Esplanade Ridge Location

Situated in the Esplanade Ridge historic district, the B&B is eight blocks from the French Quarter and one mile from City Park. The Esplanade Avenue bus runs every 30 minutes, and taxi service to the French Quarter costs $6-7. Louis Armstrong International Airport is 15 km away, with taxi fares at $36 for 1-2 persons.

“This Italianate-style B&B evokes New Orleans' rich history, and the hosts share unique ghost stories for those inclined. Expect personalized service that extends to the breakfast table, with gourmet meals tailored to your preferences. I think its location in the Esplanade Ridge historic district, close to attractions, makes it an excellent choice.”
