Carousel Bar at Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans On a picturesque bayou in Cheneyville, surrounded by sugar cane fields and live oaks, sits Loyd Hall Plantation . The views are great but, if you’re lucky, you won’t see the ghost of the double agent who was hung here on the lawn during the Civil War. Nestled in the woods in Basile is Crying Eagle Lodge , a wilderness resort where deer and your soul can run free. When you’re not out fishing, swimming, kayaking, playing tennis, hiking, mountain biking or going on a wildlife tour, you can relax in luxury. In New Orleans, the historic Hotel Monteleone offers a view of the Vieux. (Royal Street, to be exact.) Check into a Literary Suite, each one named for one of the hotel’s famous guests like Truman Capote, William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Ernest Hemingway. Before you settle down for the night, go for a ride on the revolving Carousel Bar. And quite possibly one of the most stunning views in all of Louisiana awaits at the Four Seasons Hotel overlooking the Mississippi River and Canal Street.
