Official Description (provided by the hotel)

Laid-back luxury in the Bywater neighborhood of New Orleans. Four meticulously-renovated suites include private entrances, baths & living rooms, queen beds & sleeper sofas. The backyard paradise with a saltwater cocktail pool & hot tub, cabana with wet bar & bathroom is perfect for small parties, casual meetings or romance. Employees disappear unless called upon so with only 4 suites, guests often feel they have the "place to themselves". ... more

“An Absolute Gem!”

Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

This place looked enticing from reviews and photos and I'm so glad we gave it a try. We had the Mardi Gras suite and it was spotless, enormous and richly and eclectically decorated. The bathroom is huge--I've never had a couch in a hotel bathroom before! While we arrived too late to use the amazing pool, hot tub and bar... More

“Perfect Hidden Gem of New Orleans”

Reviewed 4 weeks ago

The backyard of this wonderful Inn was almost enough to sell me for a five day trip to New Orleans. And it did not disappoint. Our group left six days later with unforgettable experience in the city thanks to such a wonderful home base in the Bywater. Our host Kelly was absolutely terrific and very responsive whenever there was an... More

The rooms are very large and nicely decorated. The mattress in the Bollywood is a... More

I've been to New Orleans several time last over the last few years, but this was my first time staying at the Lookout Inn. I can say with certainty I will never stay anywhere else.

“Almost Perfect”

Reviewed July 19, 2016

This was our first experience with an "airbnb". The Bywater area is part of the 9th Ward that was so badly damaged during Katrina. A comeback has been underway and there are several promising premises. The Lookout on Poland Ave is one of them. We had the Mardi Gras Suite which is beautifully appointed and very well maintained. The living... More

Hey there! Thanks so much for taking the time to share a review of your recent stay at The Lookout. I'm glad you enjoyed the space and ambiance of the Mardi Gras Suite. However, I'm sorry that the hallway light was bothersome. For fire safety and security reasons, we have to keep the hallway lit but we use the lowest... More

“Beautiful Bywater Oasis!!”

We stayed here for a long weekend and loved it!! Kelly, our Innkeeper, is warm, gracious and attentive, and her dog, Percy, is a happy, furry bonus:) The luxurious backyard garden, with saltwater pool, hot tub & cabana, was a welcome respite at the end of hot, dusty days exploring NOLA.
