Pontchartrain Hotel makes Old World elegance meet Southern hospitality. Each of the 118 guest rooms and suites is individually designed and exquisitely furnished, offering the splendor of a bygone era while providing luxurious, modern amenities. No other hotel in the world more appropriately conveys the feeling of being an honored guest in someone's home than does the Pontchartrain. Over the years, the hotel's portals have welcomed dignitaries, royalty, diplomats and stars of stage and screen. To preserve this wonderful guest history, a number of the more illustrious guests have graciously allowed it to attach their names to some of the guest rooms and suites and frequent guests have had suites decorated in their own distinctive styles. For every guest, the Pontchartrain offers the subtle ambience of a small European inn, a refreshing change from ordinary accommodations.
