Chimes

New Orleans


Five pleasant little rooms here each have outstanding individual touches, such as a floating staircase made from 4in-thick cypress slabs, or a sunken stone tub. Rooms surround a lovely patio and gardens, creating a courtyard community of sorts. Breakfast (included in rates) consists of fresh-baked goods and local Community Coffee. Eight namesake wind chimes hang on the front porch of the main house.

Chimes is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, but is quite close to Magazine St. Two- or three-night minimum stay required on weekends, depending on the season.
