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.”

magical and hope to go back someday.
beautiful and clean. the flowers and greenery felt like you’re in a secret garden. the manager that assisted us with gaining entrance into the property went above and beyond with ensuring our safety and providing excellent food and entertainment recommendations!

Love this place!
This little gem is breathtakingly beautiful. It felt like magic, stepping through an unassuming door on a busy street and being transported into a quiet oasis. We were here during Mardi Gras and thoroughly enjoyed the contrast between the high-energy world outside and this peaceful haven. The staff was so kind, taking time to tell us all the best places to visit and eat (so much within easy walking distance!) and making sure every detail was attended to. We stayed in cottage number 1. It was charming, immaculately clean, and comfortable. This will always be our go-to place to stay in New Orleans. We can't wait to go back!
I literally can't think of a single thing.

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.

The location was perfect to walk around the French Quarter. It was quite and secure.

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.

Hotel Royal Sonesta, New Orleans
Fodors + 2 more“There’s a little something for everyone at this sprawling, resort-like hotel overlooking Bourbon Street. Refined meeting rooms, elegant yet rowdy Bourbon Street-facing balcony suites, a sunny pool deck, and an ultra-fine dining restaurant are just some of the things that attract families, businesspeople, and bachelorettes alike.”

Hotel Monteleone, New Orleans
Fodors + 2 more“Dating back to 1886, The Monteleone is a longtime favorite Quarter hotel, and with reason. This grand old hotel has the right mix of New Orleans grandeur, sophisticated style, and a good dose of fun, with great bar outlets, a rooftop pool, and live music.”
Park View Historic Hotel, New Orleans
Lonely Planet“Beside Audubon Park, this ornate wooden masterpiece was built in 1884 to impress people attending the World Cotton Exchange Exposition. The rooms and guest lounge are heavy with antiques, and the verandah overlooking the park and St Charles Ave is lovely.”
