We love the Degas House! We got engaged and married there,and have stayed many other times. They have amazing rooms with balconies overlooking Esplanade. They do a delicious brunch, Classic New Orleans with great service and wonderful ambience. You won’t be disappointed!

As a wedding vendor, our team always enjoy our events at the Degas House. Looking for New Orleans charm? The Degas House is a top pick on our list!

A few years ago, some friends and I spent a week at Degas House. We booked both available suites, and had a simply amazing stay. I arrived a bit earlier than the rest of my party, and was greeted by a lovely, cheerful staff, and lead to a beautiful room to wait. The woman who greeted me at the door brought me a glass of really good red wine and engaged in pleasant conversation while I waited. Once everyone else arrived, we were helped to our suites. The rooms were meticulously cleaned, and stunning. Both suites had balconies. The one I stayed in overlooked a charming courtyard. The beds were the most comfortable Ive ever slept in, and the enormous tub had several jets! The kitchen was completely furnished, with dishes, a coffee maker, corkscrews, etc, and the fridge stayed stocked with refreshments. There was even a beautiful sherry decanter that was magically refilled each time we went out. Lol. The location is within walking distance of Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, etc. There was also a bus stop just outside.The staff made our stay absolutely amazing, and I definitely hope to return someday!!

Its a B&B, museum, and art gallery in one. The tour is $29 for 2hr. Intimate experience so you can ask all the questions you want from a very nice, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend for a serious Degas fan.

This place was beautiful, and the breakfast was amazing! We came in town for a wedding that was held there, which was also beautifully done. They were so kind and helpful- saved us from an absolutely horrible air bnb experience- really saved the day! Everyone was wonderful and the setting was outstanding. Highly highly recommend. I would absolutely stay here again.

This is an exquisitely beautiful venue. I was there for a wedding and everything was perfect. The outdoor courtyard is stunning and the interior rooms are perfect for a reception. My favorite part of the evening was sitting with friends on a gorgeous New Orleans avenue under the Spanish moss, the air heavy with fragrant flowers. The catered food is delicious. Overall an excellent experience.

Great detail by a great niece of Degas. Maybe too much info but you can walk and sit and see copies of Degas works and explanations

We learned so much, not only about Degas but also what New Orleans was like at the time. The culture and architecture, it was great and our guide was very good.

Staff was friendly and helpful. The house itself was amazing.

The house and room were amazing. Breakfast was excellent. Staff helpful & friendly. The house tour was great & very informative. Very convenient location and parking easy. We would have appreciated a fridge & tea/coffee making facilities though.

Absolutely beautiful inside. You can actually hit up the gift shop and see his artist quarters! What a great spot to have a party.

What an amazing stay. We stayed in the William Bell Suite. The room was beautiful. Not sure why all the negative reviews. Rooms were clean. Staff was wonderful. Yes, its an older building but isnt that the point? If you want a newer building go stay in a place with no culture in some corporate hotel. Want a place with New Orleans charm? Stay here.

Comfortable bed, spacious, nice decor, friendly staff, excellent service and breakfast. I wish they have bigger tv, brighter kitchen, more towel rack and these fixed or replaced: shower head, shower curtain, door locks.

Good side-great room and breakfast. Bad-another guest easily broke into room saying it was hers. Interior locks are cheap. All electric items were unplugged, so I had to move heavy furniture, including a 200lb plus bed to get things to work. Staff was aware that previous users had unplugged but did not address. Took awhile to reset alarm as normal buttons did not function. Worst issue was tv not properly set to work. Multiple voice mails seeking help were not returned for days and staff did not staff office during posted hours. When I finally got a response, was told that “this is not a hotel.” So bottom line, fine spot unless there is a problem because then you are on your own.

Randy Bibb made this the best tour!!

My house is right behind Degas house and Ive owned my house since 1954. Ive watched that house go on to major changes during the last 60+ years and that entire area is beautiful. Growing up in that neighborhood was quite interesting.

The pictures are beginning of their wonderful breakfast tour. It is a great way to learn about the deGas family, architecture and history of the Realist, Impressionist artist Edgar deGas, from small boy to his last days. Micey, his great niece, is a beautiful artist with an intriguing knowledge of this gorgeous mansion. Thank you Micey for a tour we will always remember fondly!

