Constructed in 1775, the building was first a home to prosperous merchant Samuel Hermann, then it became a Civil War bordello frequented by Confederate soldiers.
Many report this French Quarter hotel is still home to the ghosts of many of these ladies-of-the-night, who often dance around the property. It’s said a dark-haired gentleman in a military uniform has also been spotted in the courtyard.
Rates for the hotel start at $209 a night. They also have a Halloween 2009 package that includes 2 nights courtyard accommodations, daily continental breakfast and two tickets to the Ghosts & Spirits Walking Tour, among other amentities, for $480 (double occupancy).
