Lafitte Guest House

Here you'll find the best of both worlds: antique living just blocks from Bourbon Street mayhem (though the Lafitte's cute little parlor seems almost antithetical to rowdy merriment). The three-story brick building, with wrought-iron balconies on the second and third floors, was constructed in 1849. Each room has its own mostly Victorian flair, with thoughtful touches such as pralines on the pillow and even white-noise machines to handle the Bourbon Street ruckus, which is an excellent idea. Some rooms have balconies overlooking Bourbon. Room no. 21 has its own sitting room, while garçonnière rooms are smaller and probably best for singles. Room no. 5 in the old stables in back has a tiny loft (the ceiling may be a little low for a tall person). It has a wonderful quality, good for couples wanting a little extra privacy. The owners are committed to supporting their city and use many products from local vendors. Altogether, this is a delightful little place, but the prices are a bit steep, considering.