We didnt love our stay here. It was very expensive, the breakfast was pretty terrible (love to Denise though--shes a sweetheart), and our room was WAY below par. I mean, Dollar Store shampoo in a $230/night room, a terrible shower, and an old bed.I will definitely not stay here again, and Id recommend against booking here.

The staff is very friendly and the house is in a nice neighborhood - about a mile from City Park. If you dont have a car, you can usually get a Lyft/Uber within 5 minutes. The breakfasts are also amazing. We stayed in the Josephine room, which is quite spacious.Its an old house and a little worn in parts. For example one of the faucet handles in the shower kept coming off. Although the neighborhood is fairly quiet, ound carries through the house.The staff was very loud when they were getting breakfast ready. Also, the house has a lot of events. There was a wedding and a fashion show going on while we were there, but fortuneatly they didnt go too late.

Small but informative. Cool spot, definitely can see why people have weddings there. Very friendly staff.

Its a wonderful cozy place and the staff is very warm and kind

Amazing bed and breakfast! The team was fantastic and very attentive! It was very quiet and relaxing. The breakfast was amazing! When I go back to New Orleans this will be were I stay again! Its a great location!

Who knew Degas lived in NOLA? 3 houses on Esplanade tell the family story. A museum will open soon.

The house is beautiful, the breakfast is wonderful. The air-conditioning in the Josephine room never worked while we were there, had to sleep with the windows open- they did bring us a box fan. We reported the ac issue the day we arrived and our third day there, all we received was the box fan. We are fortunate we were there in February and not July or we wouldnt have survived the heat and humidity. Its an old house with quirks but the ac going out is a deal breaker.

You can feel french colonial history and life of Degas in New Orleans. It is better to make booking for guide tour in advance. She is very knowledgeable and intelligent for both history and arts. And the lovely cat will tell greeting to you!

Save your money and time; the proprietors are more interested in their b&b and wedding parties than those interested in degas. $15 for a video and some prints.

This was a unique and historically significant property. Some of the rooms could use a little updating as paint is chipping, there are some cracks in the walls. However, the beds were very comfortable and the brunch was delicious!

My son and friend are staying there and l wanted to see it. Very quaint and quiet. They are enjoying it and can get to other venues without much hassle.

It is a beautifully restored home dedicated to Edgar Degas who lived and painted 18 works of art. The tour tells the story of Edgar Degas and the families who lived in this fine home. Its a do not miss when you are in New Orleans.

This place is amazing. We felt very welcomed by the staff. The breakfast is the cherry on the top. The location is very convenient and the street is very quiet and far from the noisy French Quarter.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Degas house. So cool to see the actual spots where Degas painted some of his works. Learned quite a bit about his life as well as that of his family - a very fascinating story. Recommend a visit if you’re interested in art or history.

Randy was an awesome tour guide! Lots of jokes and knowledge about the house, family, and neighborhood.

We wanted this to be a good tour and experience. Unfortunately it just wasnt. As a fan of Degas and his works I knew wed be visiting the house and not an art museum, and I wasnt expecting to see any original pieces of artwork. There are other museums to have that experience.Heres the thing; please dont start what is to be a 60-90 minute tour by forcing us to watch a 30-40 minute PBS documentary from the late 90s that is definitely showing its age. Were actually HERE! Im on vacation to see and experience things that I cant from home and while I may not be able to find this exact film due to its age and quality, I can certainly watch other award-winning documentaries about Degas from the comfort of my home.There are times that a multimedia experience can add to the overall impact of an in-person experience, but if you are going to do anything...do it right. Get a quality multimedia setup and not a cheap $100 TV with no speakers that muffles the narrators voice and makes it tough to impossible for a room to understand. If you are going to show a film, do it well. If you are going to show a film, let your docent expound on that information and not criticize or contradict it for being wrong. Our docent made multiple statements that a couple facts in the video were wrong and they dont know what they are talking about. Your own docent then diminishes the experience that you just asked us to enjoy.The docent was rude and curt throughout...often stumbling mightily over her tour points and complaining about everything; the computers arent working, someone moved my demonstration, I think this rule is stupid, etc. She also at one time in the tour insulted a tour attendee not in our party who sneezed, demanded no one look at their phones during the tour otherwise shed lose her train of thought, and more. Regardless of her connection to Degas and the home, her attitude diminished the experience.Finally, dont expect anything original here. No original paintings or artwork which is to be expected. But even the elements on the tour are of the quality of a class project and certainly not up to the standards of a quality experience...outside of your memories of your 4th grade classroom. Poster board diagrams, a meddling timeline of his life on computer printouts taped to one wall, etc. Again, if you need a visual aid, do it right. Hire a professional or spend some time at Kinkos to have quality visual aids and materials created that show your passion for Degas and your tour experience.This should have been at most a 30 minute tour, not 90, and an experienced, nice, and well presented tour and guide would have improved the experience.

