We had a wonderful time here during our stay. The location is perfect and allowed us to walk everywhere. I went on a morning run every day of our stay and it was such a great central place to run from. The staff was helpful and when we had a little issue they were quick to take care of it and moved us to a different room. The pool was lovely and the hot tub was the perfect temp. The jets didn't work but the hot water was great. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Checking in was a smooth process, they offer back parking at $20, but street parking was extremely available and free. The front desk was super sweet during check in and check out. Room was very clean, cute and a great size for me and my husband. Bathroom is huge lol. Hot tub was nice too. We really enjoyed our stay and thought it was a perfect walk away from everything in the French Quarter without having to be directly downtown with all the noise. Would 100% recommend for couples and will be back if we end up in NOLA again!

The young lady at the front desk at arrival was very sweet and super helpful. "Mansions" is quite a stretch. Room was ok, and about what should be expected for the price. Could not log in to the TV to use any of streaming services, which is really strange and annoying. Location to walk down to Bourbon Street was excellent, and the pool and hot tub were super.

Beautiful, historic property located on Esplanade. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The pool was nice and well enjoyed by our kids. The only bruise on our stay was due to no fault of the hotel. I had to run out around 5:30 AM and opened the front door of the building from the lobby and was confronted by a bottomless homeless female sleeping on the stoop. She scooted over to the side of the front door but I arranged for my husband to open the front door upon my return as the entrance has a pretty lengthy code entry and I didn’t want to essentially hover over this person while trying to get back into the residence. A general challenge for hoteliers in general in New Orleans but the experience caused me to question my desire to stay outside the beaten path again, especially with kids.

TBH, Staying in a 175 year old room is new to me. Usually stick with the trusty old chain hotels but thought I’d step out of the box a bit and try this. Definitely very happy! Place has some cool vibes, room was spacious, amenities were good, staff super friendly and location was awesome. No problems recommending!

We loved our stay at Rathbone Mansions in New Orleans. The staff was great and we were well cared for. It was conveniently located to everything we need to be at. Our entire family was in the same area. Our grandchildren especially loved the pool.
