Ruthie’s Balcony Suite bears the name of our beloved family matriarch. And for good reason. Occupying nearly a third of the mansion’s second floor, and with its own balcony looking into the Quarter, this is the flagship accommodation in our historic New Orleans bed and breakfast.

It features a spacious living area, newly redecorated private bathroom, and a large, sunny kitchenette with everything you need to warm your food and chill your drinks — including a microwave, a toaster, a coffee & tea station, flatware, tableware, and a full-sized fridge to hold groceries and leftovers from those massive French Quarter meals.

Beautifully renovated, the suite combines the classic architecture and detailing of the period with the modern comforts you want — wi-fi, air conditioning, smart HDTV, a ridiculously comfortable king-sized pillow-top mattress, and much more.

And did we mention the private wrought-iron balcony that wraps the front of the house? Overlooking the corner of Esplanade and Chartres, it’s the perfect place to people-watch while enjoying the pot pourri of sounds that drift over from the nearby markets, jazz clubs, and bustling Mississippi waterfront.

Oh, and don’t miss the sunsets from up here. They’re pretty hard to beat.

Everything you need is right here for you in Ruthie’s Balcony Suite, though we imagine you won’t spend too much time inside. After all, you’re just steps away from the city’s best entertainment, restaurants, and bars, and New Orleans is calling your name.