Friend had a wedding here. Very cozy and great staff. We had a blast! Such a beautiful wedding!

Location is quiet, but centrally located in the city. Grounds are well maintained. The rooms could use better repairs, but overall the extra space and peace are welcomed.

Nice part of history.

This B&B is worth every penny. The service and staff were excellent. The history behind the location makes one feel like a part of New Orleans and a nice tour of the hotel is included. The made to order breakfast is delicious! I highly recommend The Degas House and look forward to staying here next time I am in this beautiful and culture-rich city.

Very interesting and informative tour. Lovely breakfast. Excellent and friendly service.

Beautiful historical home. Split in 2 and moved around a bit, but still pretty. Also a bed and breakfast and a wedding venue and a breakfast restaurant.

This was a great experience, we had breakfast, very delicious and many choices. The lady that cooked and served was very nice and accommodating. Then we had time to learn about and tour the property. Our guide Randy is very knowledgeable, funny and pleasant.

The food was not very good. The patio was cold and they only turned on the heaters when we had been there 45 minutes.

Our room shower was not clean and was dripping loudly throughout the night. When we woke up early to catch our flight, we realized there was not soap in the room. We were only staying that 1 evening and were here for a wedding. The check in process was great, but we dropped our stuff off quickly to take care of wedding stuff and came back late that night after the reception and didnt notice the issues until the morning when we woke to get ready to leave.

Amazing!! Absolutely amazing!! My husband and I just had our wedding there last weekend and I can not say enough kind words about this staff and venue. We planned this wedding in six weeks from out of state and from beginning to end, it was perfect. It was so nice having everything in one spot and we really had very little to handle. They took care of EVERYTHING. One of our favorite moments was when one of the servers came out on the dance floor and showed us how to do the Cupid Shuffle. She rocked it!! So fun. Then, the next morning, having a relaxing cup of coffee on the same beautiful courtyard that held our family and friends the night before... perfect. Thank you so much! Loved every second of our day. Thank you.

Old world charm. Could be updated. Fantastic people working there. A real experience, different to a hotel.

This is a museum and event space. I attended a wedding. It was well decorated and outfitted with everything necessary. The service employees were professional and very helpful. Even the museum cat was friendly! It was a beautiful wedding and the band was wonderful. The food was decent but not spectacular.

Comfortable bed, spacious, nice decor, friendly staff, excellent service and breakfast. I wish they have bigger tv, brighter kitchen, more towel rack and these fixed or replaced: shower head, shower curtain, door locks.

I was there for a wedding. They have a nice area in the back for a small and intimate ceremony. I dont know anything about the rooms or staying the night since I was there for the ceremony. Though the staff was very friendly and helpful.

Beautifully situated on Esplanade Ave, which I think is the most beautiful street in all of NOLA. The houses have different rooms. Each has its own character. We stayed in the Mathilda. I do recommend that you call ahead and double check which room you get. Not all have jacuzzi tubs, or claw foot tubs. Some of the rooms need minor updates, nothing major, normal wear for older homes. The staff however!!!! Let me just say how much I love this staff!!!!! They are awesome!!! The breakfast ladies, two of the friendliest and best cooks in NOLA... Love their French toast.... The cleaning lady was super sweet always with a smile. And the ladies at the front desk were just splendid...

Degas House is wonderful! The property is beautiful! Breakfast is delicious!

Well i must say my weekend was a bit of a nightmare. I am a frequent visitor to the city and in the interest of diversity i decided to splash out for a stay at the Degas House. Without question the house and staff are top notch. The problem lies in the fact that the total lack of soundproofing between rooms makes the place little better than a youth hostal. Friday night i suffered through a batchelorette party that went on until 330am in the neighboring room. Saturday night the afterparty for the wedding did not end until 430am also in the neighboring room. Sunday night was relatively peaceful until 1230am when my neighbors returned and proceeded to have a very loud fight! Thankfully this ended relatively quickly and peace finally prevailed. So you see i am very disappointed with my stay. Also bed was very uncomfortable

The bathroom wasn’t clean, dust all over, bugs on the robes in the closet, and the A/C was broke in our room. The only saving grace was the breakfast was delicious, and they gave me a full refund.

