Great location for a busy weekend in the Quarter

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very well thought out and the host was very accommodating to our flight schedule! A note for future guests if you are staying on a weekend, there is a sound machine in the room and you will definitely want to use it! The traffic from Frenchman Street and Deactur is very loud. We expected this going into the trip on a parade weekend so it did not afftect our overall experience.

Perfect in every way!

Our stay was incredible - the Lanaux Mansion is in a perfect location and our room was beautiful. The balcony, the 14 foot ceilings, the furniture and decor…everything was amazing. My sister and I were here to see Taylor Swift but wanted to make the most out of a trip to NOLA so decided to stay several nights. We are so glad we chose to stay here and weren’t in a rush to get back home! We will 100% be back if we ever return to New Orleans (which we plan to). We were truly blown away by how flawless everything on this trip was. Thank you, Beth, for hosting us!

FABULOUS

Beautiful room and upscale furnishings! … and location…location…location!!! Perfect for anywhere I wanted to go. Balcony was huge and fun to people watch from and listen to outdoor music down the street. The jasmine was blooming sending their sweet smell with the breeze that was often blowing keeping the balcony (and room) cool. The kitchen was a great bonus stocked with breakfast items. Wish I could have just moved in! I look forward to returning :))

Amazing location!

My mom and I came for a mother/daughter trip to NOLA and had a wonderful stay at this amazing historical mansion! The host made it easy for us to leave our luggage in the lobby area both when we arrived and after check out to accommodate our flight times. Ruthie’s balcony suite was spacious, well decorated and comfortable! Both the French quarter and Frenchman street were easily walkable from this location. We had a great trip and would definitely stay at this place again in the future!

Step back in time

You feel like you have stepped into the historical south when you stay in this beautiful home. Beth wowed us with 15 foot ceilings in a suite with a lovely conversation area, a spacious bathroom with plenty of storage for all our trappings, and a well stocked kitchen. But coffee on the balcony in the morning and cocktails in the shaded courtyard put it over the top for luxury. We were surrounded by opportunities for entertainment and resources for provisions. The French Quarter was in easy walking distance and we were surrounded by jazz venues. We will be back!

Great historical stay

Everyone on the street was interested in the fact that this building was a rental. The tours stopped right out front. The location was close enough to Jackson Square and Bourbon Street but not right in the mix which is what we perferred. The walk was doable even if a tad sketchy at times since the location was on the edge of the French quarter. The interior was beautiful and comfortable. The only downside was parking. We had to pay for extended parking in a lot four blocks aways and drag our bags to the building. A dedicated loading spot could prevent this issue in the future. Overall it was 5 stars. Thank you.

Ruth’s Suite is a lovely room!

We loved the location of The Lanaux Mansion! Perfect for walking to the French Quarter! My only disappointment was that the first floor rooms were all locked so we didn’t get to see any of the house, other than our room and the front entry.

Great Place to Stay

Rooms were great (we stayed in 2 separate apartments and loved them both!). We weren't able to reserve the same room for our entire stay, Beth made the transition work smoothly. The mansion's location on Esplanade is perfect for visiting the French Quarter and Frenchmen's Street. Also, only 2 blocks to the streetcar.

Very fancy mansion in a prime location

Walking into this place for the first time was like traveling back in time. All the decorations and wall paper were amazing! The room was very impressive with high ceilings and a very cool balcony. It was definitely a room that felt luxurious and comfortable. Everything we wanted to see in the French Quarter and on Frenchman was extremely walkable! Overall the location is very pedestrian friendly. We would absolutely stay there again!

Charming and comfortable stay

My sister and I stayed in Ruthy’s suite for a sister trip/her 40th birthday. Andrea the property manager was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The suite is so calm and comfortable, lots of lovely details (and cold AC!) which is necessary in June. The amenities were all as advertised and in great condition. We appreciated the earplugs, as street traffic was louder than expected - late night music/hotrodding down Esplanade was somewhat loud. We were still comfortable and able to sleep. Thank you!

The unfortunate end of a double booking

Alas, was excited to stay but checked in and there was a snafu and another party was unpacking as I arrived. The on-site manager felt badly and offered a night out but in the end we had to move to a hotel on the other side of the Quarter for our 5 night stay. Sad face. Quick refund though and would be willing to try again. Great location and nicely tended lobby (as far as I got).

Amazing place to stay!

We can't say enough great things about this place! It's a beautiful house. We stayed in Ruthie's Balcony. We loved sitting out on the balcony at night, enjoying the faint music you could hear from the French Quarter. Close enough to everything that a short walk will get you almost anywhere you want to go, but far enough away to be able to sleep just fine. Need a place to stay in New Orleans? STAY HERE!

Paradise on Esplanade

We cannot say enough about how wonderful the entire Lanaux Mansion experience was. From the charming and helpful host, Beth B, to the grandeur of the property, to the sublime balcony we loved everything. We are veteran lovers of NOLA and have visited many times but this is the first time where our encampment became an integral part of the NOLA experience. We rushed through our tours through the city to spend more time in our apartment! We cannot wait to return.

We Loved It Here

This was our 1st time in New Orleans so the mansion & it's location was perfect. I thought the balcony was so nice to sit out on @ night and catch a nice breeze. The sounds of bourbon street were enough to know where you were but faint enough to enjoy a good night's sleep. The couch is surprisingly comfy to sleep on. The bathroom & kitchen are just enough. We loved everything about this place! No complaints at all!

Location was good

I chose this property because I needed a king size bed. The unit was listed as having a king-size bed and a pull-out sofa. It had neither! Upon arrival we have problems getting into our unit as the systems were quoted incorrectly. I called the property manager and things were straightened out rather quickly. We walked into the unit and found ear plugs on the table on both sides of the queen size bed. Yes, they were needed! The people in the unit next to us were loud and there was a lot of noise from the Street. People, cars and air traffic. I was glad I only booked it for three nights. We made the best of it and enjoyed our time there.
