get in and out of and was in a phenomenal location to walk to all the great New Orleans attractions. Barbara, the property manager was beyond helpful in every way. Will stay again!

    Spotless and ritzy and great bang for the buck. Famous and not-so-famous but nonetheless excellent restaurants in every direction within a 10 or 15 minute walk. Property manager - Barbara is her name I believe - was delightful and rightfully proud of the building and the units she manages. As others have mentioned... some mornings... there is an ungodly racket that goes on for several minutes around 6AM. It probably will wake you up. I got up and investigated: there are small wheeled dumpsters in the narrow street (Picayune Place) behind the building. Guess it's too narrow to drive a garbage truck there - so the sanitation workers wheel them to the truck for pick up at the nearest corner. It's blissfully over after five or ten minutes. It is what it is. I suspect that similar street noises would be present just about anywhere this close to or within the French Quarter. Don't know if I'll be spending much time in New Orleans again any time soon but if so, I'll be checking out this unit's availability before worrying about staying any where else.

    This was our first time to New Orleans and we wanted to get the feeling of the French Quarter and the local community. This place allowed us to do that perfectly! Just as advertised, the place was beautiful and clean, comfortable A/C to offset the 80’s temperature outside. Amenities made us feel at home.The noise of the garbage trucks at 5am daily was a little surprising, even though we were made aware in advance. This did NOT spoil our visit, since it was in the city. We went back to sleep peacefully.The condo was within walking distance to restaurants, the swamp tours pick up spot, the French Quarter, the Aquarium/Insectarium and the WWII museum, all of which we recommend. Also, we walked to the streetcar stops and visited the Garden District and Audubon Park by LSU. Definitely recommend this location and host.

    This is a great spot for comfort but still walking distance to everything. Communication and info provided by Barbara really made our stay efficient and easy. (Thank you Barbara!) she informed us of parking, tips, warnings, and always answer the phone and messages promptly. No fault to the property- we were woken up every morning around 7 am due to excessive LOUD noise. It sounded like bulldozing the roads or even wind banging metal making it hard to sleep past that time. It could have been this specific weekend- but other than that it was a very quiet place during the night time itself.

    This is a review of the host and of the stay including their preemptive movement of us to another unit (Comic themed property # 1176343) due to water damage from the snow before our arrival.Excellent facilities. The unit was very much as advertised. The Vacay Nola Team was responsive - I had trouble finding laundry soap (under the sink in the kitchen!), and they were so helpful. Would absolutely recommend for anyone going to NOLA! We were only there for two nights and would totally go back to these units for more nights. Great experience!

    We had a fantastic experience staying at the Picayune with VacayNOLA! The building felt safe and secure, and the apartment was lovely, spacious, and well appointed. All the amenities were modern and exactly as described in the listing. I appreciated the investigative-themed decor, especially the framed historical news articles. The bed was so comfortable and the apartment so quiet that I slept like a baby. Both of us were there for work and found the space great for both working during the day and resting after a night out. I attended a conference at a large hotel nearby, but was glad to stay in this apartment because it was less expensive, more comfortable, and roomier than a hotel room. This neighborhood is quieter than the French Quarter, but the French Quarter's attractions and nightlife are just a few blocks away. When a maintenance issue came up during our stay in the apartment, the staff at VacayNOLA was very responsive and helpful, and they resolved it right away. We go to NOLA a lot and are so pleased to have found this place -- will definitely stay there again!
