Green House Inn

New Orleans


The house’s striking color – a tropical rubber-tree green – certainly stands out on a still-gentrifying section of Magazine St, near the Warehouse District. Things stay green within the landscaped pool and garden (clothing optional), which is surrounded by palms and exotic blooms. Though named after flowers, the guest rooms are far from delicate, with clean lines, hardwood floors and exposed brick.

Booking ahead is preferred, and walk-ups are not accepted. There’s a $25 one-time fee for pets, and minimum-night requirements are often enforced. Prices include breakfast.
