Where you sleep
Prytania Street and Washington Avenue cross in the middle of the Garden District, where houses from the 1840s to the 1890s sit back from the street behind iron fences, magnolias and azaleas. A bed and breakfast here is one of those houses, four to eight rooms, breakfast served in the dining room. A walled cemetery of above-ground tombs stands a block away on Washington Avenue; visiting hours are set by the city and change, and the planner checks them for your week.
Rooms, classes and suppers counted in the figure
- Four nights in a bed and breakfast in a Garden District house on Prytania Street, a room for two. Whatever nightly charge the bed and breakfast puts on every guest is counted inside, near Prytania and Washington, not added at checkout.
- A visit inside a nineteenth-century house museum, shown by the museum's own staff.
- A seated supper on a set menu at a dining room in the Garden District.
- One Garden District house stay itinerary in writing: who each supplier is, where to find it from Prytania and Washington, and the terms it keeps for changes.
Left for you: the road, the taxes, the valet
- Getting to New Orleans and back. From the Atlanta office the drive is about 470 miles; how you travel is yours to choose and arrange.
- Louisiana and New Orleans hotel taxes and the per-room nightly charge set by the state and city, both collected by the hotel. The quote shows them in dollars.
- Meals beyond those named above, and tips for staff.
- Parking. Hotels in the Quarter and downtown usually charge for it by the night.
- Streetcar and taxi fares in the city.
The tombs of New Orleans stand above ground in rows like small houses, whitewashed and roofed, because the old city sits close to the water table. The planner's notes say when the cemetery near your bed and breakfast is open.
Months this stay suits, and months it fights
March through May and October through November, when the gardens are at their best and the sidewalks are walkable at midday. Jackson Square is fifty six minutes on foot, a long walk; most visitors ride the St. Charles streetcar, paid on board and outside this price. The from-price is figured on October, the less costly of the two seasons.
Where the Garden District house stay's $405 per person comes from: October is its least costly month, when the federal room figure for New Orleans is $162 a night. Halve that for each of four nights near Prytania and Washington, then add $80 per person for the two named pieces.
Confirmed by each supplier once you say yes
The house museum confirms the day and time of the visit; it keeps its own hours and closes on some weekdays. The dining room confirms the evening and the menu. The bed and breakfast confirms the room, the stairs and the breakfast hour.
Until you say yes, no bed and breakfast room near Prytania and Washington and no seat is held. After it, you pay the bed and breakfast and each operator for the Garden District house stay directly, each on its own terms, and each sends written confirmation for your four nights.

56 minutes from Prytania and Washington to the square, traced street by street; the faint lines are the other eight walks.
