Margaret Place is a referral-only five-room ultra-boutique hotel. You cannot book without a referral or an invitation.
Why referral-only?
Putting Friends First: We got sick of turning away friends that we wanted to host for randos we didn’t. Staying in an anonymous, overpriced room surrounded by strangers isn’t conducive to a good vacation. We’d rather sit empty than subject our people to that.
“It is not so much our friends’ help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.” – Epicurus
Your Second Home: Our hotel rooms are designed like bedrooms in a luxury home. We wanted to have the freedom to stock them with our favorite, precious things and amenities like game consoles and media libraries that we know we wouldn’t want to be without for long stays. Likewise, we want to be able to make your trip special and provide access to places, people, and scenes that we simply can’t let just anyone know about.
Lower Prices: Booking platforms and OTAs can charge up to 50%, and that’s before the real costs of terrible guests and fake bookings. We’re not comfortable charging what we should for our rooms, and we’re also not comfortable giving a deal to those who don’t appreciate it.
Events: Margaret Place has incredible and unique hotel rooms, but our events are where we shine. All bookings are subject to cancellation or amendment so that we have the freedom to host the parties, weddings, and community events that we want.
Why Margaret Place?
Quality in Depth: A great shower is important to me, so I was excited that those at the Hard Rock Hotel in Biloxi had three heads. However, when I went to turn them all on, all I got was a paltry stream from one and a trickle from the next highest. We’re the opposite of that. In our case, we don’t just put in the 8-head shower, but the dedicated instant hot water heater, the digital shower controller, the 1.5″ pet supply, a pressure boosting pump, and then we run every drop of water coming on-site through a filtration plant the size of a mini cooper.
Central Location: We’re walkable to both the French Quarter and Commander’s Palace and a block off the St. Charles Avenue parade route. We’re like a little pocket universe, on a street nearly all our own with a few great spots to ourselves, but walk a block in any direction and you’re in a whole different world.
For Those Who Know: This is not a sex club, nudist colony, secret gambling den, or any other sort of place with a need to vette its guests. But, what we are is a place that welcomes pluralism – we’re different things to different people and we love and protect people who are different too. We’re a deep space, we don’t want to have a “type” of clientele and we don’t want to be featured in your fucking travel magazine. We’re a space that always evolving for those who are doing the same.
