“Unique New Orleans experience - outstanding!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2011

We have now stayed at the Antebellum Guest House 3 times and each time has been a really great experience. Keith and Art are the perfect hosts - the house is of outstanding architectural and decorative interested (its crammed full of antiques and 'objects d'art') - the breakfasts generally last over an hour due to the number and variety of courses and the enjoyable breakfast conversations with the other guests and the hosts - the location in a grand house on Esplanade avenue is excellent (both for the French Quarter and other areas such as Frenchman Street) - the courtyard garden with jaccuzi is great for relaxing in - and the cost is very reasonable for such pleasant accomodation.

“The Best Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2011

The linens were crisp, clean and so fresh that we asked the secret to their laundry success. Keith is one of the finest Bed and Breakfast cooks I've ever known. What a pleasure this trip was for us! Thanks Art and Keith!

“Very romantic, stunning atmosphere, and friendly/helpful owner(s)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

I don't even know where to start with this review, everything was so fantastic!

While there are two owners, Keith seems to be in charge of all the front end stuff and is incredibly kind and helpful both around the property, and in helping advise on things to do in the city.

The whole building is decorated with beautiful antique furniture from the 1800's making it feels like you've just stepped back in time. The real kicker was the bed in our room (the Bordello Suite) which was an antique piece rescued from what must have been one of the classiest brothels in all of Storyville!

Perhaps the best part of our stay were Keith's fantastic and authentic breakfasts he served each morning. The food was just fantastic and we were amazed at the amount of time and dedication Kieth put into each meal.

The location is also ideal since it's easily walking distance from the French Quarter, while leaving you far enough away from the late night craziness that you can sleep in peace and quiet.

I am still amazed this place doesn't charge more for these rooms. Everything about our experience was superb and you should not even give it a second thought if you are thinking about making a reservation.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011

The B&B industry needs more people like Keith and Art. The house has a good story, attention to detail and you can't find better people. Breakfast is highly recommended and a great time to catch up on what's going on and politics in general. Just go!

“Like being the lady of the manor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2011

Over the years I've stayed at many B&B's and this is ABSOLUTELY the most wonderful. Keith and Art made sure we were comfy and well taken care of. Breakfast was lovely. Most folks only use their silver on special occasion, but every breakfast is special @ The Antebellum.
Location is perfect.
Ask about their Katrina survival story. Amazing. They are just wonderful, quality people sharing their love of the historical and cultural treasure that is New Orleans.
Honestly, I can't imagine staying anywhere else next time I go back

Thank you, guys,
RHO
