I'm pleased to rely some good news at last even if it is yet to be confirmed. Le Cafe Royal has allegedly been sold. It is likely to remain a hotel but the open show bar will probably be replaced something more intimate. And quieter, thank heavens.

Good news if true, but if it is to remain a hotel (and attract new customers), millions will require to be spent on upgrading the rooms - which the last time I looked were like a flashback to the 1970s/80s
Definitely some much needed good news as it's been like an Armageddon recently with all the closures.
Al least he is original, also I have already proven otherwise, and finally - I didn't even start visiting until the very late 90's/very early 00's
That's the very late 1990's for the avoidance of doubt - lest I'm now to be accused of visiting in Victorian times (which I would not put past the mental cases on here)
We've been over this all before and I believe that most people in their right mind understand that if you choose to take hotel room in a street where the sole commercial activity is live entertainment and where there was until recently 3 show bars all with shows at midnight or later (LCR entertainment used to go on until the small hours) - then you either accept that or you choose to stay somewhere else.
Further, if the hotel you choose to stay in is not only exposed to the noise from the street but actually sits on top of one of these late night music/show venues, then it shows a special kind of lack of awarenesss if you are surprised to find it a tad noisy!
I last stayed when ian read and robbie ran the hotel , After they passed away , it started to go down hill, very quick
I once rented an apartment in teh French Quarter of New Orleans about two blocks from Bourbon st. Two blocks was not enough and I did not sleep for a week - my fault and lesson learned. No need to complain; you can't have late night entertainment and a cozy night's sleep.
Stayed @ New Cafe Royal in 2014 couple floors above the new show bar and crashed early most nights about ~01:00 with no problems.
Think there even was a street party.
Thankfully there were no spit roasted hotties in purple flared pants and engineers boots keeping the whole hotel awake all night
with their screams of passion...
