The Green House Inn - A restored 1840s B&B with clothing-optional saltwater pool in the Lower Garden District
Located in the Lower Garden District, this 3-star New Orleans hotel occupies a restored 1840s house featuring exposed cypress beams and original heart of pine floors. The Green House Inn combines historic charm with modern amenities, offering rooms equipped with deluxe king-size beds, private bathrooms with Italian tile showers, individual climate controls, and flat-screen TVs. Guests start their day with a continental breakfast including croissants, fresh fruit, yogurt, and boiled eggs. The property's centerpiece is a tree-shaped saltwater swimming pool with waterfalls and fiber optic lighting, complemented by an oversized Jacuzzi-style hot tub in a semi-tropical garden setting. Common areas provide free WiFi and a broadband-connected PC with printer. The Green House Inn sits within 0.5 miles of Magazine Street, the Contemporary Arts Center, and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, while the French Quarter and Jackson Square are 1 mile away.
Pros
Semi-tropical garden with intimate and social seating arrangements for relaxation
24/7 access to spring water cooler, ice maker, nuts, fresh fruit, and microwave popcorn
All second-floor rooms offer direct stair access to the garden and pool area
Advance arrangement available for special amenities like flowers, wine, and pralines
Cons
Two-kilometer distance to French Quarter attractions
Clothing-optional pool area may not suit all guests
“This spot knows its audience, and it delivers. The clothing-optional saltwater pool and hot tub are a definite draw, a touch of European sensibility amid New Orleans charm. I appreciate that this historic house-turned-B&B isn't afraid to be itself.”
