After days filled with jazz, flavor, and celebration, come home to your own peaceful oasis—where a lush garden courtyard, private entrances, and over 400 five-star TripAdvisor reviews make Chimes one of the most beloved places to stay in New Orleans. Close to the city’s iconic events, yet tucked just far enough away to enjoy a quiet, comfortable night’s sleep.

"I have stayed at several places in New Orleans over the years, and after my stay at Chimes B&B, I will never choose to go anywhere else. If you want a quiet, safe area to stay in the Upper Garden District, then this is the right house."
