My wife and I had an elopement at the Mansion. Amazing location; amazing photos; gracious staff. My wife is a southern belle from Alabama; I am a local in New Orleans. We were looking for an antebellum location to host a small wedding and simple, elegant reception. We could not have picked a better location. We stayed in the "Gone... more

In a nutshell, this place was incredibly low class. Besides all the rules, the one person who was in charge, was rarely visible. The room was dusty, dirty, and in disrepair. We were led to believe that there was off street parking and there was, however, we were not allowed to park there. Instead we had to park on a... more

This is a true mansion. The whole house is gorgeous. They provided a free bottle of champagne. We stayed in the Moulin Rouge room and it was both romantic and sensual. The location is perfect for walking in the garden district. The owner was very kind and helpful and took photos throughout the property. The only drawback was that breakfast... more

My husband and I spent 5 nights at the Magnolia Mansion. We had never been to Louisiana before. I did all of my research on the internet. We prefer smaller bed and breakfast type Inns vs. large hotels. We were thrilled with our decision to stay at this charming and historic home. After reading the reviews, I was really stunned.... more

I admit I almost did not stay here because of the negative reviews but I am so glad we did. This place is an amazing peace of history, a beautiful home, and close to everything New Orleans. The owner and property manager were both very helpful, friendly and courteous. Our weekend getaway was perfectly planned and coordinated by these 2... more

My stay at the Magnolia Mansion started with being sat down at a desk and asked for my identification and that of everyone in my party. Then, we were given two full typed pages of weird, if not absurd, rules and room information for each person to sign. We got a tour of the house which was mainly repeated reminders... more

I am glad to know it enjoyed our location, the building itself and the furnishings. However, for clarification, Magolia Mansion is a historic antebellum home that is operated as a unique & romantic boutique hotel Inn. It is not a standard corporate hotel or hotel chain. We are an exclusive property for our in house guests only. This is to...

We booked our stay for New Year's Eve 2008. The week before, I became violently ill. I had to go to the emergency room. I was put on medication and told not to travel. When I called the hotel, the lady was not even concerned that I was ill. The first thing out of her mouth when I said I... more

First of all, I was very sorry that she was not feeling well, and that is exactly what I expressed to her on the phone when she called. I was not sarcastic at all, nor rude. I spoke to her professionally and politely giving her all of the necessary information and requesting information regarding her reservation, without any negative attitude....

Briefly...Awful Too many locks to get in, terrible breakfast, weird staff, not a single bloom on the property, no chairs on the patio, fresh towels and bed made only once in a four day stay. If you stay here the rules are enforced with a military zest. more

My fiance booked this hotel as a surprise for me on my 25th birthday. I was a little surprised by the negative reviews but I guess each person has different taste. I must say we absolutely LOVED the Magnolia Mansion! It was one of the most romantic and beautiful places I had ever been. We stayed in the Moulin Rouge... more

We have just returned from a fabulous Mardi Gras holiday in New Orleans. We stayed at our favorite place in the city - the Magnolia Mansion. My husband and I have stayed there over 20 times, and we always are thoroughly pleased. We rest very well here - better than at home. The linens are especially thick and comfortable. The... more
