Standard Double

Double Double

One of two Double Double rooms with full-sized beds located on the second level of the B&B, this light and airy room was once the rear gallery of the original owner’s quarters. It features bright windows, hardwood floors and a dining room table belonging to the current owner’s great Aunt from circa 1940. The private bath has a tub/shower. Its a favorite of students and their parents visiting Tulane or Loyola, yet we are only minutes to the French Quarter.

Butler’s Pantry

DSC_0697- Butler Pantry

The Butler’s Pantry with its two full-sized beds is a part of the mansion, but it has an outside entrance. It’s most convenient to the parking area and it has the only mini-fridge/ microwave in the house. You will have to walk down a short sidewalk to get into the main hall of the home for breakfast, but the privacy and convenience of parking your car and going right into your room is worth it.

Deluxe King

Deluxe King

This Deluxe King bedroom, a very popular accommodation in our New Orleans B&B, has a side sun room and the current owner’s grandmother’s breakfast table. Its perfect for a private cup up coffee and the newspaper in the morning for two. Unique to this room in the Inn are the hidden pocket doors with glass inserts. These doors allowed the sunlight into the room during winter while protecting from the cold (doors are not functional today but your Innkeeper will show you how they operated). You’ll relax in the comfortable wrought iron king with an original decorative fireplace at the foot of your bed.
