Let’s get started!

Perfectly positioned between the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street, Beth’s Escape is a hidden gem just steps from two of the most iconic neighborhoods in New Orleans.

From the moment you enter the mahogany gate, walk down our 150-year-old brick pathway, and up the private rustic staircase, your unforgettable Big Easy visit begins.

With its airy 14-foot ceilings, original window shutters, and preserved hardwood floors, the suite is both comfortable and spacious, an ideal blend of natural lighting and cool shaded nooks. Located on the Lanaux Mansion’s second floor, it offers a private balcony overlooking our courtyard — the perfect place for coffees and cocktails.

Soft tones, contemporary charm, and vibrant New Orleans-inspired art create an atmosphere everyone can enjoy.

Need to hit the snooze button after a night of Big Easy fun? Your suite features custom Roman blackout shades and a dreamy, comfy queen-sized bed. The adjoining living room includes stylish, L-shaped sapphire velvet couches — one offering a pull-out queen bed for additional sleeping space if needed.

Of course, high-speed internet, dual AC and heating, and a smart TV are here for those who want to stay in and relax or get some work done.

There’s even a luxury full-sized bathtub and shower, surrounded by soothing pink damask with white and chrome accents in our newly redecorated bathroom.

Parking
New Orleans is a very walkable city. A car is generally not necessary. Our location is perfect for walking as we are right on the border that separates the French Quarter from the Faubourg Marigny and Frenchmen Street.

We are one block from the Riverfront Streetcar and several bike rental shops, as well as on the RTA (Regional Transit Authority) routes for bus service. Uber cars and taxis are easily accessible as well. Should you decide to drive, parking can be booked with us in advance, subject to availability.

Noise
New Orleans is known for its good times and late nights. When the city is full, guests who are light sleepers need not be disturbed as we provide a sound machine and earplugs in each room.
No Smoking
The Lanaux Mansion is a nonsmoking facility to protect the historic integrity of the property, as well as guests who may have allergies.

Room Details

The Cottage is part of the 5 BR/4 BA French Quarter Lanaux Mansion. The Mansion operates as a bed and breakfast. The Cottage is private from the main house but offers wi-fi, air conditioning, a sitting area for when you need to get some work done, and a flat-screen HDTV for when you don’t. You’ll enter the Lanaux property through a private gate off Chartres Street, and pass through your own garden courtyard — a wonderful place for relaxed coffees or cocktails — on the way to your newly renovated rooms. Once inside, you’ll instantly start to feel at home. The former kitchen storehouse has high, airy ceilings and large windows to let in plenty of natural light. Whitewashed brick walls and tastefully rustic decor make it as homey as it is handsome Everything you need is right here, though we guess you won’t spend much time inside, being mere steps away from the city’s best entertainment, restaurants, and bars.

Although there are options for delicious NOLA cuisine in every direction, we stock your classic black-and-white-tiled kitchen with continental breakfast, including oatmeal, yogurt, Healthy Valley breakfast bars, assorted coffee, milk, and teas. There’s also a full-sized fridge to keep refreshments cool, and a microwave to warm up leftovers from those generous New Orleans meals.

Best of all, you’re just a short stroll from Frenchmen Street, where you’ll enjoy some of the finest music around, or Royal Street, where authentic and talented street performers jest and entertain visitors. And of course, you can’t miss the famous revelry on Bourbon Street, which really needs no introduction at all. Everything is just steps away.

New Orleans is one of the most unique cities in the world, one that’ll grab hold of your soul and keep you coming back for more. In Beth’s Escape at the Lanaux Mansion, you can fill your days with as much — or as little — activity or peace-and-quiet as you want.
