Chez Palmiers B&B

A really lovely stay in New Orleans, love this B&Bs charm and warmth.

The quirkiness and coziness of this Bed and Breakfast are all part of its charm. Chez Palmiers host Betsy was gracious friendly and welcoming. Her sense of whimsy and joy extends throughout every element of the house - from food presentation to decor. There is a poolside mural on the fence that depicts the story of Chez Palmier - which she started with her late husband. Their love story is inspirational and shows in small intimate touches without intrusion.

I struggled a bit with the antique doors and keys, especially after an evening enjoying music and cocktails on Frenchmen Street, just steps away.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first time in New Orleans. We stayed at Betsy's B&B for 4 nights over New Years and it was wonderful. It's a little oasis just a 10 minutes walk from Frenchman Street area. We stayed in the British room which was impeccably decorated and nice space. The bed was really comfortable. We had a fridge and coffee maker in our room but also access to snacks and water at our leisure. Betsy greeted us with an offering of sparkling wine and was kind enough to let us check in earlier. She also gave us great recommendations to enjoy non touristy aspects of New Orleans. We felt right at home. It wasn't warm enough to use the pool but we would have if we were there in the warmer months. If you don't want to be in the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter but close enough to walk there and to Frenchmen Street jazz clubs, this is your place. We LOVED it. Betsy and her adorable dog Mabel are the best hosts! Highly recommend.

Nothing.

Coffee in coffee hot bottle is ok. One home made cake/bread/cookie (changes by day) is provided. Others are some cut fruits and cereal cups. Some fruits in a wire basket. We just picked a couple of small oranges. Banana and apples are not fresh. Hot water is provided in hot bottle. We didn't really read the prescription about the breakfast, though.

Breakfast. Shower unit is also too narrow I think. My wife and I are Chinese and also not big body built personnel.
