FAIRCHILD HOUSE ^{* * *}

Stayed there the week of Mardi Gras this year and would highly recommend it. Beautiful room, friendly hosts and a great location

My husband and I stayed at the Fairchild House in February and had a wonderful time. After 10+ years of staying in Airbnb's, we decided to pivot back to traditional B&Bs, after agreeing that Airbnbs have become over-priced and lost the personalized charm that they once had when the company first started. Thankfully we found all the charm, hospitality & local touches that we were looking for at the Fairchild House!

The building itself is a huge, stunning, historic home in the heart of NOLA's Garden District. After exploring the city for a weekend, we agreed that the Garden District is the best neighbourhood in the city; even better than the French Quarter! You can spend hours strolling through the tree lined streets, admiring the historic, well-preserved homes and having a meal or a drink at some local spots. Our bedroom was modest, but very comfortable with a private bathroom. It was well-priced and exactly what we were looking for. The breakfast was a highlight! The dining room is spacious and well-lit and there are tons of food options to choose from. On the weekend, we were treated to homemade waffles & crepes from Beatrice and Darrell. All the staff at Fairchild House were absolutely wonderful and a pleasure to chat with.

I would 100% recommend Fairchild House to anyone looking to visit NOLA and enjoy a local experience in a historic home. I would not recommend it to someone who prefers to stay in sterile hotels and watch TV all day; that's what the Hilton is for!

Thank you to Beatrice, Darrell, Ross and the cleaning staff for making our stay at the Fairchild House comfortable and a highlight of our trip to NOLA!

I have never stayed at a place with such exceptional service, and such a beautiful building! The beds were amazing, and I slept better than I have in years! So much more great things to say, but still on my trip, so I will update later. Excellent experience and location!

What a lovely place to stay! It took me longer than usual to decide on my accomodation in NOLA. I wanted to be close to the French Quarter as I love to explore cities on foot. There are several hostels and hotels in that area, some of them even for a reasonable price - but they all charged at least an additional $25 for a parking lot/day which I was not willing to pay. So when I found this little B&B and saw that they offer a gated parking lot and are in walking distance to most highlights in town for an acceptable price I took my chances and was not disappointed. I love old buildings with high ceilings, and this B&B is from ca 1841. Bed was comfortable, breakfast was great and there's a nice backyard to hang out. Staff was fantastic and truly, this is one of the few hotels in the US where I wouldn't mind to stay for more then two nights. Trust Google Maps to guide you as there is no fancy sign showing you that you ended up at the right place ????

Excellent communication and customer service from check-in staff. Days before our arrival I received a text asking about arrival time. I was unsure since we were driving but I knew it would be 9 or later. We ran into a lot of road delays that pushed us to a midnight check in, well past their 10pm closing time. The staff was incredibly understanding and accommodating.
