Upon arrival we were greeted by the new owner and welcomed to the Madi Gras suite. It is every bit as nice as described by the many positive reports here. The space in back with cabana and pool was also a pleasant place to be. The neighborhood, as well as the entire Bywater area, felt safe and a convenient base... More

A friend and I stayed here mid-April and really liked it. It is comprised of four rooms at the back of a "double" house (private residence in front), each with a different theme. We had the lovely "Bollywood" room, which had one of the most gorgeous bathrooms ever. Our room opened onto the beautiful back yard, with its pool and... More

I found this Inn to be highly unprofessional. I'm a local and I was negotiating to book the entire Inn for an event a the end of the Spring. I had specifically stated in my email, that I "wanted to book Friday and Saturday nights for certain". I toured the location on Sunday, promptly got sick with the flu, and... More

Where do I start? The Lookout Inn was perfect for our group's weekend getaway. From the intial contact about booking, up until departure to come home, the experience was enjoyable, All four of the suites were clean, quiet and felt like home. We even got our money's worth from usage of the pool alone. Nothing could have been better after... More

Everytime I visit New Orleans, I try to stay at this beautiful Inn. The room are spacious like suites, each one is unique. The bathrooms are huge with claw foot tubs. The owners are great and give you privacy. The backyard is like a tropical oasis with a lovely pool, flower beds, and a cabana bar. The neighborhood is colorful... More

My husband and I stayed here this weekend for our one year anniversary. Despite living in New Orleans for some time, we rarely ever make it to the Bywater, but I'm so glad we did! We stayed in the Elvis suite. First thing my husband says when he walks in? "Oh my god! This place is awesome! The walls are... More

My family of 3 stayed at the inn for four days. The pool and landscaping were stunning and the room was comfortable. However, we will never stay at the Lookout Inn again and I'm going to tell you why: 1. On the day we checked in, Chris called me on my phone and told me where to find the key... More

Just returned from staying in "The Elvis Suite" at the Lookout Inn. It was impossible not to smile while in the Elvis room.. the decor is spot on and very funky cool. I enjoyed the room quite a bit.. the bathroom was cool and unique.. loved the tub. The shower head didn't work, but I didn't really care. Never heard... More

I almost don't want to write this review. I want the Lookout to be available every time I come to New Orleans now on! The Lookout Inn is a quaint home divided into several guest suites. There is a large courtyard with a landscaped swimming pool, hot tub, relaxation area and cabana. When we stayed, our group stayed in three... More

I cannot recommend the Lookout Inn enough. As soon as we pulled up to the property, it exceeded our expectations. The house is beautiful and surrounded by lovely, well-kept gardens. When we opened the door to the Mardi Gras suite, we literally gasped at how lovely it was. The bathroom with it's sofa and clawfoot tub was particularly gorgeous. Outside,... More