Our Guide was wonderful!

We booked late at night after a snafoo with our previous accommodations. An employee got there as soon as she could to get us settled and even arrived with beers! Room was cute, tons of pillows! Breakfast in the morning was filling and tasty and they offered up lots of advice for things to do.

A beautiful venue , Rich with history and notoriety in a stunning neighborhood unfortunately owned and operated by individuals who lack the standards of professionalism and accountability necessary to provide the experiences they promote and promise. Consumers should investigate further if they are entertaining the idea of hosting an event here. Certainly be sure to hire coordinators and staff separate of those built into their packages as additional protection for your investment.

A beautiful landamark in historic New Orleans that keeps the spirit of the 19th century, and of Edgar Degas and his creole heritage. Having breakfast and a guided tour are highly recommended. It is a time capsule!

Nice venue for a wedding. Really nice, clean and dainty setup. One building served as the information center, detailing historical facts on the walls. The other building had the rooms for the wedding setup. The service staff were very professional and friendly. There is plenty of room for dancing and seating for about 100 guest.

Did a guided tour today. The house and the art are both really cool. The tour was a little bizarre. It could use some editing. We watched a video at the beginning that was 30 minutes long and unnecessary. Overall we enjoyed it though.

A 5 star for great community service- a laid back place to visit.

Micey was our tour guide and was wonderful. My wife and I along with my son and his girlfriend toured the house/museum. The staff we spoke with were friendly and seemed genuinely excited about keeping the history of Degas alive. I must admit, I didnt know much about him and his connection to New Orleans but Micey was awesome. She took the time to tell a story that made history come to life. The museum is also a bed and breakfast. Ive stayed in the Garden District for years but it was so nice to be just north of the Quarter and have a peaceful neighborhood. We just sat and enjoyed the tree lined street. Just may change my accommodations next year.

My daughter had a beautiful wedding at the Degas House.

We came for breakfast and a tour and had a lovely time. It was so interesting to hear and see all the history. Breakfast was superb.

Worth the money - Degas was the only Impressionist to visit America, and this is the only house he stayed/lived in that is open to the public. A comprehensive tour of the house (split in 2 at some point after Degass visit), with an informative video to start, is led by none other than one of Degass grand-nieces. A wealth of information, not only about Degas, but also the area during the 1870s and the Impressionist movement in France, is offered to the visitor. The art lover and the historian will be both pleased by this visit.

Overall, I was not in the house that is advertised in the photo. The pool was dirty our entire trip. They didn’t start cleaning it until we physically got there and it was way to dark to go swimming in it. It didn’t start clearing up until the actual day that we were leaving. The house was in poor condition. The walls were peeling in the bathroom. The shower and bathtub was peeling and carried a stench. It literally looked like a family just left and said here you go now you can stay. The interior wasn’t pleasant and the day we left, someone physically came in and left his wallet. I’m assuming he ran out once he realized that we hadn’t checked out yet. It was creepy and we ran out as soon as we saw the wallet. Someone had to be staying in the garage while we were there. We kept hearing noises all the time. I have pictures of the bathroom by the way-gross and disappointing unfortunately

The food is very authentic and is cooked and served with Love

Very informative. Guide was excellent.

Gorgeous historic home and fascinating lore

Great location and beautiful house. Stopped by to tour for a potential wedding venue.

Leaky pipe in ceiling got bed wet..they didnt fix nor move us to another room. Staff seemed to not like to be bothered with guests but went out of their way for people that booked venue for wedding. We also had a mouse in our room.

Our stay was excellent!!!Staff was remarkable, loved the house and room. Our bed definitely needs an upgrade, it squeaked every time we moved but other than that it was a wonderful stay. Breakfast was amazing. Would definitely stay there again.

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing drinks and service! Went to a wedding and the whole party eat here after and it was all so good

Although the wait staff and breakfast meals were both outstanding, the managerial staff was rude and dismissive to me and my travel companion several times. In addition, the rooms look beautiful in their website photos, but in actuality, the condition of the room was disappointing - holes in the walls, ripped drapes, rusty plumbing, and holes in the floor. The walls were paper thin and we could clearly hear the other guests talking and their TVs in the adjoining rooms. I would not recommend anyone stay here.

