Rathbone Mansions

My partner and I had a really lovely time in New Orleans and Rathbone Mansions was perfect for what we needed in a hotel. The room was a decent size, and clean with air conditioning. We also much enjoyed the pool area as it was exceptionally hot and muggy while we were there. The location was ideal as it was walking distance to the French Quarter but still far enough to have some peace and quiet in between tourist activities. The room didn't really offer much wardrobe space to store away clothes. Since we only stayed a couple of nights that was no drama for us but had we stayed longer, living out of the suitcase might have become a bit more tedious. It was also a bit of a shame that the hotel didn't offer any snacks or beverages for purchase, so it was a matter of planning ahead and buying stuff at the corner shop up the road to store in the fridge available in the hotel room. Again, no drama but would have been a bit more convenient.

Location was great, room was lovely as were the outdoor spaces. The bed and bedding were comfortable and of high quality.

If you want old, quaint, stylish hotel, Rathbone Mansions might be a good option for you. We liked the antique flair and location, but did not like the fact we reserved a superior king room and it looked nothing like the photos on Expedia. Our room was across the street from the main building (hence, "Mansions"), and it was very sub-par, especially for what we paid and we assumed we were getting. At least the bed was comfortable and the shower hot. The pool area is small and crowded with people smoking IN the pool despite signs stating no smoking allowed in the pool area. Also, we were awakened at 12:30a-1:00a by a large group of very drunk women who were staying in our "mansion", yelling across the 3 floors and carrying on like they were the only ones there for quite a while. It is New Orleans, after all, and I guess to be expected being so close to the Quarter...When I went to check out Sunday morning, the door for the main building was locked from the inside, but the clerk acted like it was my fault for bothering her. She did not even ask "how was your stay", nothing. Luckily, we were able to find parking on the street close by. You have to "reserve" parking inside the hotel fence by calling ahead, I guess. This hotel has so much potential, but we won't be back to see if they attain it.

Very good

Lots of amazing detail in every part of the space. The person at the desk was very helpful. Hope to stay again soon.

Perfect accommodations for my large family in town for a wedding Smoking allowed in the pool area, so on a hot humid day, it could be unbearable to be in the pool area with guests who were chain smoking

The neighbourhood is super nice, 10/15min walk from frenchman street and bars area, so it´s quiet but close enough to go to town and enjoy. Lots of typical houses around, plants, etc. The flat is nice, with a room + toilet, small living room and small but useful kitchen. It´s a typical NOLA house which is also nice. And the swimming pool comes in handy at times during hot days. As any other "old" house, it comes with its perks but nothing major or worth noting. The kitchen supplies come a bit short... so adding some extra spoons, forks, and a few other things could come in handy. That being said when we arrived we requested a few things and they quickly supplied them.

The Mansion is in close proximity to the local attractions. It was clean and very comfortable. My wife and I took advantage of the transit system which had several stops close by, including the trolley. We'll be booking here again. I highly recommend.

The location, and the aesthetics Maybe needed a few more things in the communal room in the morning with coffee.

Cheap, convenient, and historic. I hate to leave a review. I was able to find street parking here which is amazing!

Great spot on a main road, close enough to both sides of the city to walk or uber quickly!

Such a wonderful find!!! This hotel is made up of two mansions on Esplanade Ave. between the French Quarter and Frenchman St. The rooms are well appointed and cozy. The pool and hot tub (even in the summer) was absolutely amazing after a long day walking around the town. This is our new favorite place to stay in the city we love.

The staff was lovely. The facilities were excellent. I was traveling with my dog and they gave me a room with garden accesss. It's less than a 10 minute walk from Frenchman street. Far enough from the noise for a good night's rest, close enough to walk. Right next to thr central train lines and Louis Armstrong park.

Lovely place. Clean and comfy. Kind of awkward that the pool and hot tub we were supposed to use were at another hotel location. Just a few houses down. But still not convenient. Also hot tub was just hot, no jets 😳

Clean and well maintained. Nothing

The room was beautiful, and the staff were so kind!

Cozy and friendly
