Where to Stay

Private villas in New Orleans with room for your whole crew — and a real bed for everyone.

Skip the Hotel Chaos

Jazz Fest hotels are expensive and far from the action. You're fighting for parking, splitting your group across floors, and recovering in a tiny room.

Private properties give you space, proximity, and a place to actually rest between festival days.

  • Private heated pools for recovery
  • Enough real beds for everyone
  • Chef's kitchens for group meals
  • Live-music spots within walking distance
  • Space for 14-30 guests — you don't need to fill it

12 Bedrooms
17 Real Beds

Three purpose-built luxury villas in the Bywater — The Herald, The Cocodrie, and The Florentine (ADA-accessible). With 12 bedrooms and 17 real beds per villa, a crew of 16 spreads out and most people get their own room — and you don't need to fill every bed. Each villa has a private heated pool & hot tub, outdoor kitchen, basketball court, chef's kitchen, and a 24/7 staffed entrance, with live-music spots like Bacchanal and Vaughan's walkable and the French Quarter 10 minutes away. Take all three villas for groups up to ~90. Jazz Fest weekends book out months ahead.
