  • Inn Details

    This 1879 Victorian Mansion, located in the New Orleans French Quarter area, was selected by Forbes Magazine as one of “the country’s best B&Bs.” Enjoy the mansion's unique historic charm as you experience undisturbed privacy in the old world atmosphere of your room or suite, or relax in the peaceful, colorful Victorian Garden. The Lanaux Mansion has been featured on film & TV and in magazines; it was the setting for Brad Pitt in the movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." Across the street is the French Quarter, with endless entertainment including art galleries on Royal Street and more. Around the corner, big name musicians perform nightly at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro. World-class cuisine and several dining choices are a stroll away.

    We were welcomed and shown to our lovely room with a view of the gardens by Ruth. She gave us a few hints about the area and then we didn't see her again....which was fine for us. It made us feel as though we were in our own home enjoying the city. The cleaning was imaculate and the bed comfortable. She had music selections and magizines that highlighted NOLA well. The only thing I would improve upon was the breakfast. We were there for 3 mornings and each morning was the same...OJ, Coffee with milk (not cream) and the same flavored crossaints. In this price range you usually expect something better or at least different each day for breakfast. The rolls were even a bit stale after sitting in the fridge for most of a day before we got to them. It is not enough to avoid this B&B-but Ruth you asked where improvements could be made....With a more varied Breakfast you would have my perfect score.

    "Perfect" covers it!

    The worth-every-penny cottage was the perfect, private, quiet location for our visit. Ruth is so friendly and helpful and the cottage was expertly cleaned and restocked by Iris every day. With the French Quarter on one side and Frenchmen Street on the other, there couldn't have been a better location for us. We can't wait to come back!

    We just returned from a weekend getaway at Lanaux Mansion. We stayed in the Enchanted Cottage and it was VERY clean and well stocked with anything you would need for your stay. Ruth was extremely gracious and went out of her way to make sure our stay was wonderful! She set us up with a reservation at Irene's Italian restaurant and the only word to describe the place would be outstanding!! We highly recommend Lanaux Mansion the next time you're in New Orleans!!

    Absolutely worth every penny and more!!!!!

    Lanaux Mansion exceeded my expectations and more. Ms. Ruth was a doll and there to greet us when we arrive. I would definitely stay here again. Well worth the price and more.

    We had an amazing weekend here at Lanaux Mansion! Ruth was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. Her recommendations for dining and local services were greatly appreciated. We stayed in her cottage house which was very quiet and clean. The location was exactly what we were looking for, French quarter dining and the jazz on Frenchman st. We look forward to staying with her again!
