My wife and I spent a week at the Whitney House recently while I was at a conference In New Orleans. We rented the solarium, which is in the front of the house on the second floor, has a large porch, and consists of three rooms with very nice bedroom and bed. Plenty of room to have a small party...

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights the end of February 2013. The house is beautiful with many antiques, the bedrooms were comfortable and the hospitality was great. The owners are helpful at helping you organize tours, find your way around, and make you feel at home. We had a great time and met some wonderful people that... More

Wife and I stayed over the New Year of 2012. The hosts are very welcoming and the breakfasts were excellent. If you are up early and have to get out for something, there is always something that you can make for yourself for dinner, or if you wait until breakfast is served, you won't be dissappointed. The hot tub was... More

We stayed the entire week of our wedding last year in the adjoining bride and grooms rooms. It was myself, my then fiancé, my parents and our one and a half year old. After the wedding, my husband and I stayed at another hotel in the quarter for a "minimoon" while my patents stayed with our son for two nights.... More

We love it here! Glen and Randy are friendly and helpful, making sure we enjoyed everything we did. We were here in the spring of 2005 and were delighted to be remembered when we called for a return visit this year (2012). We will definitely be back!

We planned our trip to New Orleans, LA (NOLA) and then Hurricane Isaac presented his challenges. We were driving from Ohio and decided we'd proceed as planned and "roll with the punches." Electrical outages at the bed & breakfast were resolved by our check-in and we enjoyed five nights in the Bride's Room. The bed was the best … more... More

We really enjoyed our recent stay at the H H Whitney House on our first visit to New Orleans. This grand home has lots of charm and it is situated in a quiet neighbourhood within walking distance of the French Quarter. We really enjoyed our daily walks along the historic Esplanade. Guests are invited to relax in the parlor/sitting room... More

First of all, I cannot explain how thrilled I was with my stay at HH Whitney House! The personal touches and care you guys put into your B&B is obvious! For example: Randy called me a few days prior to my visit and we talked about my traveling alone. On my way down, I received a phone call from him... More
