:: INTRODUCTION :: Soniat House is the only New Orleans hotel included in Small Luxury Hotels of the World. In January 2003, Travel and Leisure once again named Soniat House "one of the best hotels in the world." It was created twenty years ago by combining three historic Creole town-houses. The remarkable renovation by Rodney and Frances Smith won every local award as well as national praise for its sensitive design and the striking taste of the guest rooms. Two of the houses were built in 1830 by Joseph Soniat, a plantation owner who needed a house in city when visiting with his large family. Just four years later his oldest son built an even larger house. The three have become one. :: HOTEL FACILITIES :: About Soniat House number of rooms 21 number of suites 12 no pets no smoking no children under 10 The glorious detail—spiral stairs, balconies, patios are all intact.
