Whether this is your first visit to the Big Easy or your thirtieth, this apartment couldn't be better placed for the NOLA novice or a seasoned vet to experience the best that New Orleans has to offer.

It's just steps from the historic French Quarter with its vibrant atmosphere, cool jazz clubs and sumptuous Creole cuisine around every corner. The building itself is situated on Magazine St. – often overlooked by visitors, it's famous among locals for offering six snaking miles of retail therapy (mostly art and antiques) as it passes through the city.

Inside, the apartment takes inspiration from the nearby Warehouse District, with exposed brick, double-height ceilings and large windows that illuminate the space. Elsewhere, a sleek and stylish bedroom offers a calming sanctuary to retreat to at the end of a busy day, while the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need to whip up mouthwatering homemade meals. Though, with the city's foodie reputation, we don't imagine it'll get much use.

Hop in the elevator and head out to explore. The perfect position of the apartment places you within a ten-minute walk or streetcar ride of most of the headline attractions. Nearby, bustling Bourbon Street, picturesque Jackson Square, and beignets and cafe au lait at local institution Cafe du Monde.

Miss The Mississippi

Located on Canal Street, a Mardi Gras hotspot and New Orleans’ answer to Fifth Avenue, this apartment occupies one of the best spots in the city. Step outside your front door and you’ll find yourself a five-minute walk from the iconic Bourbon Street, fifteen minutes from Jackson Square and seconds from a number of foodie joints. When you’re not tucking into fresh beignets in Woldenberg Park, you’ll be soaking up the Louisianan sunshine on your building’s communal terrace with your tipple of choice in hand. 

Inside the home, it’s modern yet cosy with soothing neutral tones and sumptuous soft furnishings. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa or curl up on the armchair with a gripping novel as a pot of gumbo cooks away in the fully-equipped kitchen. And when the day draws to a close, retreat to the quiet bedrooms and drift off beneath the crisp white sheets. 

Rhythm Section 

New Orleans is a city full of energy, creativity and beauty. And this home, located in the Central Business District, is the perfect setting to discover its magic. 

With light spacious interiors and elegant styling, this is a great place for families and friends to share quality time together. From the large communal areas to the intimate bedrooms, this home is designed to socialise in a relaxing setting. And whether you’re cooking in the kitchen or reading on the balcony, it’s easy to feel at home here. 

Outside, you’ll love walking through the neighbourhood towards the cafes, shops and restaurants on Magazine Street – only twenty–minutes away. Jump in a cab and head to the historic French Quarter – this is a great spot to pause and savour the spirit of the city. 

There’s an amazing selection of restaurants, bars and music venues all within walking distance. But if you feel like staying in, this home is the perfect place to celebrate the heart and soul of New Orleans.

The Cool Breeze

Show up and start living your best New Orleans life at this stylish townhouse set in the laidback residential neighbourhood of Mid-City, and just a ten-minute streetcar ride from the jazz beats of the French Quarter.

Newly built and part of an exclusive complex, inside, it's all high-spec finishes and clutter-free spaces. Friends or family sharing will like how spacious the home feels, with bedrooms spread apart over two floors to give that extra bit of privacy. But you'll love the vast and stylish living space even more, with a layout set up for easy socialising and sunny balconies for sundowners.

Away from this luxurious home, you'll find the pace of life in this residential district is slower than its nearby party neighbour – the French Quarter. Dive into its Cajun-Creole eateries and mellow breakfast spots for a bite to eat and a warm welcome. Check out the vast green spaces of City Park and the eclectic art of the New Orleans Museum of Art – both a twenty-five-minute stroll away. And when it's time to cast your net further into the city, getting about New Orleans is a breeze. The city's iconic red streetcar is just a five-minute walk away.

Block Rockin' Beats

With its location in the vibrant neighbourhood of Freret, this characterful home welcomes guests into the New Orleans city groove. Walking up the steps and onto the traditional porch captures the authentic charm of its location, where tourists and locals come together to experience the best of the city. 

Contemporary comfort meets tradition in this home. Whether you’re relaxing in the bedroom or enjoying the magical ambience of the outdoor sitting area, you’ll feel at home in this space. Set in the heart of a wonderful community, we suggest beginning your day next door at the local favourite, Mojo’s Coffeehouse. From here, there’s plenty to explore. The area is brimming with shops, markets, restaurants, bars and music clubs. 

If you’re here for the Mardi Gras, you’re in a fantastic location to easily access the Uptown Parade route. However you spend your time in the city, this home is a wonderful place to share it with friends and family. 

The Willow

It can be tricky to find the perfect place for big groups in the city centre, but this home has you covered. With easy access to NOLA's most iconic attractions, it's a fantastic place for all your guests to kick back and relax between their adventures. 

With crisp white walls and smart furnishings, this contemporary home is a haven of tranquility amongst the hustle and bustle of New Orleans. Budding chefs can whip up their favourite cajun dishes in the kitchen, and the open-plan setup makes it easy to chat as you cook. And, on hot days, everyone can head out to the terrace to soak up the sun and take refreshing dips in the shimmering pool.

From your location here in the Central Business District, you can take a ten-minute car ride to famous Bourbon Street to immerse yourself in The Big Easy's world-famous nightlife. Hop between intimate jazz bars and sip delicious cocktails, admiring the unique architecture as you go. And, if you fancy catching a game, the Superdome is just a four-minute drive away from your front door. 

Louisiana Hot

For a charming getaway in New Orleans, this home could be just the thing. With a traditional front porch, you'll feel every bit of this city's Southern charm. Sipping on your morning coffee here as you watch this leafy neighbourhood wake up is particularly lovely. And with such friendly locals, you're sure to get a "good morning" or two. 

