The Campo Family & Staff

The Campo family migrated to Louisiana in the early 1800's from the Canary Islands. An offer of free land from the Spanish government enticed them to come. Today, three generations are working at the hotel.

Warren L. Campo Jr. is a great-great-grandson of the first Campo who immigrated to Louisiana. Warren was a musician during World War II. While stationed in Bremerton, Washington, he met and married Lela. After the war ended, they moved back to New Orleans. By this time, Warren 'Larry' Campo III was born. Warren Jr.'s experience in a family owned music business made him a natural to be a purchasing agent for the hotel. Due to the loss of their home during Hurricane Katrina, Warren and Lela are temporarily living in Connecticut. They are hoping to return to New Orleans in October 2006.

Larry, who has a degree in accounting, is the chief financial officer. Three of Larry's children assist in the daily operations. Holly, our webmaster & aspiring jewelry designer, works weekday nights, as well as handling special projects and promotions. April is currently attending school in Tampa, FL, but she will be back to help out at the hotel whenever possible. Warren IV attends college and will assist you on the weekend nights with hot spots and nightlife activities.

The Campo family pride themselves by offering the old world charm of 24-hour desk service staffed by family members.
