Jean Lafitte House - A historic French Quarter hotel with residential-style accommodations and a private courtyard pool
Located on Esplanade Avenue between Chartres and Royal Streets, this three-star New Orleans hotel occupies a historically designated building dating back to 1809. Jean Lafitte House features traditional rooms with residential layouts, high ceilings, and kitchenettes equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, and electric stoves. Studio apartments, one-bedroom lofts, and two-bedroom units accommodate up to six guests, with select rooms offering balcony access and street views. The property includes a plunge pool in a private courtyard. Positioned just one block from Bourbon Street and Frenchmen Street, Jean Lafitte House sits 0.5 miles from the French Market, 0.5 miles from Jackson Square and Cafe Du Monde, and 2 miles from the Caesars Superdome.
Pros
Original architectural elements preserved through careful restoration
Private courtyard with outdoor plunge pool
Walking distance to major music venues and jazz clubs
Each unit features a fully equipped kitchenette
Cons
16 miles from Louis Armstrong International Airport
Some guests report unexplained noises at night
“Staying here means embracing a slice of New Orleans history, mere steps from the lively pulse of Bourbon and Frenchmen Streets. The spacious apartment-style accommodations, some featuring kitchenettes and balconies, lend a residential feel, while the courtyard pool offers a refreshing escape. I think its blend of historic charm and modern convenience provides a singular stay.”
