The Pool at Place d'Armes Hotel

"All guests can take in the air around the good-sized pool in the flower-bedecked courtyard"

"Guests can relax in one of two courtyards, the front with a pool and bar, the back a Napoleon-style courtyard with fountain, and all with lots of coverage courtesy magnolia and crepe myrtle trees throughout the complex"

"You’re a hop-skip from both Jackson Square and Café du Monde, and it’s hard to have a care when you’re lounging around an amoeba-shaped pool shaded by palm trees"

"Built in the 18th century, there is a quaint, yesteryear feel throughout the property, which consists of eight renovated town homes surrounding a courtyard with a swimming pool and fountain"

"The complimentary Continental breakfast is laid out in a cheery room overlooking the lush courtyard, which embraces a fountain and a small free-form pool surrounded by wrought-iron furniture, planters and flowers"
