The Bywater Bed and Breakfast is a traditional New Orleans-style "double shotgun" - a one-story Victorian cottage with the usual "painted lady" multi-colors and trim. Its exterior walls are raspberry with white trim, pink detailing, and navy blue shutters. It is furnished with contemporary and antique furniture and a collection of Louisiana art.

The public rooms, which all guests may use, include a double front parlor with a growing library of books about New Orleans and a CD collection of Louisiana music, a sitting room, a room with videos and a television set, and a dining room where the daily continental breakfast is served. All guests are most welcome to spend time in all these public rooms and, of course, may choose to relax in their own private spaces. Louisiana art decorates every room. We provide guide books and other sources of tourist information, and weekly magazines such as Offbeat that describe "what's happening" around town. We try to keep up with new restaurants, and have a collection of restaurant menus so guests can get a foretaste of what is being served.

The back porch and patio are pleasant for reading, conversation, or just relaxing. There is a porch swing and chairs, ceiling fans, a large black bear (carved by Ivy Billiot), gardens, and a lily pond with a fountain. A tin roof covers the porch and provides afternoon shade.

Our Neighborhood

Bordered by the Mississippi River at its foot and the Intercoastal Industrial Canal at its downriver (sort of eastern) flank, this water proximity explains how 'Bywater' got its name. Now a National Historic District about one mile from the Esplanade side of the French Quarter, the neighborhood is mostly working class and multiracial. It is growing ever more popular with gays and lesbians, artists, musicians, crafts people, professionals, transplants from other regions, and others who appreciate the diversity and sense of community in the neighborhood.

We are home to the exciting and beautiful new campus of the New Orleans Center for Contemporary Arts; Studio Inferno, which makes hand blown glassware; the pottery and sculpture at AB Jackson Designs; Fountainview Industries, which creates steel and cast iron for homes and gardens; and the work and sales space of outsider artist "Dr. Bob" Schaffer, famous for his "Be Nice or Leave" signs; other galleries and studios have recently opened in Bywater, with our main street, St. Claude Avenue, hosting several new art and photography. Bywater also holds an Art Market on the third Saturday of every month.
