The Spotlight on Auld Sweet Olive Bed and Breakfast

Charming Garden-Style Stay Near the New Orleans Music Scene

Auld Sweet Olive Bed and Breakfast offers a relaxed, artistic escape in the heart of New Orleans’ Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. Just minutes from the French Quarter and iconic music venues, this cozy B&B blends Southern charm with local style. Surrounded by lush gardens and featuring a peaceful courtyard terrace and outdoor pool, it’s a tranquil hideaway with authentic New Orleans flavor.

Why Concert-goers love it

This B&B is in a prime location for music lovers—less than 10 minutes from the French Quarter and legendary venues like the House of Blues and Preservation Hall. It’s far enough from Bourbon Street to offer a peaceful night’s sleep, but close enough to walk or take a quick ride-share to post-show fun. The early check-out time of 6:30 AM is ideal for travelers catching early flights, and the relaxed vibe makes it easy to come and go after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a unique local stay with shared spaces to hang out
  • Solo travelers attending a dream concert and wanting a homey base
  • Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
  • Fans seeking peace and quiet after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who prefer charm over chain hotels

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full restaurant on-site, Auld Sweet Olive offers a homemade breakfast daily—perfect for a slow start after a high-energy night. For lunch and dinner, you’re just a short walk from local eateries and late-night bites in the Marigny and Frenchmen Street districts. Though there’s no room service, the staff are happy to recommend nearby options.

Nightlife Options

You’re less than a mile from live jazz on Frenchmen Street and some of the city’s best dive bars and lounges. There’s no on-site bar, but the surrounding neighborhood pulses with live music and local flavor every night of the week—with options ranging from rowdy clubs to laid-back wine bars.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly hosts, artsy decor, and peaceful garden setting. Many mention the easy access to live music spots and the B&B’s quiet charm as the perfect post-show retreat. The unique character and warm hospitality are often highlighted in glowing reviews.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms are a bit quirky and may lack modern hotel amenities like TVs or mini-fridges. The early check-out time might be tough after a big night out, and there’s no elevator—so pack light if stairs are a concern.

The Bottom Line

Auld Sweet Olive Bed and Breakfast is a peaceful, character-filled spot that puts you close to the New Orleans music scene without the chaos—perfect for concert-goers who want charm, comfort, and a taste of local life.

The perfect New Orleans-style getaway

Liked: I normally do not rate places 10 - but this one has earned it. It is so beautiful, there is so much love and effort put to detail.. We really enjoyed being there one rainy afternoon. it feels like home away from home so quickly. The whole family is so committed to do the maximum for their guests, and the breakfast is outstanding in quality. We can and will recommend Kate's place to everyone planning to go to New Orleans.
Disliked: Bring your earplugs, the old building has very thin walls and you can follow a conversation from your neighbor. Our fellow guests were respectful and tried to be quiet in the evenings and early mornings - but I think this is not always the case.

Exceptional

Liked: This is a really lovely bed and breakfast, with really nice amenities, including an in-ground pool and patio area. And I should point out that there is a daily breakfast included that goes beyond just cereal and pastries, there were egg dishes served while we were there. We got the Palmetto room which includes a private bathroom -- not sure if all rooms include that so make sure to check. The bathroom has a completely restored claw foot tub and old time shower attachment making it quite elegant. We were there over Halloween and the place remained quiet during sleeping hours despite being booked. You are ten minutes walk from the Frenchman neighborhood and there is a coffee house right around the corner as well. One of our favorite brunch spots, Horn's, is a walk away as well. The host is very responsive and quickly communicated by text when we had questions, including suggestions for places to drink and eat.
Disliked: While the tub is beautiful, it is a little slippery so be careful getting in and out. The shower water wavered from heavy to light flow, but was adequate for taking a shower, just a little slower
