Welcome to Chez Palmiers Bed and Breakfast

Your New Orleans Home Away From Home

Chez Palmiers is the expression of its owners' love for New Orleans and their desire to be part of this great city's recovery.

Located in the historic Faubourg Marigny just two blocks from the French Quarter and four blocks from Frenchman Street (popular with the neighborhood's locals), you'll be within easy walking distance of many of the sites, restaurants, bars and clubs, and the characters and music that have made New Orleans famous. Public transportation is not far way, making it easy to explore other parts of the city as well.

Owner operators Schuyler Hoffman and David Peterson invite you to relax and enjoy your stay in New Orleans in their traditional Creole Cottage. Originally built in the late 1800's, it was renovated in the mid 1990's. What we have tried to create is a home, not just bedrooms for guests—it is, after all, our home. Furnishings are a mix of some of our favorite antiques and newer things—interesting pieces we find at yard sales, hidden antique shops, and such. Each room contains personal photographs and artwork, and memorabilia and chatkas we've accumulated and carried around with us over the years. Everyone looking for a bed and breakfast looks for a place that fits their personality, a place they'll be comfortable in for more than just sleeping each night. We hope many of you will find that place with us.

We invite you to spend your mornings, afternoons, and evenings on the deck by the pool—although we often find ourselves chatting with guests in the kitchen. Following a day of touring around the city, shopping in the French Quarter and on Magazine Street, visiting the famous Audubon Zoo and Aquarium, or after an evening of dining and nightlife, dangle your tired feet in the water or go for a swim and cool off before retiring to your private, air conditioned room and a good night's sleep in one of our comfy queen-size beds.

The Rooms

Chez Palmiers (House of  Palms) offers three different rooms, all with queen beds, private baths, and in-room amenities to make your stay with us more enjoyable. You'll have your own TV and air conditioner, a mini-fridge as well as open access to the kitchen and dining room leading to the pool. A continental breakfast is available each morning including yogurt, fruit, cereals, breads, juice and coffee. An espresso machine is available for those who crave a latté or café au lait. We also offer free, secure WIFI Internet access and a shared house phone (calls throughout the United States are free). (By city ordinance, B&B's are not permitted to serve prepared meals.)

The Grande Suite

The Grande Suite offers roomy accommodations with one-bedroom, large bathroom with vanity area, and a separate sitting room. This charming suite includes the amenities mentioned above, a closet, and sitting room with a sofa sleeper. You'll be able to enjoy your breakfast in private, or relax and watch TV comfortably in the serenity of this personal space. The Grande Suite sleeps one to four people. Rates and reservations below.

The Blah Blah Room

Located on the first floor...The Blah Blah room! You'll dream the night away comfortably in your bed, cooled by the in-room air conditioner. You can unwind watching TV in bed or from the sitting chairs in the room. There's an antique secretary, perfect for your laptop and catching up on emails—telling your friends how great Chez Palmiers is. The single window ensures you'll be able to sleep as long as you like with as little light intrusion as possible. The bathroom for this room was recently remodeled with new tile, lighting, and a wardrobe closet. The kitchen is just one door away, and the pool easily accessible through the common dining room. The Blah Blah room accommodates one to two guests. Rates and reservations below.

The Loft Suite

This upstairs space has been transformed into a roomy, private suite. Enjoy breakfast in your room, or join other guests in the dining room or on the poolside deck. Freshly furnished and decorated, the Loft Suite offers you the space and privacy you deserve after a long day of site seeing. The unique writing secretary provides room for your laptop or stationary. You can read through all the tourist pamphlets while relaxing in the separate sitting area. The conversation area, with drop-leaf table, provides the space to share your morning coffee with your companion. The additional sitting area has room for you to stretch out and relax (or accommodate and additional friend) without having to lay on the bed. The Loft can accommodate one to three guests. (The bathroom has a shower, no tub.) Rates and reservations below.
