    You're greeted with stately columns and regal galleries. Inside, the charm of antebellum New Orleans surrounds you. This grand Greek Revival house of the 1850's exudes both the elegance and decadence of old Creole Louisiana. With soaring 14-foot ceilings and intricate, hand-crafted cypress trim, your room is a respite from the bustle of the street. Some feature 4-poster king beds, others queen and full sized beds. All have private baths. An intimate courtyard invites you to relax in our soothing spa surrounded by tropical greenery and yet you're close to the action. Just six blocks from the French Quarter, a 15 minute stroll to the non-stop energy of Bourbon Street. Fine restaurants, famous jazz clubs and sidewalk cafes are literally a short walk from our front door. Royal Street Courtyard, where you're at home in New Orleans.

    The Royal Street Courtyard is the most beautiful B&B I've ever stayed in. From the moment I walked in Phillip and David made me feel right at home, and their local knowledge is golden. The buildings and surrounds are magnificent. The interiors, impeccable. Just a short stroll into the French Quarter. Couldn't ask for more.

    You'll never want to leave!

    April 23, 2013

    What make this place extraordinary are the owners. From the moment we walked in until the time we left, our hosts made us feel welcome and special. Phillip gave us a house tour, then spent time showing us all the best places to eat and visit, all marked on a map. David is full of information about the town and gives a wonderful history lesson of what life was like in the 1800s when the house was built. It has the look of New Orleans with the balcony and wrought iron railing and the hot tub in the back courtyard is a bonus! Traveling with my 17 year old son, room 12 was perfect for us. It has a sitting room with a futon/bed and TV and a separate bedroom with a pocket door in between. Besides having Wi-Fi available, there is a computer and printer available for guests. Each room has a mini-fridge and there is also a microwave available to all guests. The neighborhood is eclectic and alive with people and we never felt unsafe walking around. Frenchman St. with restaurants and jazz clubs is a short 4 block away and the French Quarters just another few blocks. I could go on and on about this place but the best thing I can say is, "I'll be back."

    A B&B near the jazz clubs and French quarter

    April 21, 2013

    Great location and value if you like to be near some good music and the French quarter all within walking distance. We had a nice room but a bath across hall and would recommend trying to get a in suite bath. Owners were really friendly and helpful on some great eating recommendations. The garden area is great for morning coffee and the place has a great porch and balconies off some rooms.

    Great location; very welcoming hosts

    April 21, 2013

    The Faubourg Marigny neighborhood is a great location to stay in New Orleans- close enough to the action in the French Quarter and also to Frenchmen Street, but far enough away to be quiet, and to experience a real neighborhood. Philip was very welcoming- even as early as my first call with him several months before we arrived. He was very genuine and friendly, and made me look very forward to the visit. We arrived late, so he let us know how to obtain the keys for our room. We were on the second floor; next time, if there's availability (which there wasn't this time), I'd try for one of the rooms with the balconies. The breakfast room provided lots of options for a light breakfast before heading off to other locales. We didn't think of trying breakfast restaurants(as it was a b&B), but were encouraged to do so by Philip. We very much enjoyed the local Cake Cafe, and many of the other recommendations that he graciously wrote down for us on a New Orleans map. His restaurant recommendations were very very helpful, and we enjoyed the restaurants he suggested. David provided some New Orleans history, which was very interesting. We also enjoyed the backyard, with the jacuzzi. It was nice to have 2 separate rooms in our habitation- sitting room and bedroom. The mattress could have used replacing, and it would be great to have a larger bed than the double bed provided. Fantastic location, hosts, and neighborhood. I would stay at Royal Street Courtyard again on another visit to New Orleans.

    Great place to stay

    April 18, 2013

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Not far from Frenchmen Street and some great music, and the French Quarter and some great food. Philip's advice about where to eat was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. Cliff Uney

    Airport

    • New Orleans, LA (MSY) 18 miles

    • Directions to property:
      Directions from New Orleans International Airport: Take I-10 East into New Orleans. Stay in the left most lane and continue onto I-610 East to Slidell. Take exit 3, and turn right onto Elysian Fields. Continue for approximately 2 miles and turn left onto Dauphine Street. Go three blocks to the first stop sign and take a right onto Spain Street. Proceed one block to Royal Street where we are on the corner of Royal and Spain Streets. Parking is free and plentiful and on-street! (Unbelievably, half the taxi drivers at the airport do not know the streets of the French Quarter-- even with a million tourists a month heading there. So be prepared to direct them.) I suggest calling a New Orleans based cab company, United Cab. They sit at a cab stand across the street from the Airport. Call them at (504) 522-9771 and they will drive around and pick you up relatively quickly. They will know the way...
