The space
Casa Pelican B&B and Cooking School welcomes our guests (or other visitors to New Orleans) to also book a cooking class with us. Check out our Cooking School listing at Casa Pelican New Orleans to inquire about our class calendar.

Guest access
Our home is your home when you stay with us. You'll be provided with a key to the front door and there are no curfews. Just try to be a little quiet if you're coming back very, very late (which isn't unusual in New Orleans!). One important thing to note is that we have pets (twin ginger cats). Those with allergies should be aware of this...although none of the animals are ever allowed in our rented room.

During your stay
New Orleans has so much to explore, so we don't expect our guests to hang around too much...although it has certainly been known to happen. We love to have breakfast with our guests on weekends and make sure they get whatever tourist guidance we can offer. Most of all, we want everyone who visits us to leave feeling like they can't wait to return to our wonderful city!

Other things to note
Our home was built in 1880, and the staircase is original....so therefore it's quite steep and narrow, and will pose difficulties for guests with mobility issues.
We never charge extra for booking during Special Events (because we just hate it when hotels do that!), but during Mardi Gras we require a 5 day minimum stay (Friday through Ash Wednesday).

Please note that there are cats on the premises, and we frequently have neighbors and their dogs drop by. If you have severe allergies, this will be important information before booking.

Neighborhood highlights

Algiers Point is the small, historic community (established in 1719) directly across the Mississippi river from the French Quarter. Largely residential, the architecture is classically New Orleans with Greek Revivals and Antebellums to adorable and brightly colored Shot Guns. It is extraordinarily quiet and safe, yet still boasts one of the city's best local pubs (with free, live music every night!) just 3 blocks away.
