Take A Tour of The Warbler Hotel

Taking up the space that was once the Trolley Stop Cafe, the super chic Warbler Hotel is an architectural feast for the eyes and a playground for every other sense. The 58-room hotel immediately signals the curves inside through large arched windows that make viewing St. Charles Avenue feel like looking at living art. The lounge and bar/restaurant Mildred's on the ground floor throb with activity from locals who love getting an after-work martini and catching up with neighbors; visitors will love getting into this mix. Verdant green is pulled throughout the spaces in wall color, curtains, and the terrazzo floor bejeweled with jagged-edged green marble; curved walls and lovely arches that transport you to the Art Deco era. There may be more curved edges than straight ones.
