About this bed and breakfast
The Engine 24 French Quarter Firehouse provides a distinctive Bed & Breakfast experience, allowing guests to stay in an authentic, historically significant firehouse that has been elegantly modernized. Nestled in the lively Faubourg Marigny, celebrated as one of America's premier neighborhoods, it neighbors the historic French Quarter and the fashionable Bywater district, renowned for its superb local eateries and vibrant bars. This bed & breakfast, once a fire station, has been converted into a warm haven for tourists and locals alike, offering a deep dive into New Orleans' cultural richness. The building, which historically housed Engine 24 of the New Orleans Fire Department, was purchased and renovated by local architect William Sonner in the 2000s, and it has since emerged as a popular vacation rental in the city. The Firehouse features seven bedrooms: three loft bedrooms on the Main Floor, two in the courtyard, and two in the Penthouse, presented as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite with a complete kitchen, laundry facilities, and dining and living spaces. Each bedroom is equipped with a private, full bathroom and provides a unique lodging experience. The Firehouse includes a large lobby filled with seating, a billiards table, various games, and a library. Guests have access to a kitchenette stocked with a selection of coffees and teas, as well as a water cooler, microwave, toaster, and fridge. The delightful New Orleans courtyard, featuring a fountain and outdoor seating, is also available for guests' enjoyment. Please note that the Firehouse is a lodging facility situated in a residential neighborhood.
