Real gaslamps greet you at Sweet Emma's Hideaway, an award-winning restoration, the only property in NOLA designated a "Flagship Vacation Property," honoring the groundbreaking black female 1st bandleader of Preservation Hall.
As you open the front door, discover how 13-foot ceilings downstairs allowed installation of balconies and shutters inside to bring the French Quarter right into the living room, and an art-deco bar and pool table create a Flapper-Era New Orleans Billiards Club!
Gilded candelabras highlight elegant a dining space that could accommodate a Royal Feast. The professionally-equipped aspiring-chef’s kitchen features modern appliances seamlessly integrated with 1920’s art deco throwbacks. Before you do any cooking, take the quick walk to Rouse’s market, a NoLa landmark, which specializes in providing the newest recipes and accompanying ingredients from all of New Orleans’ world-renown chefs.
The downstairs bedroom is well-separated and sound-insulated, with its own en-suite full bath. A ½-bath downstairs serves common area guests and another ½-bath serves the garden courtyard with covered patio, five-burner outdoor grill/wetbar, pool, jacuzzi, gas firepit, and lounge and bistro seating. Don’t forget to pick up some grill-worthy gulf prawns while you’re at Rouse’s!
Back inside, the butterfly staircase leads to 12-foot ceilings upstairs, a reading nook with coffee/tea station, and desk space with ultra high-speed internet. Four bedrooms on the upper floor (and the bedroom downstairs as well) are adorned with jacquard-sateen comforters, 800 thread-count sheets, and featherbed toppers over firm mattresses creating sleeping comfort our guests refer to as “the cocoon.” The upstairs bedrooms all have direct access to full, oversized bathrooms. Architecturally-unique 10-foot bottom-slide windows from two of the bedrooms open to the full-width balcony, where you can sip your mint julep shaded by a 100-year-old Oak tree.
Intentionally chosen for its ideal location—Less than 10 minutes’ walk to the French Quarter, Superdome, National WWII Museum, Cruise Terminal, Convention Center, Riverboat Jazz Brunches, Harrah’s Casino, the Aquarium of the Americas, Mardi Gras World, just to name a few, surrounded by so many top restaurants within 2 blocks that you may never even get on the St Charles Streetcar (1 block away from the house)—but on a quiet street allowing peaceful repose after an eventful day or in preparation for a night-on-the-town, Sweet Emma’s Ragtime Royale honors the first bandleader of Preservation Hall, Sweet Emma Barrett, simultaneous breaker of color and gender barriers in music history, with her photos reverently displayed astride the record player.
Ample free parking always available right in front.
