Fleur De Lis Mansion

Burn it down and rebuild!! We booked this on Airbnb and the photographs, and the descriptions do not match the facility. It is not clean light fixtures do not work, there is filth and dirt everywhere, and overall disappointment doesn't even begin to express how we feel about being here. We realize it is an historical house however it is not what was advertised. After driving nine hours from Virginia to stay in this place, we feel we deserve a full and complete refund as well as an apology.

We rented the entire B&B for my husband's naval retirement over New Year's Day. The house was old world yet so chic! It has so much character. It is a close drive to anything you may need like Walmart, convention center, French quarter, etc. While it does not have state of the art amenities, there are a lot of other things it does have. Plenty of places to congregate and enjoy each others company with conversation starters all around. We made many memories in this house and are grateful for the experience. Word of caution, it is an old house. If you travel during winter, some showers run cold to warm water. The river room had the hottest shower. We stayed in the room with the outside shower and it was cold. We used it but it was because we needed to wake up! We all enjoyed the experience and it will be one we will never forget!

Those pictures on this page is a LIE! This place looks nothing like that!! How can you call this place a mansion with a full size bed in a dorm room!!! beds that look like a fat person has laid in it and it's has a big dip in the mattress, no hot water period!!! Other people hair on the lamps, rugs, and bath towels!!! The building looks ruin down, the state of New Orleans need to shut that mess down! You have a spa/ pool area over the top of a bridge with a homeless camp right in the back yard across the street!! The refrigerator was nasty looking in cleaning it! The back stairs was a hazard risk , hell the whole building could have fallen down! Do not trust your money, time or energy on this building!! You are better staying at a nice hotel to get your money worth!

I would give negative stars if I could. This place is more of a bad hostel than a mansion. We rented the entire thing through vrbo for a week. (Tried to leave a review there & they deleted the listing.) We immediately realized it was a polished turd. Even on the website, the neighbor is quoted at saying he didn't think it was possible to bring it back after a fire & storm damage. Well, they didn't, really. There's 20 layers of paint over each other & they don't even bother to dust places. There were cigarettes in the hot tub, the wooden floors that were not replaced were very sticky with years of grime & left your feet black immediately. The day we left one of the rooms thought we had a late check out. They were an hour late leaving, and we were charged for ALL of the rooms for an extra night. Cost us an extra $3,500. Another friend twisted his ankle because there's uneven and frankly, unsafe angles. The entire upstairs porch is slanted, and there were no railings in high places. Things leak, there's cockroaches & it shares the back fence with a huge homeless camp under the bridge. They just throw their trash over the back fence. We also had to buy our own cleaning supplies. I have photo evidence of all of this, but I need to look through my photos. I'll update with photos soon.

We were so enamored by our whole stay at this gorgeous B&B. Even before we arrived we were excited with the place, because you get a super handy text with all the information you need to access the front gate, your room, the wifi, the kitchen and the theater. So useful!

Every part of Fleur de Lis is gorgeously decorated with tons of style and attention to detail! The Grand Kitchen where you have breakfast and the nightly (complementary) wine happy hour is refined and beautiful (and when we stayed was colorfully decorated for a combination of Easter and Mardi Gras). The Mansion itself has a very cosy feel and the small number of rooms combined with the thickness of all of the greenery surrounding the place makes you feel like you've retreated into your own hidden slice of paradise!

We stayed in the River Suite, and I have to say, besides the rustic chic of the decor in the room itself (not to mention the whirlpool tub and three headed shower!) the best part of the whole experience was our bed. It was seriously the most comfortable bed we had ever slept in, and even after some late nights downtown, we awoke feeling refreshed and well rested every morning of our three night stay.

We will never stay anyplace else in New Orleans!

No amount of pictures will ever do this place justice!!! Holy MOLY! How stunning! My boyfriend and I travel for a living, so we've been to a lot of places and stayed in a ton of hotels and B&Bs, both in the US and overseas. This place, we will remember forever.

When check in time arrived, we received a text message from the property with the code to get in the gate, codes for our room, dining room, etc. The text also had Wi-Fi codes and other useful info. Very efficient.

We stayed in the Royal Suite, which features a private balcony with two rocking chairs, a small table and chair breakfast nook, and our own private huge stainless steel grill! You access the balcony, like you enter the house, through MASSIVE floor to ceiling windows, that pull up and you walk through them! So neat! There's also an OUTDOOR SHOWER, just outside the from door to the suite! Open air. For real!

