Inn at Houmas House | New Orleans, Louisiana | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

New Orleans, Louisiana

3 stars

Known as the Crown Jewel of Louisiana’s River Road, Inn at Houmas House, Plantation Country is an outstanding antebellum estate, bursting with southern charm. The set location of many a film and TV show, actors such as Bette Davis and Chevy Chase have filmed here, so it may well feel more than familiar to you! When you’re not sightseeing, spend some time at leisure in the gardens, home to an ancient oak alley and year-round blooms. The dramatic and inviting Fountain Courtyard is another popular gathering place for guests. Dining at Houmas House is not just a treat, it’s an experience. Latil’s Landing Restaurant in the French House is over 230 years old with original beamed ceilings, cypress mantels, wood burning fireplaces and original wood floors. Feast on gourmet cuisine served upon Limoge china, soaking up the grand atmosphere that prevails. For less formal meals there is Cafe Burnside, serving everything from healthy salads and fried oyster po-boys to filet mignon, washed down with a mint julep perhaps or a glass of wine served from the estates very own wine cellars.

“Fantastic home, gardens, and trees.”

Our docent was very personable and knowledgeable of the plantation history and families. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and area sites. The vast museum exhibits were great.

“Beautiful home and gardens”

Our tour guide Suzanna was amazing. She is very knowledgeable about the house. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour. This house is beautiful. Highly recommend this tour.

“A great pity”

First of all, I want to say what a fantastic place this is, beautiful, mesmerising, and full of potential for an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the lovely check in staff, who set the tone perfectly. Our room was stunning, with excellent facilities, and the porch with chairs was a particularly nice touch. The grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and the buildings themselves are truly thought provoking. We enjoyed drinks at the Turtle Bar, where the staff were friendly and attentive, and dined at the Carriage House. Although the service there felt a little rushed, the experience was still very pleasant, the wagyu filet mignon was superb. We also took part in the house tour, which was enjoyable, though it felt somewhat short and lacked deeper insight into the lives of the people who worked on the estate. That additional context would have made it even more educational. Overall, it was a lovely two day stay that would have easily warranted a 4/5 rating. Unfortunately, our experience was let down at the end by an interaction at the Dixie Café. A staff member, Claire, made me feel quite unwelcome. I would suggest that some additional customer service training could be beneficial, as the interaction came across as rude. It was disappointing, especially as it was the only negative moment, not just of our stay at Houmas House, but of our time in Louisiana and Mississippi as a whole. A simple “please” and “thank you” go a long way, particularly when all I was asking for was a drink of water and a Coke. A poor final interaction to end what was otherwise a truly lovely stay.
