About this property

Luxury Mansion Next To French Quarter

Enter through one of two iron gates that will take you to our beautiful water fountain courtyard or up into the beautiful parlor adorned with an antique chandelier and hard wood floors. You'll be saturated by the feeling of old New Orleans with the high ceilings and large windows in each room. Relax on one of our balconies and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city from the large courtyard! The main Bed & Breakfast features 4 private bedrooms, each with private ensuite bathroom, a shared full kitchen, dining room, large living area, and large balcony. In addition to the main Bed & Breakfast, there are 3 more large private suites, each with private bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchenettes, and living rooms. Access to those is through another shared balcony and large courtyard with a beautiful fountain.

In total there are 9 queen-beds and 4 queen sofa-sleepers. Its designed to sleep 26 people.

Besides location...a block from the French Quarter and the new street-car line. You can sit on the swing in the beautiful courtyard and take in all this great city has to offer.

Esplanade Mansion is a block or two from the French Quarter & Street-Car line, Buffa's, Port of Call, Frenchmen Street & Armstrong Park.. You’ll love the location, the people, the views, the high ceilings, and the coziness. It is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and large groups.
The lovely large living room is furnished with 6 lounging chairs and dining table with 6 chairs. The full-kitchen is perfect for dining as it is equipped with all appliances, and dinnerware, etc. Situated next to the world renowned French Quarter, guests can enjoy an afternoon of wining, dining, sight-seeing, city tours, and later watch the sunset from the balcony off the parlor-room. Spend the day away, enjoying nearby attractions such as French Quarter, Café du Monde, Frenchmen Street, Healing Center, Saint Roch Market, Spotted Cat, 3 Muses or just walking the centuries old Oak trees in front of the guest bed & Breakfast. Don't forget to take a ride on the new or oldest Street-Car line to see the rest of Big Easy!
A fun note, Esplanade Mansion was a plantation home after the civil war and for many years it was a illegal, functioning brothel.

This listing is for the entire mansion on the 1st and 2nd floors. The owner lives on the 3rd floor and the apartment next to him on the 3rd floor is also available as an additional rental and may be rented out separately if not reserved by your group.

What a fabulous location & layout!
A group of 13 of us rented this place as a home base for a mini-high school reunion. Absolutely loved the set up, where we could all gather together but still have our own private spaces. 100% would rent again!

Great for large groups
Really great location and large enough for really big groups. Dining room larger than appears in pictures which we enjoyed for group gatherings. The futons left something to be desired but fine for one or two nights!

We loved it
We booked the whole place for a birthday party weekend, and loved it. The rooms are comfortable and varied, and the bathrooms were clean and everything worked fine. We loved the courtyard area. Easy walk to the Quarter. We had several cars and parking was not an issue. Would definitely stay again!

Home base for wedding trip
We had a great time here! The individual rooms with en-suite bathrooms were perfect for our multigenerational group of adults, giving everyone enough privacy while still providing central spaces in the main house and courtyard for group gathering (*a caveat about the courtyard below). The hosts kindly allowed us to drop off our luggage in the main house before our check-in time. We made limited use of the kitchen, and it had most of what we needed, but for a group of 12 we did sometimes come up short on dinnerware. A larger (or second) table and set of chairs in the dining/living area would've been nice, but we were able to make it work. The location was good and put us in close proximity (i.e. walking distance) to the French Quarter and the Marigny. Rideshares were also plentiful and affordable. The exterior light didn't work for us (either it was burned out or we were doing something wrong) and it made the uneven front steps and low clearance a bit hazardous, especially with the rain we had. *One thing to note is that the property seems to be shared with tenants, so there there were several unknown people coming back and forth to another unit onsite. It did cause a brief moment of concern early on (about a stranger smoking and hanging out in the courtyard while one of our group was there alone on the first day) before we figured out the situation. We would've appreciated this being communicated either in the listing or directly by the hosts in advance of our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Kit Musgrove

Host profile image
We have made New Orleans our home since 1974. I went to under-grad and grad school at UNO & Tulane. Our 3 kids were born and raised here. We have owned and operated Silk Road Tavern, for over 30 years. We love renovating old properties in historic New Orleans neighborhoods, like Marigny, Treme and the French Quarter. We also enjoy describing the local creole/cajun cuisine, music, architecture culture and charm of Nola, the city we fell in love with at first sight. Kindly wine, dine & recline in our tavern & guest bed & Breakfast .

Why they chose this property

If you are looking for a B&B/Mansion located in the heart of the city, the middle of everything, free parking, plenty of room and space inside and out for all your guest, please look no further than Esplanade Mansion for an overwhelming experience
that we believe everyone is entitled to while visiting NOLA.

What makes this property unique

Besides location, location, location...a block from the French Quarter and the new street-car line, this B&B has spectacular views of Esplanade Avenue, one of the oldest and grandest avenues in New Orleans. 300 hundred year old Oak tress grace the front of this property. You can sit on the swing in the covered porch and see the street-car and people go by in front of you all day and night. The entire property has been renovated, from inside out, since we bought it in 2016. 12 foot ceiling, 300 hundred year old heart-pine floors, marble bathrooms - besides new plumbing, electrical and air-conditioning. We have also planted a tropical garden with over 100 trees and a fountain in 2017. Lovely, home indeed!
