Retro Camper Room
The Retro Camper Van Room at the Hard Sell Hotel comes loaded with all the bells & whistles plus a side of nostalgia. This baby comes standard with a queen-size bed surrounded & covered with super soft shag. The hand painted retro stripes will take you back to the days when gas was $0.31/gallon. Front row bench seating, or couch, with plenty of leg room. Beaded curtains, Bluetooth record player, smart TV & mini fridge are a perfect mix of that vintage feel and modern comfort.
Studio 504
Dust off your platform shoes & come boogie down in the Studio 504 room at the Hard Sell Hotel. Funky fixtures, record player & lots of other far out amenities, ya dig? After dark, you can mellow the vibe with the slow rotating disco ball or just enjoy a hot tea in a cozy armchair. The Studio 504 room is the perfect place to get the party started or crash afterward. Peace, love & granola!
Sputnik Room
Sunrise to sunset, this king sized room features hand painted super graphics to accent all the funky amenities. Sputnik light fixture, comfy mid century modern lounge chairs with ottomans, vintage armoire, cat clock & more! The bluetooth record player, smart TV & bohemian style living room are a perfect mix of that vintage feel and modern comfort.
Sazerac Room
The Sazerac Room at the Hard Sell Hotel is as loud & vibrant as the neighborhood itself! Named after a traditional New Orleans cocktail, this room follows a similar recipe: 2 parts Party, 1 part Sweet, a dash of bitter & a hallucinogenic rinse (Look it up). The bed is comfy, the record player works & the blackout curtains are top notch. Relax to the soundtrack of the Marigny or come on down & join the fun!
Atomic Family Room
The Atomic Family room at the Hard Sell Hotel captures design elements from the 1940’s all the way to the future. A subtle balance between a bomb shelter and the Jetsons. This no window room is perfect for people who enjoy their privacy and hate the sun. Hand built furniture and fixtures, soft shag rug, adjustable overhead lighting, bluetooth record player, mini fridge & smart TV are a perfect mix of that vintage feel and modern comfort.
