“A great stay with two Amazing Hosts!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I just returned from a 4 night stay at Antebellum Guest House over the New Year Holiday. The house itself is amazing with so many historical and period peices! Beautiful through and through! Our hosts Keith and Art are SO welcoming! We felt right at home from the time we stepped foot in the door! They are full of interesting stories and good recommendations for food and leisure activities! These guys are A-1 hosts! The breakfasts each morning were delicious! Fresh fruit and pastries followed by a main course of a special New Orleans recipe!

We stayed in the two bedroom suite and loved the comfortable bed and the shared parlor! It was like having our own apartment! The beds were SO comfortable! The courtyard was beautiful, and the hot tub was just what we needed after walking so much! The property is just blocks from all of the action! We had an amazing time, and when we return to New Orleans we will definitelly be back to Antebellum!

Thanks Keith and Art!! You are the best!!

“Couldn't ask for anything more...”

Where do I begin? We stood at Antebellum for 4 night, we rented the double suite room as it was my husband and I along with another couple. The establishment itself it beautiful, very true to the antebellum period. Our room was excellent with a living room and tv, we were also able to control our own temperature. We had a kitchen with a full-size fridge and microwave. The bedrooms were just heavenly, never have I been on vacation and the beds been more comfortable our mattresses at home. First of all let me say the mattresses were so high that I literally had to jump on the bed, they were extremely comfortable, and Keith went the extra step to put a tempurpedic liner on the bed. Keith's attention to detail is impeccable. His breakfast service is to die for. I would recommend this establishment to anyone as both Keith and Art are both very hospitable and open minded. The court yard is awesome!!! I highly recommend as Keith opens his home and heart to his guest....

“No other place to stay in NOLA!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My husband and I spent four days in NOLA, and we couldn't be more pleased with our selection of the Antebellum Guest House.
Keith and Art are amazing hosts. Keith has such a wonderful heart, genuinely kind. He has an amazing knowledge of the city: where to go, what to eat.... When you stay with them, listen to his tips: He knows what he's talking about! Thanks to Keith's advice, we experienced the best parts of our vacation. He knows so much history about the region. To listen to him tell stories about the city is even better than watching a documentary. Although he wasn't around as much, Art's company is fabulous, too! He gets so excited when he tells his stories, you just can't help but get excited listening to him. They're both absolute treasures. They didn't make us feel like a customers. They made us feel like long lost friends.
The food? Everybody's reviews are spot on. I'm a foodie & difficult to impress. The breakfasts I've had the last four mornings are the best I've ever had in my life. They start with a beautiful fruit spread, followed by pastries and end with a grand (rib-stickin') finale. Not only are they delicious & filling, but every dish that was served to us was beautifully, artfully presented. Nothing less than you would expect from an artist....
Our room was great. It has super high ceilings. We chose the Rococo Room because my husband is on the taller side, and I was afraid he wouldn't be comfortable in the smaller bed in the Bordello Room. The bed was firm & the high thread count sheets were just like the ones we have at home: luxurious. The towels are big and fluffy, too.The mattress is firm and sleeps great. It was perfect for the post-breakfast naps. :-) I also liked the location of the Rococo Room because it is the only room which is not on the second floor.
The location of the guest house? Within walking distances of the French Quarter. We parked our vehicle in front (watched by security cameras), and that's where she stayed for the four days. We walked everywhere we wanted to see. Now, I must mention, that the neighborhood on St Bernard that leads up to Esplanade Ave from I-10 is a bit seedy, but don't worry about it! My husband and I never felt threatened on our walks. Most people were friendly and said hello between walks from AGH to the French Quarter.
The beautiful courtyard behind the building has a fabulous hot tub. They supply the robes... Behind the hot tub is a small shed with a refrigerator for your thirst quenching needs... Water & pop for a 50 cents & beer for a buck 50. Very reasonable.
The room was a great value & the hosts are fabulous. You certainly would not regret your choice if you choose to stay here.

“Loved EVERYTHING about this place!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 August 2011

We decided last minute to book a get away to New Orleans for our first wedding anniversary. It happened to be the same weekend as the French Quarter Festival (which is a very good time btw!) so every, single, hotel in N.O. was booked for the whole weekend. Keith happened to have a cancellation for the weekend. We were a little hesitant to stay at a b&b but we are so glad we stayed here! Keith and Art were the most pleasant, accomadating hosts you could ask for! Breakfast was amazing each morning! We showed up very late for our first night there and were able to check out late Sunday afternoon to enjoy the rest of the Festival. We will definitely stay here again! This was the perfect location to spend our first anniversary. Hopefully next time we'll get to hear more of Keith's stories.

“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.
