The Victorian Lounge at The Columns Hotel is a step back in time to an era of refined elegance and architectural beauty. Located at 3811 St Charles Avenue in Uptown, this lounge inhabits a turn-of-the-century Italianate mansion built in 1883 that's now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The space features gilded bronze chandeliers, dark carved mahogany walls, and a coffered coved ceiling that evokes authentic Victorian glamour. Classic cocktails are served in an atmosphere that transports you to another era. Sunday Jazz Brunch adds a lively element, while nightly live music keeps the room energized. The hotel's famous porch and new patio offer views of the beautiful St Charles Avenue streetcar line. Movie enthusiasts might recognize elements from Louis Malle's 1978 film Pretty Baby, which featured the hotel and added to its legendary status. The Victorian Lounge delivers authentic period elegance without feeling stuffy, making it perfect for those seeking sophisticated New Orleans atmosphere with real historical depth.
