A prominent location for metahumans in the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] series, '''Old Stanley's''' is a seven-story hotel located in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Orleans%2C_Louisiana New Orleans, Louisiana]. Built in the French Quarter in 1720 by a temporary coalition of ‘special people’ from diverse backgrounds, all of whom possessed power, Old Stanley's was built for the purpose of creating a neutral area where '''anyone''' of their ilk could go for rest, entertainment, to work out business, or for sanctuary. (An unusually tall structure for its time, Old Stanley's was specifically built to have seven floors as part of the internal defensive measures inherent within the structure.)
A series of extraordinarily potent (and direct) defensive measures are in place, which are time-tested as to their effectiveness against any ultra-powered metahuman (or human forces) who wants to take the establishment, and its secrets and power, for their own purposes. Those same defensive measures also protect the establishment from any form of damage; the structure was undamaged by the effects of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_katrina Hurricane Katrina], and many residents of the area who were unable to leave (those who have some idea of just what the place is, but have the good sense not to pry or run their mouths) sought and were granted shelter at Old Stanley's during the emergency.

When [[Kyle Armalin]] went to New Orleans in 2005 to aid in the relief efforts after Hurricane Katrina, he and other metahumans used Old Stanley's as a covert base of operations. When [[Black Majesty]] came to [[Legion Tower]] in search of a [[Soul Crystal]], Armalin wondered if he was known to the staff at Old Stanley's, indicating that there is a fairly comprehensive listing of metahumans available at the establishment. The VR combat simulation between the members of the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] and [[The Alliance]] (seen in LLH 12:5 and 12:6) was viewed my a select group of spectators at an establishment on the Fourth Floor known as [[The Club]], where a grest deal of wagering on the match took place.
