The Provincial Hotel in New Orleans

This lovely hotel is located in the French Quarter at 1024 Charles Street and adds charm to New Orleans with its antique furnishings and spacious courtyard.  It was once the Confederate hospital and confederate soldiers and doctors have been seen wandering the corridors. Moans and groans have been heard throughout the whole place.
A little history about this place:
           In 1718, Jean Baptiste LaMoyne, Sieur de Bienville, established New Orleans as the capitol of Louisiana. The land on which this hotel is located was a grant from King Louis XV of France to Bienville's Lieutenant Louis Boucher de Granpre in 1725.
          In 1775, it was sold to Chevalier Jean Lavillebeuvre, an Indian agent for the Frech Colony form 1780 until 1797. Then in the 1800's, it was acquired and developed by the Laurans and Rogue families.
          In 1903, it was sold to French Market Ice Company. The Dupepe family purchased the tract after fire destroyed the Ice Company in 1958. The family then built the 100-200 buildings which opened as a hotel in 1961.
          Well, it seems like this hotel has been through a lot of families and has some history to it. Below are some beautiful photos of the Provincial Hotel.
 It's no wonder weddings take place here. It's so romantic.
