Audubon Cottages - Historic French Quarter hideaway with heated saltwater pool, private courtyards, and butler service
Set behind a discreet green door in the French Quarter, this 4-star New Orleans hotel comprises seven individual cottages with private or semi-private courtyards. 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. Each cottage features modern amenities including 42-inch flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffeemakers, iPod docks, and complimentary stocked minibars. A French Quarter Butler delivers personalized service and complimentary breakfast to guest rooms daily. The heated saltwater pool area includes wrought iron chaise lounges amid brick architecture and tropical gardens. Guests have access to a fitness center with cardio equipment and weights. Located between St. Louis and Toulouse streets, the property sits 0.5 miles from Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, and the French Market, with the Museum District and streetcars on Canal Street within walking distance.
Pros
Seven uniquely decorated one- and two-bedroom cottages with high-end furnishings
Historic property features original exposed brick walls and Tuscan-style courtyards
Secluded location offers quiet despite proximity to French Quarter attractions
Butler service provides personalized attention and daily breakfast delivery
Cons
Property entrance marked only by small plaque and locked green door
9.5 miles distance from New Orleans Lakefront Airport
“Nestled in the French Quarter, this collection of cottages whispers a different tune than the surrounding streets. The claim to the oldest pool in New Orleans certainly piques interest, as does the dedicated butler service, but the true allure lies in the promise of secluded courtyards just steps from the Quarter's vibrant pulse. It's a unique proposition: historical charm paired with a distinctly private experience.”
