“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.”
