Location, beauty, hospitality, history... Lanaux Mansion was this and so much more. Ruth has lovingly restored this historical home and creates an environment of serenity, peace, and beauty, which my husband and I enjoyed even more than the short walks to world class restaurants and French Quarter history. We walked short distances to hear jazz in clubs at night too.... More

We have stayed at many B&B in New Orleans and this ill have to say was one of the best! Ruth takes such pride in her beautiful home and it shows in every detail. She was the best hostess we have ever had! She was very nice, knowledgeable and keeps her home emmaculate. We stayed in the Lanaux room which... More

This marvelously restored mansion is a labor of love. Ruth has a perfect sense of style. Ruth was a delight/ The location could not be better, on the border of the Quarter and the Marigny. You can walk to Frenchmen St. for music at night and into the quarter for sight seeing during the day. Because of the lack of... More

Just far enough away to be peaceful, but merely a block or two away from Frenchman and Bourbon streets, te French market and a short bike ride from the French Quarter and all the great downtown parks. The rooms are gorgeous and Ruth was a great host!

My wife spent 3 days here prior to a cruise on Feb. 7th. Ruth is one of the most charming women we've ever met. We stayed in the cottage which was very comfortable. Private access to and from the property was helpful when strolling to the French Market or Bourbon St. both about 2 blocks in opposite directions. Everything in... More

This was our first trip to New Orleans and we found this B&B on a competing website. We had hoped to stay here the entire length of our vacation but since we booked on short notice, we were only able to stay here two nights. We spent the first night at the Waldorf Astoria on the other side of the... More

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. We live close by and visit the city often, and I would have to say that the location is perfect. It's far enough from the noise you get in other areas of the quarter, but close enough to walk anywhere. The Lanaux suite was beautiful and spacious. The owner Ruth... More

Staying at Lanaux Mansion was like stepping into a little space of serenity and beauty and hospitality. After a day on the town in New Orleans, my friends and I would return and feel an ease come over us. The rooms are beautifully decorated and just unique, the courtyard was lovely to sit in and hear New Orleans all around.... More

I can not say enough amazing things about this place. The mansion was conveniently close to everything in the French Quarter. You could walk to any of the major streets, restaurants and sights. My husband and I stayed in the "enchanted cottage" for 3 nights. The room was quaint, quiet, clean and very private. Our favorite thing to do every... More
