Fodor's Expert Review Ashton's Bed & Breakfast

2023 Esplanade Ave., New Orleans, Louisiana, 70116, USA

Few details have been overlooked in this sumptuous 1861 mansion, where distinctively decorated guest rooms have a range of beds, including iron-frame, Shaker, and four-poster. A full breakfast includes such treats as bananas-Foster waffles, eggs Benedict, and sweet-potato French toast. Fresh-baked goods and snacks are replenished throughout the day. The common parlor has a selection of great books, and the back garden is intimate and quiet. Rooms have flat-screen TVs, and some have whirlpool tubs.
