This is a mansion, literally. It could actually be a State Dept. building with sky high ceilings and a grand, stately, yet charming and homey presence. It is unique! Parking is on the street and it is safe; we were there for three nights and had no problems. Unfortunately, the streetcar line was not working, as it was in the... More

We were blown away by the hospitality at this Victorian lady. The mansion is tastefully decorated in a mix of campy and classy. Enjoyed all modern conveniences and attention to our needs. My adult sons were not quite sure what to think at first, but were won over. We enjoyed fine dining in NOLA including a short walk to Emeril's... More

I enjoyed a weekend in NOLA and elected to stay here. The mansion is simply gorgeous and well maintained. Also it's very clean which I appreciated. My room had a comfy queen bed, there was a little anteroom with a single bed and then the bathroom, which had a deep jacuzzi tub and gold fixtures. The room was a deep... More

It was the perfect place to stay in New Orleans. We wanted to see everything everything Nola has to offer but didn't want to be in the middle of things all the time. So the Garden district in which Magnolia Mansion is located was a great choice as it is close to the centre but also far away enough to... More

Progress is made to restore more of the St. Charles St Car line every week. It should be completed very soon. This is the first time in the 10 years that we have been in operation that the... More
