Don't Settle for Tourist New Orleans
This is the Real New Orleans You're Looking For
Welcome to Esplanade Ridge
La Belle Esplanade sits at 2216 Esplanade Avenue, in the heart of "Esplanade Ridge" — a colorful, historic stretch of New Orleans, LA lined with whimsical gingerbread manor homes. Our boutique hotel is the orange house in the middle of the block; you can't miss it.
We are close enough to the French Quarter for easy access, yet firmly planted in a real residential neighborhood where people have chosen to do more than visit.

This Is the New Orleans You Came For
Our location is in the thick of it all with Mardi Gras Indian parades, second lines, the Crescent City Classic 10k road race, all of it passes by our front door or nearby.
Our neighborhood is packed with things to see and experience — You never know what pleasant thing you'll find when you turn a corner.
A Small Hotel in A Colorful Mansion
A Room As Unique as You
The Perfect HQ for Your Authentic New Orleans Adventure
We only have five suites, and every one of them is bigger than a New York City apartment, a lot of San Francisco apartments, too. Every room is a different color. Every ceiling is a different color. New Orleans is a city of stories, and every room in La Belle Esplanade is full of whimsical artifacts and stories to accompany them. Each suite includes a private bath with a clawfoot tub equipped with a shower, a bedroom (naturally), a private sitting room, and a private balcony. As a small hotel in a colorful mansion, we have all the amenities you should expect. Additionally, as a very small operation, we are usually around. But you will not usually be here. You will be out exploring, making the kind of authentic New Orleans memories that only happen when you stay somewhere real.
