1870 Banana Courtyard French Quarter
-
In the 1920s, you could have followed the banana truck to Banana Courtyard. Now, you don't need a car, as it's a quick walk to everywhere in the French Quarter. When you get here, you'll find that the dining room and gallery seating area are the Winter heart of the B&B, Summer it's the COURTYARD, hammock, swing on verandah. Guests say, "I've never seen SO MUCH STUFF" - a banana mural, a sea turtle shell made into a light (don't blame us, done in '20s before they become an endangered species), a stuffed peacock (used in a movie set, so blame them). Elsewhere in the B&B: antique &vintage doll collection, art, lots of interesting "stuff" (collectibles, books, antique cameras, vintage Mah Jong set) +loads of information on the French Quarter. Ask us to share with you the story behind and TV short done on our "Painted Lady" tapestry. If you're VERY lucky, you might get a BALCONY room.
Sip a drink and kick back in our tropical courtyard. Or enjoy reclining in the double hammock after a day of walking in the French Quarter.
HEXAGON ROOM: In 18002 house was a bordello & this was one of the double parlours where ‘ladies of the evening’ reclined on chaise lounges, waiting for their ‘beaux’. (Yessiree folks, our place was a "high class" house of prostitution.) "Like walking into a move set", stunningly decorated with gorgeous ANTIQUES, ceiling fan, antique dressing table, devan, chest. On cold Winter nights, warm your ‘tootsies’ near the gas logs &marble fireplace. Private, huge GWtW bathroom adjoins (old fashioned pedestal tub with shower. When you come to the BIG EASY you'll want to relax &sip on your favorite drink in our tropical courtyard. Kick back in a hammock, nap under the shade of a banana tree, brought from Cuba in 1959. OR, on the verandah, hop on the porch swing. After a long day sightseeing, take the opportunity to share adventures with other guests. OR, if you seek a more secluded, romantic weekend, ask about our Balcony Room with whirlpool tub +private balconette.
Yep. Everyone asks about the dark "blob' around this photo. It's the door around the large, custom designed, stained glass window with a banana tree scene that echos the carpet's motif in our front hall and the huge banana tree mural painted on the wall in the dining room. Walk out into our tropical courtyard or on our verandah, and enjoy the shade under the REAL banana trees brought from Cuba in the late 50's, just before the revolution. Unless we have a rough Winter freeze, from April through December we can serve guests bananas from our trees.
BALCONY ROOM: This Jr. suite is perfect for honeymoon or romantic weekend. Soaring cathedral ceiling, entrance BALCONY w/table &chairs overlooks tropical COURTYARD, private Balconette off bedroom overlooks French Quarter. Spacious room with sofabed in the seating area, an eclectic mix of antiques +"new fangled" stuff like an electric fireplace, whirlpool tub w/shower, kitchenette.
Cannonball Room: Many returning guests ask for this stunning room every time they come back (it was part of the double parlour when house was a BORDELLO to society's elite in late 1800s). Room OOZES history - hand-hewn bed was wedding present to our family in 1830 (we'll tell you the story behind the 1850s trundle bed underneath). Huge Indian Pichwais painting above marble mantel. Floor to ceiling windows and massive pocket doors, elaborately painted plaster medallion, sitting area. NOPE. You don't have to make a RUNNING JUMP to get into that high bed, 'cause we have a special wood step stool for y'all to use. All that 'new fangled' stuff like ceiling fan, Cable TV, phone, hair dryer, private ensuite bathroom with shower + there's also a powder room in the hall.
Yep. Our Continental breakfast is SERVED in the dining room -- we don't beleive in using paper plates and paper napkins. We try to make it an inviting place for guests to gather to exchange ideas about what they've done and seen, or just to get acquainted. Many a romance has blossomed in this historic room where the drinks were served and money collected in the BORDELLO days.
You never know what you'll see at Banana Courtyard or in the French Quarter!!!! Relaxed atmosphere, HIGH CEILINGS, lush tropical courtyard, hammock, porch swing on the verandah, HARDWOOD FLOORS. In the late 1800s, house was a BORDELLO serving society's elite. Earlier, it was home of a rival to VOODOO Queen Marie Laveau. All that +Chinese FENG SHUI, native craftsmen who were "Free men of Color," meld into an eclectic, interesting history of the house. Learn more when you stay with us.
"Eye candy," is what one guest called it. There is so much stuff to look at, you won't believe it possible. And this is just the beginning!
Yessiree. Folks say it's like walking into a movie set when they even see just a teeny part of the HEXAGON ROOM. In late 1800s, when house was a bordello, 'ladies of the evening’ reclined on chaise lounges, waiting for their ‘beaux’. (Yep, our place WAS a "high class" house of prostitution.) Stunningly decorated with gorgeous ANTIQUES, on cold Winter nights, warm your ‘tootsies’ near the gas logs &marble fireplace. Private, huge GWtW bathroom adjoins (old fashioned tub with shower)+ there's a powder room in hall. When you come to the BIG EASY you'll want to relax &sip on your favorite drink in our tropical courtyard. Kick back in a hammock, nap under the shade of a banana tree, brought from Cuba in 1959. OR, on the verandah, hop on the porch swing. After a long day sightseeing, take the opportunity to share adventures with other guests. OR, if you seek a more secluded, romantic weekend, ask about our junior suite with whirlpool tub +private balconette.
Most of the year, our courtyard is kind of 'jungly' A nice place to sip on a cup of coffee in the morning after breakfast, or a glass of wine early evening before you hit the clubs.
Oops. Well we moved this bed to the Madame's Steamboat Room, and now the Hexagon Room has a King size bed, but this old photo gives you an idea of how stunning the pokcet doors are in the Hexagon Room.
Madame's Steamboat Room. Steeped in history, this was the madame's bedroom. Hardwood floors, antique carved bed, fireplace, +all that 'new fangled stuff' like hair dryer, ceiling fans, Cable TV, phone. There's even an antique chamber pot tucked in the corner (Nope. Not to use, just to remind you of a different era.) Ensuite private bathroom, old fashioned clawfoot tub with shower.
Carriage/Quilt Room: In the late 1800s and early 1900s, prostitution was legal, so there were lots of houses with a 'checkered' past. MADAMEs that were wealthy enough, had a seperate 'boudoir' (That's a fancy word for dressing room). We've created a special environment in this accommodation with private bathroom, hardwood floors, antique bed, marble top chest, dressing table. Enjoy the handmade heirloom quilts on the wall.
In case you're "into" history &architecture, ours is one of the 1st Creole side-hall cottages. In the late 1800s, house was a BORDELLO serving society's elite. Our interior architecture was influenced by the Chinese workmen +their practice of FENG SHUI (we'll tell you the story behind our staircase). "Free men of color" craftsmen helped create our bullseye friezes, elaborate, hand painted ceiling medallions, cypress millwork. HIGH CEILINGS, hardwood floors, Fleur de Lis fence, fish scale shingles, help you recall a bygone era. Don't let this picture make you think we're all "fancy" here. We offer a very laid back environment amidst a lot of the "fru fru" of the past. Guests say they've never seen so much "stuff."
I tried to upload the whole photo, but didn't work. Original photo was from dining room table looking up at chandelier with whirring ceiling fan blades on either side. Oh well. At least it's 1/2 interesting.
Signs aren't allowed on historic homes in N'Awlins, so this is what you'll see, instead, when you pull up to the B&B.
The Hexagon Room: Guests say, "It's like walking into a movie set." Antiques, art, sitting area, dressing table. This room was part of the double parlour when house was a BORDELLO to society's elite in late 1800s. Marble fireplace w/gas logs, hardwood floors, HIGH CEILINGS, floor to ceiling pocket doors elegantly draped with fabric. Huge GWtW bathroom with old fashioned bathtub adjoins.

