Staying at the Ursuline Guest House is more like a visit to the family home, staying with that crazy, old aunt who loves life and the joys it brings. If one is looking for fancy and ritzy this would not be the right place. Life is right outside your door â€” the enticing, exciting night-life of New Orleans; the unique daytime shopping at art galleries and antique stores on Royal Street; the best Creole, Cajun, French and Italian restaurants â€” itâ€™s all here â€” and the Ursuline Guest House is in the very heart of it all!<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>It is impossible to talk about the rooms of Ursuline Guest House without acknowledging the history of New Orleans. Just as the antiquity of New Orleans sits squarely in the center of this modern city, with an eclectic mix of old and new sharing the same space, so too do the rooms of the Ursuline Guest House. Our accommodations are steeped in the history of this region. For example, rooms 7 through 12 are the former slave quarters behind the main house, their history forever a part of the plaster and brick of the walls. You cannot help but imagine what life must have been like in the mid-1700â€™s, when Ursuline Guest House was, even then, a magnificent example of Creole culture. The French Quarter was a bustling hub of commerce, and the streets just outside the door were filled with all types of people, from sailors, pirates, and revolutionaries to fine ladies, courtly gentleman, and proud quadroons.<br/><br/>MARIE LAVEUA DOCUMENTED PROPRIETER<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>The courtyard of each historic structure was the private recluse of the proprietor â€” a personal sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of this thriving, decadent city, and a cool retreat on a hot summer afternoon. The courtyard of Ursuline Guest House awaits you today, with the added benefits of a hot tub and our daily wine-and-cheese hour, further enhancing your relaxing escape. Itâ€™s a great place to enjoy your continental breakfast, beginning your day with a pleasant breeze, alluring greenery, and the musical sounds of birds chirping in the trees.<br/><br/>We welcome you to the accommodations of the Ursuline Guest House to enjoy experiences both old and new in the Crescent City!<br/><br/><br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://www.ursulineguesthouse.com/">http://www.ursulineguesthouse.com/</a>m<br/><br/>Oh, brother, just what this town needed.
