Named in honor of Count de Pontchartrain from the court of Louis XVI, the doors of the Pontchartrain Hotel were first opened in March of 1927. In a redecoration campaign that began in the 1960s, each room of the Pontchartrain has been individually furnished with period antiques. Since then, as celebrities have stayed in the newly decorated suites, the suites have been in their honor. Suites are now named for Mary Martin, Richard Burton, Joan Fontaine, Carol Channing, Helen Hayes and many others who considered the hotel their home in New Orleans.
