Walk to Bourbon St, Riverfront Park, French Qtr | Canal St Stay | The Harlequin

Welcome to The Harlequin by AvantStay!

Step into history and the heart of New Orleans at The Harlequin, where timeless character meets modern comfort on iconic Canal Street. Once home to New Orleans' first movie theater, this landmark building now reimagines its cinematic past as a collection of stylish, design-forward apartments, each one blending the energy of the city with the ease of home.

You’ll be staying in one of the most walkable locations in all of New Orleans, with a 100/100 walkability score. Step outside your door and find yourself surrounded by the best of the city: the French Quarter just a few blocks away, the buzz of Bourbon Street within minutes, 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, stroll through the historic French Market, or wander along the riverfront for live jazz drifting on the breeze.

Inside, each apartment offers a calm retreat from the city’s excitement. In select suites, expansive windows let in the glow of Canal Street below, while newly refreshed interiors feature thoughtful design touches, curated art, and all the essentials for a seamless stay. Fully equipped kitchens make in-home dining easy, and cozy living areas with smart TVs invite you to unwind after a day of exploration. Two- and three-bedroom layouts provide plenty of space for families and groups, and hearing-accessible options ensure everyone feels welcome.

Whether you’re here to catch a show, sample the city’s world-famous cuisine, or experience its legendary nightlife, The Harlequin puts you exactly where you want to be, immersed in history, surrounded by culture, and steps from everything that makes New Orleans unforgettable.

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.

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.
