Property information

Inn at the Old Jail is an award-collecting modern guesthouse built into a national historic landmark in Tremé, New Orleans. The city’s most elegant Queen Anne Victorian was originally home to an NOPD police jail & patrol station, then a library, then a community center, then abandoned ruins of Hurricane Katrina. Completed in 1902 as an overnight lockup for neighborhood offenders and juvenile delinquents, our jailhouse has been impeccably restored into a boutique guesthouse with nine unique rooms and beautifully appointed common spaces. We accept all adventurers looking for a unique stay in the cultural heart of New Orleans.

Neighbourhood information

Our jailhouse stands proudly in Tremé, the cultural epicenter of New Orleans. For over a century, this building has witnessed the formation of civil rights movements, heard the composition of influential jazz numbers, seen the marching of countless parades, and provided shelter to thousands of local community members & international travelers. Close to everything New Orleans has to offer, there’s no better location for a historic city break.
