Some places invite you to look a little closer. At 730 Dumaine Street, the ironwork, brick, balconies, and courtyard tell a story that belongs to the French Quarter.

The Historic New Orleans Collection’s Vieux Carré Survey dates this townhouse and its neighboring buildings to around 1832, built by John Fitz Miller. The survey also records ownership by the German lawyer Christian Roselius between 1835 and 1849.

Today, French Quarter Mansion welcomes guests into nine distinctive suites. Two open onto the courtyard, four offer street balconies, two look toward the courtyard, and one sits above the Quarter with city views. Each offers its own way to feel at home here.

THE MANSION THROUGH THE YEARS

THE UNEEDA BISCUIT BUILDING

Our idea of hospitality begins with a sense of place. A morning coffee before the Quarter wakes. A courtyard pause between outings. An evening on the balcony as the neighborhood settles into its familiar rhythm.

The Mansion is a historic guesthouse with individually accessed suites. Its character comes with real details: upper-floor suites are reached by stairs, and each layout is different. Choose the suite that fits your stay, and let the rest unfold at a New Orleans pace.
