Pool and Garden Facilities
Guests have access to a pool and hot tub at 1244 Esplanade, available to all hotel visitors with a maximum capacity of 10 people. The 1227 mansion features a Creole-style tropical courtyard with palm and banana trees, a large front porch overlooking Esplanade Avenue, and garden seating.
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.
Event and Guest Services
The Grand Parlor at 1227 Esplanade accommodates up to 20 guests with 19th-century style artwork and furniture. Events require 48-hour advance notice. The property features artwork by local artist Michael McGrane, whose work has been exhibited at the Louisiana State Museum and New Orleans Contemporary Art Museum.
“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.”
