One of a Kind!
With eleven phenomenal Corinthian columns, this property is one of New Orleans most photographed and treasured historic Garden District Antebellum homes (built in 1857-58). Due to the historic value of the property to the city and owners, Magnolia Mansion is a strict non-smoking Bed and Breakfast venue, but smoking on the outside veranda is permitted.
Eight Massive Oak Trees frame the Mansion and the beautifully landscaped courtyards and grounds, while the air is perfumed by the scent of Magnolia Trees, Gardenias, and Jasmine. From the moment you enter the spectacular hall of this raised Greek-revival Mansion, and are greeted by larger-than-life sculptures of Eros and Aphrodite, the Greek Deities of Love, you realize fantasies can come true. Our resident ghost (host) will greet you in the dining-room each morning with a hot cup of coffee and free continental breakfast. Indulge yourself each evening by lounging in any of the 3 magnificent parlors, also available for weddings and gala events. Your fantasy awaits you.

Experience the grandeur of antebellum New Orleans. Sit or mingle beneath magnificent crystal chandeliers, surrounded by luxurious antique furniture and tranquil elegance, as you sip a refreshing beverage. Or, enjoy lingering for hours on the immense wrap around veranda or in our Pardi Gras Courtyard with other guests, or a good book.
Wanting a comfortable, memorable, and SPIRITED place in New Orleans? Whether it`s an overnight stay you require, or seek an impressive and unique venue for a wedding, reception, corporate cocktail party, extravagant event, or a Ghostly Gala, Magnolia Mansion is ``Simply The Best``.

"Great Trip! I highly advise staying in 'The Garden District' when going to New Orleans. Lots to do in that area. A one block walk to the St. Charles Trolley car for a trip to Downtown or uptown.

the Mansion is a very nice place, very safe and quiet. Much more that a hotel room. The staff was very nice, breakfast was of the quick on the go variety which was perfect for us.

Got to meet the owner who is very much in charge of keeping the place nice.

Can't wait to go back!"

BookIt.com Verified Traveler Happy Guest from New Orleans, Louisiana

"Magnolia Mansion is the best kept secret in New Orleans. It is in a great location, free parking, and the rooms are very well-kept. There are a lot of food, drinks, and shopping establishments in walking distance. The Eiffel nightclub and the railcar are so close you can throw a rock at them. The manager was great and my room was vintage. Throw in a decent Continental Breakfast and extra tight security, I would recommend this place over and over again. When i come back, this is a must. WORTH EVERY PENNY. "

"The hotel is a beautiful building that takes you back in time and offers a life of luxury. We enjoyed our stay though when we arrived and were greeted by a woman I was not sure we made the right choice. Her attitude made us both very uneasy and felt that we were being scolded as children before breaking any of her rules. On the other hand we understood why the rules are in place. "

Mila from Gaithersburg, Md

"Was impressed by the main level of the mansion. The mardi gras room was a decent size and would be perfect for a family b/c it came with two mini beds. The cable was inconsistent, the tv was from the 90's, the bathroom was a nice size, the queen bed was okay. They came in to make your bed but would not throw away obvious trash. The toiletries were nice and replenished every day. Breakfast was okay. Nice feature was having a water dispenser in the breakfast area. I would like to recommend but think for the price, the room could have been more elaborately decorated since that is their selling point."

Wayne & Amy from Kilgore, Texas

" My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Magnolia Mansion! It was far away from the main hub of activity in New Orleans, but only a trolley ride to Bourbon Street. The rooms are beautiful and Tim and Holly were excellent and attentive hosts. It's like taking a step back in time. If you want to stay somewhere romantic away from the hustle and bustle of New Orleans, but close enough to take a $1.25 trolley ride to the French Quarter, this is the place for you! This will be an annual stay for my wife and I! Thank you so much for the wonderful memories!"

A Recent Traveler from Austin, TX

"This hotel was over the top 'old Nola.' I loved wandering the halls in the quiet of the night pretending the whole mansion was mine. We were awarded an upgrade (due to the concierge's kindness) and our room- the Vamp Bordello (?)- was very comfortable, dark and quiet and big. The location was great- in the middle of the Garden District but still closer to the French Quarter than not. Although the snacks in the morning were appreciated, the coffee was unbelievably bad. Sorry. They must not be coffee drinkers. There are so many other food places to try in Nola though, it is not a big deal. On our stormy weekend stay, it was great that there were many movies to pick from at the mansion. I liked the charm of this place- very unique. Thanks!"
