The Lanaux Mansion

A quick getaway before Christmas 2025. Location was just a few blocks from the French Quarter, easy walking distance. Beautiful ambience, helpful and accommodating host. I had the room with a balcony which was wonderful for evening wine and morning coffee. There is also with this room, a small kitchen for your convenience. You do have to climb stairs so this is not for the mobility impaired. The host gives detailed and exact directions/ instructions for those who have never been to the area, like me. It's a great getaway.

My wife and I stayed in Ruthie's Balcony for our 21st Anniversary and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Easy walking distance to the French Quarter, beautiful views of Esplanade off the large private balcony, and a spacious, well-furnished room made this the perfect getaway spot. Contactless check-in/check-out was super easy and the staff was proactive and easy to reach before, during, and after our stay - not that we needed much because everything was already well set. Thanks for a great stay. We'll definitely be back.

The Lanaux Mansion is an excellent choice for lodging in New Orleans. We stayed in Beth's Escape with Courtyard and Balcony. The suite had a roomy living area with fold out couch and plenty of seating. There was a separate bedroom with queen bed in between the living area and kitchen. The comfortable bathroom was attached to bedroom, plenty of towels. Good pressure in the shower. Kitchen had an eating nook and access to balcony. Everything was clean, cute and stocked. Gated entry with lock from street along with another locked entry into building prior to locked entry to suite. We felt safe and we loved the location! Walkable everywhere you want to be but not too noisy at night.

Perfect location near French Market, Frenchman' Street with live Jazz Music, Streetcars, Jackson Square, Bourbon St. Room had all the comforts of home..plates, bowls, Silverware, dish towels, Soaps, Toaster, Coffee Marker, Washet/ Dryer, Bath towels, shampoo/ conditioner, body wash, more...Even a small detail like Salt/Pepper shakers! The High Ceilings and blown glass lightening was gorgeous! Hard wood flooring. Bed was very comfortable and slept well during our 5 day stay. The Continental Breakfast was perfect for us. Orange Juice, Milk, Oatmeal, Cinnamon Bars, Yougut, ice in freezer with filtered water. Loved everything about our stay!

Stayed at the Wieland Suite. Private entrance through the back garden area (Super cute and wish we took advantage of that more). The room and space was grand and beautiful, the bed was super comfy.The location was beyond perfect.We were able to walk mostly everywhere we wanted in the French Quarter. The French market was only 2/3 blocks away and then we easily walked Bourbon street. Overall such a great hotel and we will be back!

We stayed at Laneaux Mansion using a gift certificate from an event, and sadly, it was a very disappointing experience. We were assigned Beth’s Escape, which was a small room in the back. It was dark, dusty, and musty—not at all the charming stay we had hoped for. As locals, we wanted to see if this would be a place to recommend to future guests, but unfortunately, it fell far short. While communication with the host was fine, there was no one on-site to assist with anything. Everything was handled by remote check-in, which made the place feel impersonal and disconnected. The mansion itself has been chopped into apartments, losing the historic charm and beauty we remembered from visiting during the estate sale years ago. What we found instead was Lowe’s-style furniture, Costco yogurt, sour milk, a quarter-filled water bottle, and cheap orange juice—all in a room that rents for around $400 a night. It didn’t feel locally run or cared for in a way that reflects true New Orleans hospitality. Sadly, we would not stay again and cannot recommend it to others.

The place was lovely and the location was very convenient. Andrea and Jackie were amazing. Only drawback for our particular group was the spiral staircase to the second and third floor bedroom. Overall WE had a great stay!

I was drawn by the pics, but fell in love with the cottage in person. The bed was so comfortable and had a good night’s rest each night. I loved having a full size fridge and stove that came with a continental breakfast. The host thought of everything. The host was available by phone and guided me to where to locate amenities in the main house when I needed it. Super convenient to the nightlife. Just be sure to reserve parking when you book. There’s residential zoning which means finding off street parking if you don’t. I will definitely stay again and again.

We had a wonderful stay with our documentary crew and their friends and family. We chose Lanaux Mansion as the place to celebrate the end of our documentary's three month journey where we followed a kayaker from Lansing, NC all the way to the Gulf. Since she was finishing her journey near New Orleans, we chose Lanaux as the place to not only stay but hold our celebration dinner, and we couldn't have been more pleased. The accommodations were GORGEOUS and right in the heart of the New Orleans action. They also hosted our celebration dinner, and the service and food was extraordinary. We were all blown away by their hospitality, and we couldn't recommend Lanaux Mansion enough! :)
