Before you skip past this treasure in the Garden District in the most beautiful part of New Orleans please read this review.
First of all we are not affiliated in any way with the Parks-Bowden Mansion. Every word we share is straight from our experience staying here this last week.
First of all the Library Room is an experience all on it’s own. This isn’t a room loaded with bargain basement basements. This is a real library of great literary works. Who are we to say this? My partner has a Masters Degree in English and Library Sciences. She was impressed…..I was overwhelmed.
The room was nothing short of stunning.
Now let’s talk about the house itself. This is an incredible monument celebrating all aspects of the spirit of New Orleans. You simply need to experience this to understand how impressive the whole house is. It is as if every square inch of space has been curated with works of arts and crafts resulting is an environment unlike anything else we have ever experienced.; in the best of ways.
The house is located in an amazing neighbourhood and access to the French Quarter is less than 20 minutes away by the St. Charles street car and more importantly an easy 4 minute walk to Magazine St. Magazine Street is a jem on it’s own. There are so many shops for amazing food and incredible arts in shops up and down this street.
There are no words to express how much we enjoyed staying here….other than to say we won’t stay anywhere else when we return to New Orleans.
Simply astounding.
