The Peacock Room
501 Tchoupitoulas St, New Orleans, LA 70130
Perch yourself at Peacock Room
The design-lovers' dream lounge. Peacock Room, meticulously planned and executed, transports you to another place and time. Offering a menu of classic cocktails and tapas style plates, as well as delicious entrees. You will not be disappointed by this gilded experience that New Orleans has to offer!
“An ornate all-day gathering spot that's equal parts creative French salon and of-the-moment nightspot, the Peacock Room is the crown jewel of Kimpton Hotel Fontenot — a fitting description, given that it feels just like opening an opulent jewel box and reveling in the discovery of its riches. Expect furniture that spans several eras, mosaic-tiled floors, a menagerie of prints and patterns, and punch-bowl cocktails served from a 19th-century bar. Don't be surprised to find yourself sipping alongside the city's best-known tastemakers.”
— Hotel Fontenot
REFRESHING COCKTAILS + SHAREABLE PLATES
With a large collection of rum and madeira and an emphasis on drinks that are light and floral, the bar offers everything from the classics to hard-to-find spirits. A selection of small plates accompany the sipping, making the setting ideal for snacking or a social dinner. Their own version of the Sazerac is also available, the official cocktail of New Orleans! Sazerac Rye Whiskey, Peychaud's bitters, Herbsaint, and demerara make up this famous drink that tastes like no other.
