We had a wonderful stay at the Audubon. Shaun is amazing! He made sure our stay was enjoyable. We loved the atmosphere and the vibe the place offered. The cottage was extremely comfortable and felt like home. Beautiful courtyard!

This stay became one of the highlights for us in New Orleans. We were so stunned by the history of these cottages that were once the studios and houses of Audubon. The location is walking distance to all prime locations in the French Quarters. If you get a hold of Mr.Jeffrey just ask him where to eat. No one I met more passionate about the kitchens in New Orleans. Mr.Shaun was helping us with the room and everything we needed. A lot of our stay was us being grateful to the space and absorbing the rich history of the city. Hope to stay here again.

We can't say enough wonderful things about the Cottages. Small, intimate and relatively quiet despite the proximity to Bourbon Sreet. Sean is amazing, responsive and full of good recommendations and suggestions. It's well worth the price. The daily room service and amenities are terrific. Just be sure to shut the locked gate quietly when you go in and out! Perhaps a polite reminder could be posted!

A Hidden Gem in the French Quarter The Audubon Cottages are a charming little gem tucked right in the heart of the French Quarter—absolutely perfect in every way. From the moment you arrive, it feels less like a hotel and more like coming home. The cottages are beautiful, peaceful, and full of character, offering that rare blend of history, comfort, and intimacy that’s hard to find in New Orleans. What truly sets the experience apart is Sean, the most amazing host you could ever hope for. His warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality make you feel instantly welcomed and cared for. It’s rare to find someone who can make a place feel so personal and effortless, but Sean does just that. If you’re looking for a stay that combines the magic of New Orleans with the comfort of home, look no further—this is the spot.

We’ve been coming to the Quarter for years and thought we’d seen it all but wow, wow, WOW, a hidden gem perfectly located, a literal paradise. Intimate, luxurious, quiet, and Shawn and Anthony made our stay even better. We will ONLY be staying here at the Audubon Cottages from here on out. Thank you guys!!!!!!

Communication could be better as far as check-in/out information. The rooms were clean and stocked with beverages. The pool house was nice. Beautifully landscaped, safe, private and centrally located— walking distance to all sites ( a few blocks away from Cafe Du Monde). Public parking is conveniently located on Rampert St.

Recently stay at Audubon Cottages and it was a great experience. Private cottage with a small patio steps away from the heated pool. Our butler Sean was top notch. In the heart of the French Quarter, but tucked away from all the excitement. I highly recommend stay stay here, you won't be sorry.

Our stay at this unique hotel in the French Quarter was absolutely unforgettable. The hotel perfectly blends rich history with a secluded, peaceful atmosphere—truly the best of both worlds. Despite being just steps away from the excitement of the Quarter, it felt like a hidden retreat. One of the highlights was the gorgeous pool, which was heated—a fantastic touch that our children absolutely loved. The charm, ambiance, and overall experience made this hotel feel like a home away from home. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else on our next trip to New Orleans! Highly recommend.

Absolutely adore this place! The service was impeccable and the location was awesome! Only a block from bourbon but it was pretty quiet considering. We brought our 9 month old with us and she was able to sleep perfectly during the day and at night. The maid service was so helpful and Jeremy one of the managers (I think) was so great with recommendations and fun conversation. The pool with chilly but thats to be expected for March. We plan to come back next year with our moms. They’ll love it at this location, I just know it. Spacious rooms with mini bars and amazing water pressure in the shower. Highly recommend!

If I could leave a 10 star review I would. My wife and I have visited New Orleans at least once a year for the last ten years or so, and Audubon Cottages has been the best experience ever. The grounds are gorgeous, the Cottages beautiful and comfortable, the location is perfect, and the staff is the most hospitable group to work with. As an example, we left a souvenir in our cottage when we checked out and Shawn the property manager found our souvenir and personally took it to FedEx to have it mailed back home to us. For him to do this tells you the kind of service we received from Audubon Cottages. And a special recognition to Wilma who was everywhere and helped us with all our daily needs. Truly an amazing experience. I believe that my wife and I have found the perfect place to stay the next time we visit New Orleans.
