Audubon Cottages - Historic French Quarter hideaway with heated saltwater pool, private courtyards, and butler service

Historically significant as the former residence of John James Audubon, the Audubon Cottages complex occupies half a block, centered around what's documented as the oldest swimming pool in New Orleans.
