Fairchild House Bed and Breakfast

    One of New Orleans architectural treasures, Fairchild House was established in 1991 in the 1841 Greek Revival home and two adjacent guesthouses. Situated among the picturesque oaks of the Lower Garden District, the bed and breakfast is located seventeen blocks from the French Quarter and twelve blocks from the Convention Center. The nine rooms of Fairchild House, each with private bath/shower, are decorated in an elegant antique setting, evoking the Victorian period.

    Nothing fancy -- just a couple of really cool OLD houses at the N.E. edge of the Garden District, right near the Warehouse District. 2 blocks to St. Charles streetcar; ~8 block walk to convention center (or $5 cab). Very easy to get to the Quarter via streetcar. The owners are wonderful, and the continental breakfast seals the deal.

    I had a wonderful experience at Fairchild bed n breakfast. The hostess was especially kind, honest, individual and I'll definitely return here when I make another visit to Nola

    Fairchild House is a great old house and staying there reminded me of visiting old friends for a couple of days. It was quiet, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Loved how close it was to the streetcar line. This would be a great place to stay for Mardi Gras. I would definitely come back to the Fairchild House and the price can't be beat.

    This was my second stay, and I think my room this time was even prettier--lighter and lacier!
