The Cornstalk Hotel

The Cornstalk hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is equally as famous as a tourist attraction as it is a Hotel. The fence that stands around it was built by the original owner, Francoise-Xavier Martin, a native of Marseilles, France, in the early 1800's to ease his homesick bride's sorrow for her home state of Iowa. The Cornstalk features beautifully appointed rooms and all the amenities a guest could hope for. The historically maintained and welcoming guest rooms with historic and comfortable furnishings will send you back in time but never wanting for any modern conveniences. Exquisitely, Victorian styled rooms with Old World Charm and 14 foot gold leaf ceilings, chandeliers, fireplaces (decorative only due to local post Katrina ordinances), internet access, private baths. A common balcony overlooking Royal Street is accessible to all guests.

While known for its Victorian charm, the hotel understands the modern business traveler. The hotel's wireless network is encrypted and is compatible with all operating systems. Relax on the balcony overlooking the Rue Royal and enjoy the sights and sounds of the French Quarter (and check an e-mail or two!). The Cornstalk Hotel has played host to many famous guests that include; Bill and Hillary Clinton, Richard Burton and Liz Taylor, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward and even the King himself...Elvis graced the halls of The Cornstalk during the filming of King Creole.
