Peacock Room is an ornate all-day gathering spot that functions equally as a creative French salon and of-the-moment nightspot within the Kimpton Hotel Fontenot. The space features furniture spanning multiple eras, mosaic-tiled floors, a menagerie of prints and patterns, and a dramatic 19th-century bar where punch-bowl cocktails are served. During the day, natural light pours through skylights creating a luminous, inviting atmosphere perfect for afternoon cocktails or early dinner. As evening approaches, the mood shifts to something moody and sultry, with dim lighting enhancing the sensual atmosphere. The modern Southern cuisine features bold flavors and seasonal ingredients, with Chef Samuel Peery crafting refined shareable plates alongside signature cocktails. The bar stocks everything from classics to hard-to-find spirits, with an impressive collection of rum and madeira and an emphasis on light, floral drinks that pair perfectly with the sophisticated food program. Operating Monday through Sunday with varying hours, the space welcomes both walk-ins and reservations, though the latter is always recommended. The overall effect is one of cultured indulgence, where every detail from the decor to the cocktails to the food has been carefully considered. It's the kind of place that rewards lingering and discovery.
