Location Highlights

Rathbone Mansions Hotel is on Esplanade Avenue in the Treme neighborhood, the birthplace of jazz. It is located where the French Quarter, Faubourg Marigny, and the Treme Historical District meet. Frenchman Street, featuring ten music clubs within two blocks, is a 10-minute walk. Landmarks nearby include the French Quarter (2 km), Louis Armstrong Park (0.5 km), and Bourbon Street (1 km). The hotel is 5 km from New Orleans Lakefront.

Transportation Access

Exploring New Orleans is convenient, with a streetcar stop two blocks away, bike rentals nearby, and a cross-city bus stop outside the door.

Southern Charm

The Mansion at 1227 Esplanade is a New Orleans example of the Greek Revival architectural style. It features a wrought iron fence with a filigreed gate, iron balconies, and a front porch overlooking Esplanade Avenue. A Creole-style tropical courtyard includes palm and banana trees. Michael McGrane, a New Orleans-based visual artist, has his work displayed. Beekman 1802 products, made with natural ingredients, are available.

“I appreciate the charm of this property, especially its location in the historic Treme neighborhood, the birthplace of jazz. The fact that it combines two antebellum mansions really gives it character, and I like that they offer an outdoor pool and hot tub for a relaxing experience. It's a great option for those wanting a taste of old New Orleans with modern comforts.”
