Audubon Cottages, New Orleans
More photosExpert reviews
“At the Audubon Cottages, you get to sleep in one of seven immaculately restored historical buildings, ranging from two-bedroom suites with private courtyards and walk-in showers to a former storage shed once used as a studio by John James Audubon. You’ll have your own saltwater pool, attentive staff and the satisfaction of having privacy and quiet within the Quarter.”
“An unmarked gate and leaf-canopied pathway lead to seven ultra-private one- and two-bedroom cottages with a large courtyard (some private, some shared). Each is gracefully but not overly antiqued amid gorgeous brick walls and gleaming hardwood floors.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in New Orleans.
“These high-end cottages provide historic architecture and privacy in a plum location in the French Quarter. They’re set around a beguiling courtyard and a bijoux pool, and offer outstanding individual amenities and a butler service that brings home the sense of luxury.”

Hidden Gem in the Quarter
Great hidden gem in New Orleans. Excellent concierge service and incredible outdoor courtyard hidden from the French Quarter by smart architecture design and beautiful landscaping. Always worth a night or two when visiting NOLA. Jeffrey (or maybe its Geoffrey) recommended some excellent restaurants and his tips should not be ignored.
Bathrooms need updating. Pool can get crowded given its limited size and/or lack of privacy. Plenty of privacy in the rooms, though, which are each unique stand alone cottages.

Beautiful private world in a busy city
I loved how secluded the cottages felt against the clamor of the French Quarter. My own oasis to regenerate after the food and nightlife. The private courtyard and small number of units made this a special place indeed.

Lovely stay in historic New Orleans
The location of Audubon Cottages was fabulous for experiencing the French Quarter in all it’s glory. However, those that are sensitive to noise might pack a pair of earplugs. I love the Quarter, but my boys found it difficult to sleep due to the noise that can go into the wee hour of the morning. It is what it is… and it is the French Quarter. We walked to all our meals and tours around the city. Make sure to take the recommendations of the lovely fellows that run Audubon Cottages. Our meals were delicious and I would have known about the restaurants if not for their guidance. I loved the cottage and hope to return next year. It was a fabulous stay and an absolutely gorgeous courtyard.
I loved the authentic cottages. The noise was just something that goes along with being in the Quarter and not unexpected. Just another fun layer to New Orleans :)

Comfortable would be an understatement. We had a perfect week at these cottages.
Not only was the staff nice enough to make reservations for us before we even flew out to New Orleans, the room was very cozy and quaint and my wife and I enjoyed it very much. The brick structures, the pool in particular, was amazing. I 10 out of 10 highly recommend this place.
There was nothing I did not like about the property.

The cottage was beautiful, so as the backyard and pool. in the middle of French quarter.
I would not recommend to book this property through booking, better do that directly instead. As the property manager explained they do not receive messages sent via booking chat, nor is the property address correctly reflexted on the booking webpage, so we had some trouble with finding the place and agreeing regarding the check in.
