Home is Where You Hang Your Mardi Gras Beads

z1xssnewo 003While in New Orleans, we stayed in the French Quarter at the Lamothe House, a Victorian hotel tucked in between old oak trees and within walking distance of Frenchman Street Jazz Clubs and the French Market.

z1fairhope 068The Lamoth House was built by a wealthy sugar cane plantation owner in 1839, with renovation improvements taking place in 1860.

With Old World charm and New World conveniences, the hotel lived up to its description and pictures on the internet.

I’m glad we didn’t learn that it was included in the local ghost tours and has a storied past of murder and suicide until after we had checked out.
