Wow. what a fantastic place to stay. Words and photos just don't do it justice. Mary and Hugh are just awsome, they are the perfect hosts: knowledgeable, helpful and affable, there when you need them, yet unobtrusive, and they have Banana Courtyard running like a beautiful antique clock. We (3 adults) stayed in the Hexagon room for 9 nights during... More

My girlfriends and I just returned from a 5-day stay to NOLA (this is my 4th trip). Our stay at Banana made this trip the best ever! Banana Courtyard is a funky, fun house on N.Rampart. This house is filled with all kinds of memorabilia. Hugh and Mary, the owners, are 2 of the nicest people you'd ever want to... More

My fiancee and I have stayed at the Banana Courtyard twice in the last year. The inn keepers, Hugh and Mary, are amazing and each have a wealth of local information that can guide your trip to make it an amazing one. The rooms vary greatly - we've stayed in the Hexagon and Balcony rooms, thus far - both had... More

Four of us visited from London and absolutely loved it! Loved the characterful decor and all of the antiques, Mary walked us along to help us get our bearings, and Stanley picking us up from the airport was a massive help. Found the locaction really good to get around. Breakfast was tasty and abundant! All of the staff were very... More

Have been to Banana Courtyard a number of times and would not consider staying anyplace else. Mary and Hugh have become great friends and my husband and daughter and I so at home when we are there. Staff is always helpful and in great spirits. I cannot leave out Stanley and "Mrs Stanley" from Lanes Cab who pick us up... More

I found this B&B online by typing in "haunted New Orleans bed and breakfast" because I was traveling to NOLA with the purpose of researching the local voodoo, paranormal, and magical culture of the city for a novel I am writing. I wanted to feel like I was in a real New Orleans house, and I wanted to be inspired... More

We are a Couple in our mid-twenties. First time to NOLA and first time staying at a B&B. We stayed in the Hexagon room which was large and beautiful with a gigantic bathroom! The bed was super comfortable. The whole trip was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Banana Courtyard! Thank you for the hospitality!

We were 10 people and had 5 rooms, from quite small to very large. A charming mansion dating back to 1850s and furnished in antiques and vintage items. Our host and hostess, Hugh and... More

We made a family vacation trip to New Orleans in March, and stayed at the 1870 Banana Courtyard B & B--we occupied most of the bedrooms in the main house. It could not have been better. Wonderful innkeepers and support staff, charming period decor, and an excellent Continental breakfast--which changed each day. Many helpful suggestions were given to us; the... More
