The cost for this mansion’s second floor was several thousand dollars under the cost of hotel suites in the area. We needed room for about 20 men to hang out for the day. The beauty is priceless and the grandness is understated in the pictures. You truly get the NOLA experience you read about in books. Drinking coffee on the balcony you hear the hoof trots of the carriage tours…what a beautiful experience. The photo ops from my sons wedding day hang out with his groomsmen even took the NOLA born and raised photographer’s breath away. The hostess was always ready with recommendations from food delivery for our group of 20, places to get ladies hairdos for the wedding day and where to park. Not only will I be recommending this mansion to friends, I will be back to stay in the smaller rooms with just my husband for a weekend.
