Our stay at the Magnolia Mansion was very pleasant. It was like a calm quiet oasis in the bustle of New Orleans. What was a very pleasant surprise was just how quiet it was, both the neighborhood and the other guests. The room was very comfortable and clean. We would definitely consider returning to the Mansion.
Good locale, fab host, decent digs

This is an authentic mansion, high ceilings, grand parlor and ballroom, and creaky stairs. The theme rooms are fun and the upstair rooms are just as cool as the pricey downstairs rooms. The host is fabulous and full of information for your stay. If you are looking for high end digs this is not the place; if you want an authentic stay in a old mansion home, this is it. A bit overpriced, but in a good location for NOLA.

My wife and I spent our first weekend together away from our son in almost 3 years. We had a great time exploring the city, but enjoyed returning at the end of the day to the Magnolia Mansion. Tim our host was always around to help with whatever we needed, from a map of a parade route, to great reservations at the Commanders Palace, to a bottle of soap for the huge in room tub. Everything was perfect.
