The Harlequin by AvantStay | Stylish Suites + Full Kitchen | Steps to the French Quarter & Bourbon

Some buildings carry their history in the walls, and The Harlequin is one of them. This Canal Street landmark once housed New Orleans' very first movie theater, and that cinematic past still runs through the place — now reimagined as a collection of design-forward apartments that trade the marquee for stylish, easygoing comfort right in the middle of the action. This booking pairs two apartments side by side — four bedrooms and room for eight, on the same floor and just steps apart. It's the setup families and groups of friends actually want: everyone together, but with two full apartments to spread into when it's time for quiet. Both units carry the same considered style, though the view, layout, and finer design details vary from one to the next. The location is the rare kind that lives up to a perfect 100/100 walk score. Step out the door and the best of the city is right there: the French Quarter a few blocks away, Bourbon Street's buzz minutes off, and Jackson Square, the Saenger Theatre, and the St. Charles Streetcar line all close enough to reach before your coffee cools. Grab beignets at Café du Monde, wander the historic French Market, or drift toward the riverfront and follow the jazz on the breeze. Inside, each apartment is a calm counterpoint to the city's hum. Select suites frame the glow of Canal Street through oversized windows, and newly refreshed interiors bring in curated art, thoughtful design, and every essential for an easy stay. The fully equipped kitchens make in-home dinners and slow mornings simple, and the living areas — smart TVs included — are made for winding down after a long day out. Hearing-accessible options mean the whole group is genuinely covered. Come for a show, the food, the nightlife, or all three: The Harlequin puts you right in the middle of it, surrounded by history and steps from everything that makes New Orleans stick with you. We have multiple spaces at this property, each designed to give you a beautiful place to stay. While our style is consistent, the view, layout, and design may vary.

For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips! Canal Street is one of New Orleans’ most storied and dynamic thoroughfares, a place where the city’s past and present come together in full color. Once known as the “neutral ground” dividing the French and American sectors, today it’s the heartbeat of downtown, connecting the French Quarter to the Central Business District and beyond. Lined with grand architecture, historic theaters, and the famous streetcar line, Canal Street offers effortless access to everything that makes New Orleans extraordinary. From here, you can wander to jazz clubs on Frenchmen Street, shop along Magazine Street, or catch a performance at the Saenger Theatre. And when it’s time to slow down, the Mississippi Riverfront and leafy squares provide the perfect contrast to the city’s lively rhythm. Whether you’re here for the music, the food, the festivals, or the unmistakable spirit that fills the air, Canal Street places you at the center of it all.