The room itself is much bigger than it seems in the pictures. The bed is SUPER comfy, there is this MASSIVE couch with equally MASSIVE ottoman. There's a huge stainless steel, side by side fridge and freezer, tucked behind a door, and if that isn't enough refrigeration, there's a mini fridge as well. There's also a microwave, an a/c, a fan, a humidifier, an alarm clock, a sleep machine, and what they DON'T tell you anywhere is that this room has a HUGE projection screen that pulls down as your tv!! So cool! They also have surround sound, cable with every channel imaginable, and every premium channel on demand. Amazing.

The decor is rustic, beautiful, lush, and still yet, downright cozy.

If it's not enough that you have your own whirlpool tub in the room, (yeah you do!), why not go downstairs to the garden backyard and relax in one of the TWO hot tubs?!?!?

The backyard outdoor "common area" has a hot tub, huge patio grill area with fridge, freezer, ice maker, refreshments, lots of cute seating areas, decorative decorative flower beds in old claw foot bath tubs, ya know, the standard.

Now if that's not enough, walk back beyond that, past the indoor theater with leather sofas and massage chair, and head into the back room with the indoor hot tub and fridge refreshment station.

Now, don't forget about the BEAUTIFUL reception area that is the plush dining room, in our case, fabulously decorated for Christmas, even including a full size Christmas tree. Next to that is the Grand Kitchen, and boy is it!

They have serve yourself wine from 5-7 ish, which did also include vodka, mixers and even a couple of beer and ciders. All complimentary. Thank you, we will!

I'm the morning they serve breakfast, for that second "B" of the "& B." Haven't had it yet, but I feel certain it'll be stellar too.

So, basically, I'm never leaving. I live here now. The end.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location isn't in the French Quarter if that's what you're looking for but we loved the fact that it was not in the French Quarter. We able to escape all the craziness in and around Bourbon Street. Also with Uber and Lyft it was easy to get to and from the French Quarter for less than $10.

We stayed in the Jazz Room which was a lot of fun and the decor was beautiful. Just a couple small things is that the bathroom didn't have a door only a curtain which could be slightly awkward.

I also agreed with one of the reviews which mentioned the breakfast feeling slightly lacking.

Overall though it was a great time and I would recommend.

Old haunted bordello. Unique stay. Walking distance to convention center and hipster restaurants on Camp St. I think I was the only guest because I didn't see anyone else at breakfast, happy hour or checkin/out. It was also midweek in September, too. Lucky me because all the beer and wine at happy hour was mine mine mine.

Stayed in the Red Room which you can enter through a door next to the fridge in the main kitchen. I was not happy to see that one of the approved smoking areas was right outside the Red Room window. They put an ashtray on a little bistro cafe set so people could potentially light up all day and night blowing 2nd hand smoke into your room. Ugh. It wasn't an issue because I didn't see anyone else plus I hid the ashtray.

I surprised my husband for his birthday with a one night stay @ the Fleur De Lis Mansion and it was AMAZING!! We stayed in the white room and fell in love with not only our room but the entire mansion. Their attention to detail shows that they thought of everything and have executed it perfectly. Let me add that Lisa was very nice, helpful, welcoming and professional!

We are locals but will definitely have more visits to the mansion and absolutely spread the word about this hideaway in the city.

Last night we stayed in the Jazz room.

We had originally booked the Hollywood bungalow but when we arrived apparently there was confusion and somebody was already there. They did not have our reservation available and took several minutes looking through email to find it, despite having booked a couple weeks in advance. We were moved to the Jazz room and were fairly disappointed by the switch.

The property itself is beautiful and full of southern charm. Immediately outside the property many, many homeless live under the bridge/overpass and can be easily seen from the windows.

Our bed was incredibly squeaky and soft. The side I slept on had a giant indentation as well. Both my husband and I woke up feeling incredibly sore. The cable was spotty and tweaked in and out as we tried to watch the NBA playoff game.

Although the ambience was lovely, we did not feel particularly safe in the area and the terribly uncomfortable bed made it difficult to sleep well.

We liked the concept of the mansion but probably wouldn't recommend it or stay again. The pictures online look much more exquisite than in actuality.
