Hot Rates: $79 Rooms at International House, New Orleans

We just got word about a fabulous deal at one of our favorite hotels in New Orleans. International House-- the sexy hotel by Sean Cummings and LM Pagano that's located two blocks from the French Quarter-- is offering "RockStar Rooms" starting at just $79 per night on select dates (June 1,2,19-23 & 27-29; July 4-14 & 21-31; August 1 - 31, 2011). Book your stay and you'll be one of the first to stay in the hotel's newest room type designed by LM Pagano.

They feature a 42 inch wall-mounted Sony LCD screen connected to an Apple TV, a custom closet by Louisiana Closets and 3 Jack & Jake's locally grown organic apples."
