Melrose Mansion is a gem and was a highlight of our New Orleans trip. I was hoping to stay somewhere unique (non-chain) that incorporated the New Orleans vibe while still being comfortable and at least 4 stars. The mansion was right on the mark with nicely renovated rooms, clean/cute common areas, a small B&B feel and history. The pool was gorgeous and felt luxe and private. Our room was fantastic, clean, nice bathroom, comfortable mattress, all lovely. But the staff! The staff were welcoming, helpful, fun, and all-around made you feel like you were extra VIP. Special thanks to Emily who had a great personality and was over-the-top with her lists of restaurants and sites, even for my special dietary needs. I will only stay here moving forward. Loved it. 👏

As far as the property itself, I would describe it as more of an Airbnb/guesthouse experience than a traditional hotel. If you’re looking for somewhere to shower, sleep, get dressed and head back out to enjoy New Orleans, it can definitely serve its purpose. If you’re looking for a polished hotel experience where you want to relax in the room and enjoy the amenities, I would probably choose somewhere else. The room did have a noticeable smell, although I understand that can come with older historic properties in New Orleans. Cleanliness could also use some attention. There were a few hairs around the tub and sink, which is something I personally notice immediately. Complimentary breakfast was very basic , think cereal, packaged items and boxed/prepared breakfast foods ,so I wouldn’t book specifically for the breakfast. Staff were very helpful and amazing. Overall, the location was convenient and we made the absolute best of our stay. It gave us somewhere to sleep, shower and head right back out, which worked for this trip. Just come with realistic expectations: this is more historic guesthouse/Airbnb vibes than traditional hotel vibes.

We had a great experience at this Hotel! Emily was such an amazing hostess and gave us amazing list of recommendations. She was extremely accommodating and was a fun and informative conversation. The hotel was beautiful and well maintained considering it is a historical building. We would definitely comeback to stay again in the future.

Elevator breaks down frequently internet breaks down frequently there's are dangerous it could get risky if you have hip problems or mobility issues will not recommend for someone who has problem working down and up stairs it's very contrived everywhere you go there are stairs

The breakfast is great. You have a good range of different things to choose from. Location is great! Short walk to Frenchman Street to grab some food, drinks & live music. It was a bit bright in the room all night. The shutters are beautiful, but they let in the lights from outside all night.

Our favorite stay in New Orleans ever. The property is beautiful- historic, well maintained with modern luxury amenities. Location was perfect - close enough to easily walk to the quarter but quiet and peaceful. The staff was amazing- so helpful, very personalized experience. We will most definitely be back!
