Words from our happy guests
- I'm not lying when I say this is the absolute best location to stay in all of the city. Walk out the door. Pick any direction. Within 5 minutes you are already in the thick of the action. Days of things to do without ever getting in a ride share. I can't wait to go back.
- We loved our stay at the Lanaux! It was a great distance from everything. A couple minutes walk from the quarter but also just far enough away from all the craziness late at night. Beth was very attentive to us and made sure we were taken care of. It was so fun sitting on the balcony for people watching and the mansion was actually a stop for a few historical tours. It was fun to listen about the history of the house! This place made us feel so at home. We definitely recommend it!
- You couldn't ask for a better location, a better price or a better experience. Everything worthwhile was within walking distance, the layout is spacious and quaint and the history, as real as it gets. The bed is big and comfy and we were able to use the space and courtyard to unwind in between the morning and dusk. Would definitely return, and plan to.
- Our family of four stayed in the Lanaux Suite. It was the perfect size for us and our teenagers. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Excellent location. We enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. The host provided quick and informative communication. We would stay here again!
- A hidden gem placed in the midst of history, good times and easy breathin'! Andrea was fabulous and Jackie, the housekeeper, had the cottage spotless. Their timeliness and attention to my needs and that of the property was impeccable. I highly recommend!
