ESSENCE FESTIVAL 2023

 
Are you ready to Sprinkle Your Black Girl Magic all over NEW ORLEANS??

Join us for a weekend of pure Essence at Essence Festival 2023! 

 

There’s nothing New Orleans lacks for when it comes to a weekend away at Essence Festival. The Big Easy’s got it all: award-winning restaurants, sexy cocktail bars, stellar shopping, endless history, and hot hotels with charm to spare.

 

Essence Festival, is largest music festival in the country that celebrates African-American culture. The event was originally planned as a one-time event to celebrate the silver jubilee of  Essence magazine. Famous as ‘the party with a purpose,’ the event’s success encouraged the organizers to make it into an annual music festival. The main idea behind the event is to empower and offer a platform to musicians, artists, speakers, and entrepreneurs of the African-American community. 

 

It's official: 2022 Essence Festival is planning an in-person return to the  Superdome | Music | nola.com2022 Essence Fest returns to New Orleans this weekend with Janet Jackson,  Nicki Minaj: See COVID rules | Louisiana Festivals | nola.com 

HOTEL VINACHE- All Style, Even More Charm

 

 

Steps away from The French Quarter, Bourbon Street, and theater and business districts. It’s almost like someone said, find the perfect location in New Orleans and here you have Hotel Vinache. A place of sophisticated comfort, vintage architectural touches, a welcoming place to feel at home. It doesn’t hurt that we’re ideally situated near all the top attractions, so exploring the charms of the area and the rich history of the city is an easy stroll away.

 

 New Orleans is a city with deep roots and stories to tell and so do we. Whether it’s the tales of our past or fresh new ones, the best places to visit or pointing you to the coolest speakeasy in town. We embrace the legacy of the characters and stories who shaped our Canal Street home. 

 

 

Canal Street has been shaped by every kind of character and story imaginable. Originally conceptualized as a waterway by French surveyor Joseph Antoine Vinache in 1807, the canal evolved into a street and became the main thoroughfare of the city. In honor of his vision for the street we call home, Mr. Vinache became our namesake. We’ve stayed connected to the street’s early days as a famous meeting ground, where all the elements that give New Orleans its certain je ne sais quoi came together: old world elegance, daring adventure, bold innovation, and eccentric mystique, all mingling together on the neutral ground of Canal Street.

The beloved streetcar line runs through the center of it all, right past Hotel Vinache, bringing locals and visitors together to experience New Orleans, New Orleans style.

 

 

The hotel features 155 newly, appointed guest accommodations and 24 suites. Their services include valet parking, business center, state of the art fitness facility, valet dry cleaning. The guest room amenities are endless, starting with the Serenity Bedding with down duvet and pillows, large work area desk with ergonomic chair, mini-refrigerators, coffee/tea maker, HS wireless internet service, in-room safes, iron and ironing board, two-line phone with voice mail and of course in-room dining is available.
