In the 1960s there was a hotel in New Orleans called The Fontainebleau. Is it still there?
My parents stayed there for part of their honeymoon and I promised Mom I would look it up while we're here.

- I heard it turned into a fish pond fer a while
- Sorry, but it closed around 1990 and the building is now a mini-storage facility. The Foutainbleu was at the corner of Tulane Avenue and S. Carrollton Avenue. In its day (including during the 1960s), the Fountainbleu was one of the city's premier hotels.
- The Fontainebleau Motor Hotel, which resided on Tulane Avenue & S. Carrollton Avenue no longer exists. It is now partically used as dormatory housing Xavier University students and the rest is a as climate controlled public storage units. I believe the hotel closed its doors in the mid to late 80s.
- Yes, it is a mini-storage facility now on the corner of Carrollton Avenue and Tulane Avenue. Did you know that before it was The Fontainebleau Hotel, it was Pelican Stadium, a baseball field?
- No, it is now a storage facility. It was still operating as a hotel in the 1980s.
