  • Introduction

    Come be our guest at Sully Mansion in the heart of the historic New Orleans’ Garden District. Surrounded by magnolias and live oaks, the neighborhood is filled with Greek revival mansions and nineteenth century villas. Our guests are just steps away by streetcar from the French Quarter, Central Business District, Loyola and Tulane Universities, Audubon Park, the shops and boutiques of Magazine Street, world-famous restaurants and music clubs. For Mardi Gras, guests are one block from the major parade route and the Jazz Fest venue is within easy reach. The Sully Mansion is the ideal Garden District location for that special vacation, university visits or romantic getaway to New Orleans.

    The historic mansion designed by Thomas Sully in 1890 has eight rooms, ranging from an intimate bedroom to large suites all with private baths. The inn has fourteen foot ceilings with original plaster medallions, wide pine plank flooring, a large wraparound porch, antiques and many other special touches which embody the grace and charm of a bygone era.

    Sully Mansion Bed and Breakfast, a unique combination of Southern hospitality, gracious
    accommodations and modern day conveniences. Come be our guest.

    “My family visits New Orleans every year, and Sully has become such a part of the NOLA experience that I can’t imagine visiting the city without it. The house is beautiful, the food and service excellent. I don’t believe you can find a better B&B in the city!” ~ TripAdvisor.com Review (Texas)

    Meet the Innkeepers

    Hurricane Katrina provided the opportunity for Guy and Nancy to realize their dream of operating a bed and breakfast in the city that they love. After years in marketing (Guy) and public service (Nancy) they relocated from Richmond Virginia to purchase and run the Sully Mansion in January 2006, taking tremendous pride in being a part of the rebuilding of a great city like New Orleans. Their son is a 2008 graduate of Tulane University and they enjoy sharing their experiences as part of the ‘Green Wave’ community with prospective Tulane students and parents.

    Nancy and Guy are closely attuned to what guests expect in a quality bed and breakfast stay. Their enjoyment of the culture, food and music of New Orleans coupled with a flair for personal service and warm hospitality is evident in all their interactions with their guests. Their goal is to help make each guest’s stay a special and memorable event. New Orleans is a city filled with hidden gems and Guy and Nancy truly enjoy sharing ‘insider’s information with their guests. Their dog, Gracie, serves as the official greeter and is happy to serve as the surrogate pet for those missing their furry friends left behind at home. If you need help planning your itinerary or a special night out, please ask and let your innkeepers help to make your trip be everything you want it to be.

    "A hot breakfast in a lovely dining room just at the bottom of the stairs was a delightful treat…. I had read good reviews of their meals and they did not disappoint. In addition to the hot entree, there was a great selection of fresh baked cakes, cereal, fruit, juices and smoothies. We especially enjoyed the oatmeal cake (yum)! Saturday we had Eggs Sardeaux accompanied by a spicy sausage and Sunday started us with baked French toast and bacon…. The mansion’s dining room was an excellent setting for all the guests to gather and tell stories on their historical weekend adventures. We felt like a big family by Monday!” ~ TripAdvisor.com Review
