New Orleans Uptown/Garden District Is Historic Location of Southern Comfort Bed & Breakfast

Enjoy the central location of Southern Comfort Bed & Breakfast.

The Land of The Bouligny Plantation

Historically, “Uptown” was a direction, meaning movement in the direction against the flow of the Mississippi. The area upriver, from the French Quarter, was developed during the 19th century, mostly from land that had been plantations in the Colonial era. The area is actually a collection of neighborhoods with some of the most architecturally diverse architecture in our country. Your Garden District B&B, Southern Comfort, was built on the land of the Bouligny Plantation; one of our rooms is named in honor of this history.

Take a Ride Through History on the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar Line

The famous St. Charles Avenue within, 2 blocks of our door, is home to the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar line and is a ride through history. Hop on the streetcar heading to the Carrollton Neighborhood and view the grand homes of the avenue nestled amongst 200-year-old live oaks. Jump off at Audubon Park and take a stroll under the gracious oaks past the Audubon Zoo, one of our nation’s best, to Butterfly Park and watch the mighty Mississippi float by.

Get Your Jazz fill at the Tulane’s Campus Jones Hall Jazz Archive

Tulane and Loyola Universities are directly across from Audubon Park. Stroll through Tulane’s campus and visit the Jazz Archive in Jones Hall. Jazz fans will find a display of photographs and artifacts, plus audio interviews with historic jazz musicians. Hop back on the streetcar and head downtown to the historical Garden District Neighborhood.

Take a Glimps Into the Grand and Wealthy Life of Long Ago

The Garden District area was developed during a golden era in New Orleans history, the glamorous antebellum years when New Orleans was one of the richest cities in America. You will experience a glimpse of the grand and wealthy life of long ago. Once you have explored it, head over to Magazine Street.
