The Dew Drop Inn has been home to music’s greatest icons, and we haven’t skipped a beat.
Impeccably restored to its historic 1950s façade and mid-century modern design, the storied site stands once again as an intimate music venue where Little Richard first improvised Tutti Frutti, and a 17-room boutique hotel where Ray Charles laid his head many a night. The brand new pool and patio create a modern-day oasis in the heart of New Orleans’ Central City neighborhood.
