Elysian Guest House

The Elysian Guest House, located in the historic Marigny area of New Orleans, is steps from the French Quarter.

A Victorian "double shotgun" built at the turn of the century, the guest house includes high ceilings, beautiful details, and extensive renovation.

The Elysian Guest House offers a wide range of accommodations to meet your needs. Each room has a private entrance, full bath with blow dryer, towels and toiletries, phone, cable TV/VCR, clock radio, iron and ironing board, and mini-kitchen with refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee-maker and breakfast supplies. You may choose to stay in the River Suite, the old double parlor with a queen sofa sleeper in the living room and a four-poster cornstalk queen bed in the bedroom. The large Porch Suite has a queen innerspring futon in the living area, a spacious king bed in the bedroom, and a swing on its own porch. A connecting door can open into the River Suite, making a deluxe accommodation for up to eight people.

Opening from the back garden, the Garden Suite hosts an innerspring futon in the living room and a queen poster bed in the bedroom. A full kitchen with a stove and a large refrigerator is provided. The Mid-City Studio, on the side of the house, is a large room with a queen bed, a loveseat twin bed foldout, and a new bath with a glass-block walled shower. A connecting door can open the room to the Garden Suite, making a two-bedroom, two-bath accommodation. The front Avenue Studio (smoking room) is a large room with a queen bed and a commodious kitchen area with table seating for four.

Two delightful furnished outdoor areas with hot tub and barbecue grill are ideal for cocktails, resting, and dining -- a perfect break before you hit the town for a New Orleans evening.

New Orleans is a city brimming with possibilities. Besides being adjacent to the famous French Quarter, the Marigny neighborhood has fantastic qualities of its own, including coffee houses, casual and fine dining, several local headliner jazz clubs, shops of all kinds, and plenty of nightlife. Music connoisseurs should visit the Jazz Museum, perhaps while enjoying Jazz Fest in the spring. Of course, New Orleans is synonymous with festivals, especially Mardi Gras and Southern Decadence. A riverside street car can take you to Jackson Square/Moon Walk, the Aquarium of the Americas, Riverwalk and Canal Place Shopping Centers, Harrah's Casino, and the convention center.

Visit exciting New Orleans while staying at Elysian Guest House, a peaceful and relaxing retreat. Your friendly hosts invite you to drop in, chat, and get information. "Through our gates pass happy guests" is both a slogan and a truism at Elysian Guest House.
