About this bed and breakfast
Located in the funky Bywater neighborhood (2 miles from the French Quarter), this OWNER OCCUPIED inn is just far enough off the beaten track to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of New Orleans without the commotion of Bourbon Street. To elaborate, my husband and I live in the front part of the house which is completely separate from the individual, private suites. We are around if our guests need anything but we also completely stay out of the way, respecting privacy, allowing you to enjoy our property.
The Lookout Inn includes FOUR individually themed, large suites, each with their own generous private bathrooms: Mardi Gras, Bollywood, Elvis and Mission. The price you see listed is for all 4 suites. Each suite is complete with a queen sized bed; 3 of the 4 suites also include sleeper sofas. (The Mardi Gras Suite does NOT have a sleeper sofa.) Suites are also complete with complimentary wifi, smart TVs, coffee makers and mini refrigerators.
There is NO kitchen OR indoor common area space, such as a living room or great room. The 4 suites are private and are arranged so they can each be rented independently. In ground pool, hot tub, BBQ and seating cabana are located in the lush outdoor, common area space. Street parking is available right outside the inn. It is free and there are no parking restrictions. Off-street parking is unavailable.
**Hot tub closed mid-May through mid-September
We are dog friendly, with a $40 per dog fee. Dogs must be housebroken, on regular flea prevention and non-aggressive. Bulldogs stay for free. :)
This eclectic inn is the perfect accommodation for a couples getaway, family vacation/reunion, ladies weekends and for a convenient staycation. Responsible bachelor and bachelorette groups are welcome. Please contact us with information on your group and we will also provide you with the house rules and conditions.
Enjoy a laid back atmosphere filled with character and charm in this historic New Orleans neighborhood. Our location is approximately 2 miles from the edge of the French Quarter and about 2.5 miles to the heart of Bourbon Street, and is the perfect distance to a ride a bike into town or take the No. 88 bus which picks up three blocks away.
At The Lookout Inn, we know your vacation time is precious and we want to make it as convenient and enjoyable as possible. Let us take the planning leg work off your plate. We are happy to make restaurant reservations for your group, as well as tour reservations. We highly recommend Cajun Encounters and Gray Line Tours for a variety of city and swamp tours. Let us make your reservation. We are also happy to stock the cabana for you ahead of your visit. Order your groceries and booze from one of the many services available nowadays and we'll receive your order and set it all up! Do you love Amazon Prime as much as we do? Send us your decorations or any other celebratory items, gift bags, etc ahead of time and we can store them until you arrive. Being an owner occupied inn, we go above and beyond.

The group had a great stay at the lookout inn. The decor is fantastic in every room. It flows well into the back courtyard with plenty of room. Kelly is a great hostess and a wealth of information for tours and restaurants in the area. Check out Fairy village next to the cabana. It is believed that King Rex royal Fairy visits during Mardi Gras! Thanks, Jeff

The location was great! Very easy in and out of Riverfront, Bourbon Street, etc. The outside pool area was great for hanging out and we didn’t miss having a true inside living space. The rooms were gigantic and it was easy to hang out in any of the “sitting areas”. I know a lot of the reviews mentioned the giant empty building close to the property and I’ve got to say it didn’t feel uncomfortable at all! It has tight security and zero homeless issues in it. Maybe due to the proximity of the Navy ships docked right there? The Jack Dempsey restaurant right nearby was delicious! And we never had any trouble with street parking at all! Overall it was a great stay!

Our family really enjoyed our time at this property. The suites gave us all the space we needed as well as time together. Each room is decorated in a unique way that fit well with all the personalities in our family. Only downside for us was the train that came through the area being very loud and the abandoned building behind the house. However, this property had plenty of security measures in place and the rental owners were fantastic hosts.
