If you are looking for a free night of fun that’s Naughty or Nice, look no further than Hotel Storyville. The beachy-vibed hotel welcomes guests to its 11th annual open house (called Naughty or Nice for the holidays) on Dec. 4. Guests must bring a food item for a local food bank donation and will be entered to win a two-night stay at the aquamarine abode.

“I moved to NOLA 16 years ago from St Thomas, USVI, where I owned a graphic design studio there for 14 years,” writes owner/operator Barbara Ann Locklear on the hotel’s website. “Soon after moving to New Orleans, I met a sweet, elderly couple that needed my design talent…they owned Hotel Storyville. As they were resident Inn Keepers, it was necessary for one of them to stay and mind the Inn while the other would travel. Later, they asked if I would ‘babysit’ the property so they could vacation together. I said ‘yes.’ In 2005, Katrina devastated much of New Orleans, although there was no flooding on the Esplanade Ridge where the hotel is located. The wife soon passed away and the remaining owner offered to sell the hotel to me. I readily said yes and began my new career as an Innkeeper. In operating the hotel, I brought my love of the ocean and islands [décor wise], and a much needed renovation began.”

Music will be performed in the garden but registration is required. Free food and drinks will be available.  For more information and to register, visit the event’s website here.
