Our New Orleans B&B is your home in the city's Hip Historic Neighborhood: Faubourg Marigny.

Utne magazine ranked our neighborhood as one of the hippest in America. Diverse and a bit bohemian, it's the real New Orleans, filled will a diverse mix of people from all walks of life.  Our historic neighborhood is a scenic stroll or three-minute cab ride away to our better-known neighbor, the French Quarter. We invite you to come stay with us in our historic bed and breakfast, which has been transformed into a live-in work of art.

Our Neighborhood
Our history began in 1805 when the young Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville subdivided his plantation and sold the first plot of ground. What began as a French-speaking suburb soon overflowed with Caribbean free people of color, German immigrants fleeing political oppression, and Irish folks looking for a better way of life.
