We love The Ace and will be staying there, and encourage you to do the same! Use the code SofiaMatthew when booking. There are plenty of other great hotels (The Windsor Court and The Chloe, to name a couple) and AirBnBs in the CBD very close to Pluck.
Yes! Georgie will be there, so your kiddos are welcome too. :)
The welcome dinner is Uptown at Costera, which is right off of the St. Charles streetcar line. If coming from The Ace, get on at Lafayette and off at Robert Street. You can also take a Lyft/Uber.
Fun-casual-classy cocktail.
Absolutely not! :) The 9AM start is for the early birds/ those who are traveling. Feel free to stop by anytime before noon.
