Treme Neighborhood Location
Located where the French Quarter, Faubourg Marigny, and Treme Historical District meet. The Treme neighborhood is known as the birthplace of jazz, with jazz clubs, soul food spots, and cultural centers. A 10-minute walk to Frenchman Street with its 10 music clubs in two blocks. 5-car gated parking lot available.

“Rathbone Mansions strikes me as a quiet escape with a personal touch; its location in the Treme neighborhood, near jazz clubs and the French Quarter, blends historical charm with local culture. I appreciate that it spreads across two antebellum mansions, offering both a park-like setting and unique room layouts. It's a solid pick for those wanting a more intimate, family-friendly stay in New Orleans.”
