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.