3.4 out of 5Banana Courtyard
May 09, 2013
We had a pleasant stay for 2 nights at the Banana Courtyard while in New Orleans for jazz fest. Mary and her husband are delightful and took the time to sit us down and give a thorough overview of the area and restaurants and even offered to walk us to the French Quarter to show us around. They had a great list of restaurants and reviews that I took notes from and found very helpful. The location, while not in the French Quarter, was more than accessible to everything and I actually appreciated being on the outskirts. I would stay again and recommend this place to others who are looking to get outside of the box a bit.

We stayed here for one night passing thru NOLA. The location was great, enabling us to walk the mile or so to attractions. Locked parking lot was a key for us in deciding to stay here. Hosts provided a lot of information. Wish we had known, however, to skip Bourbon St, and go to Frenchman St.

April 02, 2013
What a fun and funky place, including location, management, and facilities -- the Pirate's Attic and Banana Courtyard. Our stay could not have been better, and we met other very nice people for breakfast in a museum-quality dining room. High ceilings with hot orange muffins, Louisiana strawberries, and coffee with chicory; yum. And just around the corner, Buffa's, established 1939 and still serving one of the best burgers ever -- along with great music from LastChanceSaloon memorial. . . Oh, yes.
4.6 out of 5Would highly recommend this place :)
March 22, 2013
We were immediately greeted by the owner who was very friendly, courteous, and helpful. Stayed in the balcony room which was very tidy and you could tell they had recently made some renovations. The main house had some amazing decorating details as did each room within. Very home like feel. Thrilled with our stay!!! Would reccomend spending the extra for the chocolate covered strawberries as we did. Hand made by the owner Mary and hand delivered to our room they were delicious. Mary has also assembled some guides for her guests that were very helpful. The highlighted map was indispensable, as we used it from the moment we got there and to the help us find our way back to the interstate on the way home. I would LOVE to go back anytime I visit New Orleans :)
5 out of 5A Wonderful Place to Stay

On the edge of the quarter, this b&b is "quirky in a good way". Very nice owners and good value for money. I will stay again.
