Avenue Plaza Resort keeps you close to all the New Orleans excitement but away from most of the crowds and commotion. Experience the outdoor courtyard swimming pool, with jetted soaking tub attached, on the landing to "The Ashley House," an antebellum home that is owned by the resort. Visit the resort’s rooftop sun deck to enjoy a spectacular view of the city. If you’re interested in a juicy steak, fresh seafood or gumbo, Mr. John’s restaurant, located in the lobby, really hits the spot.
