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 and antique shops around the city. 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 you will find that place with us.
We
invite you to spend your mornings, afternoons, and evenings relaxing on the deck—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, you can cool off outside before retiring to your private,
air conditioned room and a good night's sleep in one of our comfy queen-size
beds.
For those not familiar with staying at a b&b, we are not a hotel. Although we live on the premises, we are not available 24/7. It's a lot like staying at a friend's home. Just as a friend lets you make your own bed—if you choose to—we leave it up to you. We ask our guests to reuse towels and washcloths during their stay, like they would at home, unless they're here for six or seven days. For many of our guests, this is the enjoyment of staying in a b&b rather than a hotel: it's like staying with friends.
Our Rooms
Chez Palmiers (House of Palms) offers 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, as well as open access to the dining room leading to the pool. A continental breakfast is available each morning including yogurt, fruit, cereals, breads, juices 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. (By city ordinance, B&B's our size are not permitted to serve prepared meals.)
The
Grande Suite
The Grande Suite offers
roomy accommodations with a bedroom and large bathroom with vanity area. This
charming suite includes the amenities mentioned above, a closet, and sitting
room with a sofa and chairs. 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 two 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, with interior shutters, 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 remodeled with new tile, lighting, and a wardrobe closet. The
kitchen is just one door away, and the deck 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 deck.
Comfortably 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.
