taste a little history without spending a fortune nestled
in the ancient oaks of esplanade avenue our 1840 s
townhouse makes the perfect spot to begin and end your days
of french quarter discovery.
somehow a shiny new hotel doesn t seem quite right for
new orleans. more appropriate is slightly faded somewhat
threadbare elegance and the lamothe house fits the bill.
the creole style plain facade of the 1840 s townhouse hides
the atmosphere you are looking for - a mossy stone-lined
courtyard with a fish-filled fountain banana trees and
rooms filled with antiques that are worn in all the right
places but not shabby. a continental breakfast is served
on the second floor dining room that screams faded
gentility. as the staff points out it s not victorian
style it is victorian. it s a short walk to the action in
the quarter and just a couple of blocks to the bustling
frenchman scene. on a steamy night sitting in the
courtyard breathing the fresh air your can feel yourself
slip out of time - frommer s guide
enjoy original victorian antiques a lush courtyard with
fish pond and pool and complimentary afternoon sherry. and
don t miss our complimentary breakfast of fresh baked
pastries and croissants served in our elegant dining room.
louisiana-roast coffee and a selection of teas are
available day and night.