Beautiful venue, great staff, and my sisters wedding went without a hitch. Great location for your next event.

A glimpse into the events surrounding famed french painter Edgar Degas during his 5 month visit to New Orleans. Hosted by Degas grand nieces who have invested many hours researching the period.

Room over 100 degrees. Finally got moved to another room. They were very nice but lots of excuses. Breakfast not served until 8 am. To late for most of our days filled with activities. It was after 8:45 before it was ready the one mornjng we did make it down to eat. Beautiful home.

I love this place. The staff was very pleasant. Every detail was well thought. The breakfast was exquisite. Deena the cook is so talented. The rooms took you back in time. It was a very different experience. I would like to return one day.

Had to leave it was too hot

Margot was our guide. She was very informative and entertaining. The fact that she was related to Degas and was able to provide an insiders view greatly added to the overall experience.

Great tour and educational.

Went of Edgar Degas House Gourmet Creole Breakfast and Tour Hosted by the Great-Grand Nieces of Edgar Degas or a Global Winning Docent named Randy.....The Made to Order Creole Breakfast of Bananas Foster Pandu or French Toast with a Bloody Mary was delicious. My Friend had the Creole Omelette with vegetable and homemade creole sauce with a Mimosas. But the best part is that our guide was Micey Moyer, one of the great-grand nieces of Degas and one of the last Degas Painters, unless her Grandson, take a heavier interest in painting. Who knew Edgar Degas had an American Connection! He painted 18 world famous paintings will visiting his family in New Orleans during 1872 and 1873. Worth the trip.

If you are hoping to visit an old creole house (or actually two houses as the original mansion was split in two) much of it is not open to the public (because it is also a B&B, bedrooms upstairs, in fact all of the upstairs, was off limits)...Emphasis was on Degas and his art (and his somewhat peculiar family)... however NO originals to view... visitors are NOT allowed to take any pictures in the house. Both houses in need of a lot of repair and restoration.

The right house is better than the left. The right house has food and beds. The left house tries to sell you stuff.

The banana french toast breakfast was heavenly and the generous mimosas were as well. The house has a fascinating history and it was a treat to meet the artists great-grandniece!

The pictures of the Dega house is not well where you’ll be staying it’s a total different house which caught us by surprise because we saw the pictures and thought OK well this is nice this is where will be staying no it was a rundown house that had mold all on the inside of the house the AC to the house did not work they had to bring in AC units to try to cool down the house they brought in that then the power to half the house went out because of the AC units that they brought in was pulling too much juice the roof was leaking the pool was dirty it was just not a very pleasant place to stayWhen you spend $1800 for two nights you want a nice place to stay and I’m telling you when you see the pictures of the Dega house that is not where you’ll be staying don’t get caught by surprise like we did

Interesting telling of the story of Degas in NOLA. Pam, the tour guide knew her stuff. Worth a visit especially if youve had enough of the French Quarter. Pam extra time to have fried chicken at Wille Maes which is just four blocks away.

I went during an open event. It was a beautiful space and everyone was so inviting.

Stumbled in on our walk from air bnb to French Quarter. Interested little pitstop and respite from the rain.

Checked this place out as a wedding venue. Its beautiful and the staff was so helpful! We ultimately decided to go somewhere else because of the size of the wedding but I wish I could have done it here!!

We were leaving Jazzfest and trying to find a spot to call an Uber. The woman outside watering plants offered us a place to sit, water, beer, and told us the very interesting history of this historic building. 10/10 would recommend.

Got a tour for possible wedding venue. Staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. Got to meet the owner as well and he was very welcoming. This place is high up on our list for possible wedding venue.

It was great breakfast. Its definitely a different feel than a hotel. Be sure to call in for the code to get your keys if arriving after hours.

Nice real nice

I worked a wedding here as a DJ for Omega Sound And Entertainment. The cooks, hostesses, wedding coordinator, staff and venue were all amazing; very professional and accommodating. The Degas House was lovely. Highly recommended.

Small, but beautiful. Degas paintings adorn the walls but the space its self is quite small.

Learned a lot about this painter, wish the gift shop had more of a selection

Awesome and amazing will definitely be back...........

Really nice place to have a wedding

The Bayou St. John area has so much of everything there isnt enough that can be said!

Much of historical interest on the property and surrounding neighborhood.

It’s a beautiful venue, but the price of $30 a bit high for a tour

Breakfast there was delicious, and the tour was quite interesting.
