Taking its name from its original address and purpose, The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery, located at 535 Tchoupitoulas Street in New Orleans, is celebrating 10 years as one of the city’s premiere boutique hotel destinations. Located in the artsy downtown Warehouse District, just steps from the French Quarter, the hotel was a warehouse for coffee and then a chandlery, trading in goods for sailing voyages dating back to the 1800s. Home to the Ambassador Hotel, the property underwent a complete remodel and officially re-opened as The Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery in June 2015.
Then, rising-star Chef Nina Compton, who had participated in Bravo’s Top Chef’s season 11 in New Orleans and fell in love with the city, decided to bring her first restaurant, Compère Lapin to the hotel with an opening date tied to the Old No. 77’s grand opening.
For the past 10 years, Old No. 77 and Nina Compton (a 2018 James Beard Award ‘Best Chef: South’ winner) have delighted visitors and locals alike in a welcoming thoughtfully designed setting that offers visitors a taste of New Orleans that defies and exceeds local and tourist expectations with authenticity and style.
To celebrate this milestone anniversary, the hotel and restaurant have announced a number of incentives for those choosing to stay at the property or dine at Compère Lapin including a special Diamond Anniversary Offer, available to book at a three-night minimum stay through from Aug. 31, 2025, with rates starting at just $157 per night. Delivering the full NOLA experience, the hotel offer includes a bottle of bubby to toast your getaway and a copy of Chef Nina Compton’s recently released cookbook, Kwéyòl / Creole, for visitors to bring the soulful flavor home.
A $200 dining credit is also on offer as part of the package for guests who wish to sample Compton’s award-winning cuisine. In addition, Compère Lapin is honoring the anniversary with a special prix-fixe Greatest Hits Menu through from June 30, 2025. Highlighting fan-favorite dishes from the past decade, the four-course menu will be priced at $70 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and reflects the restaurant’s evolution and impact through a curated selection of iconic dishes.
