Degas House

We stayed at the Degas House just this past weekend (Memorial Day Weekend), and had the most wonderful time. The neighborhood, which may appear a little sketchy to those not accustomed to multicultural communities, was fantastic. We felt safe at all times. ||Oddly, there were no other overnight guests, so we had the home to ourselves. That said, the rooms provided extensive privacy. Even if the house was full, we would have been very okay with it. ||The rooms themselves were beautifully decorated. Copies of Degas' work are in all the rooms and halls, as well as lovely furniture, and it is very clean. ||It was listed as a Bed and Breakfast, but they only served breakfast on the weekends. If I were to suggest anything, I would say laying out some breakfast pastries for the guests during the weekdays would be a nice gesture. ||We loved our stay. We will for sure be back. The Staff was over welcoming and very accommodating. David, the owner, knows his Degas history without question, and the two women working for him went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of. Thank you for allowing us into your wonderful home!!

I wish I could rate the Degas House, especially Dave and Adrianne, far beyond five stars. While warm, gracious hospitality is common in New Orleans, what truly set the Degas House apart was the overwhelming love we walked into. Miss Adrianne made my party and me feel genuinely welcomed and cared for from the moment we stepped out of our Uber. The house itself is full of rich history, but it’s the service and intentional care we received during our stay that made this experience unforgettable. The decor in the rooms is stunning, and the attention to detail throughout the house feels both curated and deeply personal. Every space radiates charm, warmth, and purpose. The entire staff helped create a welcoming environment that exceeded every expectation. I truly can’t say enough amazing things about this place. It’s more than a stay, it’s an experience filled with heart.

We’ve photographed several weddings at Degas House and it never disappoints. It’s got that perfect blend of historic charm and NOLA romance. The courtyard always makes for a dreamy ceremony spot, especially in the evening, and the whole venue feels intimate without being cramped. The team is great to work with and knows how to keep the day moving while still letting couples enjoy every moment. Highly recommend if you’re after a venue with real character and a timeless vibe.

Cant say enough positive things about our entire wedding experience at the Degas House back in March. Our wedding day was truly special. We rented both houses out for the entire weekend and got married Saturday night. Admittedly, we had a couple issues with the house/rooms themselves(i.e. a couple of the AC units in the rooms were out on arrival), However staff worked very quickly in restoring and fixing these issues which we really appreciated. Ali, Mickey and David the owner were all so friendly, helpful and were all very passionate about making our day special. The bar service, including the manager Alvin was awesome. Everyone involved worked tirelessly to make sure everything came to fruition which it did. The wedding itself was beautiful under the lights in the patio, and the reception was even better. Highly recommend Degas House for your Wedding.

If there are any impressionists, poets, composers, child prodigies, pianoteurs, romantic comedy writers, or silent actors left in the world, the Degas House is the place for you. Balzac would find a garret to escape his debt collectors and mistresses. I come here to write and relax. A European experience like none other. The curator and his staff were splendid. ||Allen Emerson

We simply loved seeing all of the original artwork and paintings!!! We loved the birds every day and water fountain. The chandeliers are magnificent.

Worst experience I’ve ever had with a hotel. I booked it with hotels.com and then day of arrival was told that I hadn’t paid even though hotels listed the room as paid and I had two payments from hotels.com on my credit card. Turns out those were only authorizations and I hadn’t paid. Then after going back and forth with hotels.com and the staff the staff offered to charge me just for the time I stayed (I had to arrive a day late and leave a day early) only to have them backtrack and say they had to charge me the full amount. Till this point I wasn’t upset with them as this was hotels.com fault. Then when I sent them my credit card they overcharged me $56 and said it was a “processing fee”. After all this trouble and stress, non of which was my fault, they sneak in a processing fee. Thanks for ruining what would have been a special memory for my son and me seeing our favorite band at Jazz Fest. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Degas House was great. Late check-in and late check-out couldn't have been easier and I got a surprise upgrade. Period rooms were gorgeous, and the hit of my stay was breakfast with Akira. Best shrimp and grits I have ever had--fluffy grits and perfectly cooked shrimp. A few details to spruce up, a little dusty corner and a coverlet as an extra blanket, but the location could not be beat (fab coffee shop down the way, a great stroll to the quarter down Esplanade) and so nice to stay in a place with character rather than a drab hotel room. Three thumbs up.
