The Spotlight on Rathbone Mansions New Orleans

Charming Southern Charm Just Steps from the Action

Modern hotels are nice, but nothing beats the character of a pair of historic New Orleans mansions. Set on tree-lined Esplanade Avenue, Rathbone Mansions New Orleans offers a cozy, old-world stay just a 15-minute walk from the French Quarter and countless live music hotspots. With a shared outdoor pool, hot tub, and relaxing front porch, it's a great blend of comfort and authenticity in one of the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

Why Concert-goers love it

This spot is ideal if you’re heading to a show in or near the French Quarter. It’s close enough to walk, yet tucked just far enough away to enjoy a quieter night’s sleep after the encore. The flexible 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before heading out, and the 11:00 AM check-out lets you sleep in after a late night. On-site parking is a bonus if you’re road-tripping to your concert city.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a unique stay with a little room to spread out in suites with seating areas
  • Solo travelers chasing that dream gig while soaking up local charm
  • Couples planning a romantic weekend with a concert centerpiece
  • Fans who need quieter vibes after high-energy shows
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want charm and a great location

Food and Drink Options

While Rathbone Mansions doesn’t have its own restaurant, it’s just a short walk or rideshare to the French Quarter’s 24/7 dining scene. Guests love grabbing a late-night bite at nearby spots or bringing food back to enjoy on the front porch. Each suite comes equipped with a microwave and fridge, perfect for leftovers or snacks after a show. Complimentary coffee, fruit, and filtered water are always available to help you recharge.

Nightlife Options

You’re minutes away from all the legendary nightlife of New Orleans. Whether it’s an impromptu brass band on Frenchmen Street or cocktails in a speakeasy, there’s no shortage of post-show fun. Prefer a low-key vibe? The hotel’s porch and hot tub are the perfect places to unwind under the stars.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the unique, historic feel of the property and its great location close to music venues but away from the tourist noise. The friendly staff, clean rooms, and relaxing outdoor spaces are frequently mentioned, especially the porch and pool area for decompressing after a night out.

Areas for Improvement

Because it’s a historic property, some rooms may be on the smaller side or have more vintage-style furnishings. There’s no elevator, so pack light if you’re on an upper floor. And while there's no on-site bar or restaurant, the surrounding neighborhood more than makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a charming, affordable, and well-located base for your New Orleans concert adventure, Rathbone Mansions hits all the right notes.

Exceptional

Liked: No breakfast available. Just a snack (fruit/bar) and coffee at reception. We were staying at the Louis Armstrong suite and it was perfect! That suite is at the main building where the reception and the pool is. We parked in front of the building for free. Kind and Friendly staff at reception! We walked everything (mainly to French quarter)

A beautiful, old mansion with...

Liked: The apartment was excellent! Very big, comfortable bed. The bathroom was lovely and clean. We also liked the pool and hot tub. The hotel was about a 10 minute walk from Bourbon Street, so it was very accessible, but away from all the action.
Disliked: The breakfast was the only thing that was disappointing. There is porridge, fruit and coffee but not much more.

The quintessential place to stay...

Liked: This gem was only about 5 blocks from Bourbon Street in a residential area so it made us feel we were guests in a home. It was the perfect place for four ladies. I don’t think I’ll ever stay anywhere else in NOLA again.
Disliked: I have nothing bad at all to say about this property.
