Julep Days

Julep Days: Louisiana

Part of a shining new cluster of villas in Mid City, this New Orleans hideaway puts bars, restaurants and shops on your doorstep. The New Orleans Museum of Art is a leisurely half-hour stroll away, or you can hit the green and pedestrian cycle/walkway of Lafitte Greenway connecting you to Armstrong and City Park. The iconic French Quarter is less than ten minutes by car (or streetcar).

Families or groups of friends that enjoy socialising will appreciate the large, open living area. Striking velvet blue sofas sit against the lightwood floor and crisp white walls, drawing the eye as you enter. Choose to plot the day’s adventures at the sleek breakfast bar or the dining table and admire New Orleans themed artwork on the wall to get you in the mood to visit the French Quarter. The big range-style cooker in the kitchen will keep chefs of the group happy, while plush beds with tufted velvet headboards offer respite for those that like sound sleep.

There's outdoor space too, both shared and private. Pull up a chair on the private balcony and enjoy a mint julep at sundown, or head to the communal barebcue area beneath the pegola downstairs.