One of the great things about New Orleans, aside from the music, culture, food, and lots more, is the streetcar system. Not only do the cute streetcars transport you back in time, but they're also super handy. Hop on a streetcar and within twenty minutes you'll be in the heart of the famous French Quarter. There's so much to see here, you could spend days exploring it all. Pop into the many museums, galleries, and coffee shops, before making your way to the French Market. This market is the oldest of its kind in the United States selling everything from local handicrafts to gourmet foods – truly a must-see. Then, spend time in Jackson Square, sipping on a glass of wine on the sidelines as you admire the street performers.

When it comes to dinnertime, your island kitchen table is ideal for gathering the family around for a relaxed dinner. Playing cards and having some drinks while the fireplace crackles on is a lovely way to round off a day in the Big Easy. And if you don't want to cook (you're on holiday after all!), you're just a twenty-minute streetcar ride or a six-minute drive to Bourbon Street. There, you can try out all the Gumbo, jambalaya, and po'boys you can muster. And there are plenty of bluesy bars and jazz clubs to sip a Sazerac or two after dinner.

Sweet Cherry

This New Orleans townhouse ticks all the boxes, as far as we're concerned. Not only are the interiors bright, spacious and tastefully decorated with a TV in every room, but it's also got access to a large swimming pool and outdoor chessboard. Whether you decide to bask in the Louisiana sun or cool off inside, all your entertainment needs are covered.

Your hosts have opted for a minimal colour palette, elevated with marble finishes and warm wood floors. In the chic, subway-tiled kitchen, cooking your meals will be a joy – we're especially fond of the deep Belfast sink. At the end of a long day, the plush living space promises comfort and relaxation. Stick on your favourite show and sip a glass of wine as you sink into the sofa.

New Orleans' vibrant centre is less than a half hour's walk away. In the heart of the French Quarter, Bourbon Street throbs with life and music, inviting you to join in the fun. Dip into a jazz club for a late-night performance – you won't find better anywhere else in the world.

Carnival Time

Just a stone’s throw from all the bustling action along Canal Street, this comfortable apartment is in an ideal spot to get the most out of a stay in New Orleans and its historic French Quarter.
 
Inside, hardwood floors and a contemporary decor set a welcome scene in the open-plan living area, with pieces of art on the walls reflecting the city’s history of jazz and touches of industrial chic in the furnishing’s metalwork accents. The bedroom, meanwhile, is a pared-back space full of natural hues that set the tone for a restful night’s sleep, while the building’s communal rooftop terrace beckons sunny starts to the day over coffee and memorable evenings watching the sunset over the Big Easy’s skyline. 
 
When you’re ready to set out for a day of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance. Hop on a streetcar down Canal Street (one minute away), or discover the vibrant atmosphere of Bourbon Street, a six-minute stroll from your door. You’re also a twelve-minute walk from Jackson Square, while the Steamboat Natchez Riverboat dock – for cruises down the Mississippi River – is ten minutes away on foot.

Jazzy Nights

Part of a shining new cluster of villas in Mid City, this New Orleans hideaway puts bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep. The New Orleans Museum of Art is a leisurely half-hour stroll away, or you can hit the green and pedestrian cycle/walkway of Lafitte Greenway connecting you to Armstrong and City Park. The iconic French Quarter is less than ten minutes by car (or streetcar).

Families or groups of friends that enjoy socialising will appreciate the large, open living area. Striking velvet blue sofas sit against the lightwood floor and crisp white walls, drawing the eye as you enter. Choose to plot the day’s adventures at the sleek breakfast bar or the dining table and admire New Orleans themed artwork on the wall to get you in the mood to visit the French Quarter. The big range-style cooker in the kitchen will keep chefs of the group happy, while plush beds with tufted velvet headboards offer respite for those that like sound sleep.

There's outdoor space too, both shared and private. Pull up a chair on the private balcony and enjoy a mint julep at sundown, or head to the communal barebcue area beneath the pegola downstairs.

Julep Days

Three floors united by fresh, bright interiors await at this contemporary townhouse set in an exclusive complex of New Orlean's popular residential district, Mid-City.

The perfect retreat after a day gallivanting about The Big Easy, you've all the creature comforts here. Fire up the coffee machine in the sleek, modern kitchen – the breakfast bar and vast dining table make it a great sociable space. Spill out into the lounge area with characterful design touches. Catch the last rays on the sunny balcony or downstairs in the shared garden. Or sneak away for a soak in the luxurious freestanding bath.

Or follow the jazz beats and bright lights down to the cocktail bars of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter – you'll be there in ten minutes flat on the city's iconic red streetcars.

And the Beat Goes On

This condo is ideally located in the Central Business District (CBD), an area of New Orleans that was originally known as Faubourg St. Marie. The world-famous French Quarter is just a short fifteen-minute walk from your door, offering entertainment, dining, bars, and music venues, in particular jazz clubs for which New Orleans is well known. Whether you choose to take in the sounds of Bourbon Street or enjoy a meal with great background music, is entirely up to you. What’s more, your neighbourhood also boasts some of the country’s premier music venues, vibrant nightlife, and fine dining establishments, so you won’t have to go far to find great venues.

Take an evening stroll by the cathedral, which is twenty-seven minutes away on the tram, visit the House of Blues – reachable in twenty-two minutes, or even take a steamboat ride up the Mississippi River – which can be reached on the tram within twenty-seven minutes. 

In the late afternoons, why not take a dip in the complex’s swimming pool, curl up on the sofa with a good book, or spend some time people-watching from your balcony. Then, head out for dinner and spend the evening listening to incredible musicians and enjoying the colourful nightlife.
