Best Hotels in Treme

Rathbone Mansions

Treme borders the French Quarter in New Orleans; no wonder so many jazz bars spill onto its streets. Just like its neighbour Marigny, it's an area steeped in history, featuring plenty of 19th-century townhouses, although Treme has its own unique African-American heritage too, best seen in its traditional Creole houses. This in turn means there are great soul food spots! The best hotels in Treme reflect its unique heritage, which is why our selection includes a renovated police station and a couple of Antebellum mansions which are perfect for history buffs and couples alike.

For history buffs

Inn at the Old Jail

  • The Inn at the Old Jail is perfect for anyone who is interested in local history. A renovated 19th-century police station and jail in the heart of Treme, the nine elegant rooms come with original police memorabilia, exposed brick and classic French furnishings. Better still, there's a stylish piano room and rooftop deck. Truly atmospheric.
  • Cpmprising two Antebellum mansions facing each other along Esplanade Avenue, Rathbone Mansions is another terrific historic stay, featuring wrought-iron balconies, contemporary suites, a pool and hot tub. Stunningly renovated historic properties for those seeking some plush southern hospitality!
