Property description
The 5 Continents is not your normal B &B. It is a reflection of the owner's world travels and life experiences. He has visited or lived in five of the seven continents of the world, hence the name. Located just six blocks from the French quarter down the historic Esplanade or to the Race Track at the Fairgrounds where the world famous New Orleans Jazz Festival is held, it is perfectly situated for a memorable visit to the "Big Easy".
The house is a two story Greek Revival Mansion with the original carriage house and a dependency. Built in the late 1880's by Jean Francis Del Corral-Monent, it reflects a by-gone era in New Orleans history. Significant architectural features include the 14 foot cove ceilings that terminate in a delicate plaster shell and Fleur-de-lis motif, the original ceiling medallions and the original gasolier crystal chandeliers in both the parlors. The eight fireplaces, all with the original mantles and ceramic tile hearths set into hard wood floors are located throughout the house.
We feature Greenwhich Bay Trading Company soaps and shampoos, 450 count sheets, California cotton spa towels, Chadworth and Haig plush bath robes and wireless high speed internet access. All accommodations have color TV's; mini-fridges with complimentary soda, juice and bottled water; irons and ironing boards and hairdryers. Guests are accommodated in our two-room suites upstairs in the main house or in our cottage in the garden area. Each are named for a different continent - Europe, Asia, Eurasia and North America and are decorated with artwork from the continent they represent. They are furnished with an eclectic collection of antiques and reproduction pieces. Oriental rugs cover the polished hardwood floors in the main house. All accommodations are "Ensuite" with the bathrooms in the main house featureing antique cast iron claw-foot bathtubs outfitted with showers and the North American Cottage has a two person walk-in /roll-in shower.
