:: INTRODUCTION :: The HH Whitney House offers an elegant, yet relaxing atmosphere that will make your vacation, business trip or special occasion a memorable one. Even before you walk through the front door, your hosts Glen and Randy make you feel right at home. Whether you're seeking a quiet and intimate weekend getaway or lots of personal attention for an action-packed excursion, your hosts are in tune with your needs and make it their business to pamper you. :: HOTEL FACILITIES :: The Italianate style family home was built circa 1865 and has been restored to its original grandeur during the last ten years. The home boasts some of the most unique and original plaster work found anywhere in the city and was featured in the book New Orleans Architecture - Volume V: The Esplanade Ridge. Plaster ceiling medallions adorn the foyer, dining room, double-parlor and solarium. The main focal point of the home's interior is the convergence of three separate archways which separate the double-parlor and solarium. The union of these arches reaches toward the floor and is suspended effortlessly in mid-air. This area provides the perfect setting for your wedding ceremony or the renewal of your marriage vows. The parlor and solarium are elegantly appointed with Victorian furnishings as well as a 1912 player piano with over 100 rolls of vintage music. The dining room features an 11-foot oak table which provides a casually elegant setting for breakfast. The rear garden features lush tropical foliage and fruit trees and provides a great setting for reading the morning paper, having an afternoon cocktail, or taking a late-night dip in the hot tub. The base of the home's original cistern now provides a home for our Rebecca fountain and Chinese goldfish, while a gazebo sits atop another pond towards the rear of the yard. Behind the gazebo, the hot tub lures you to the furthest reaches of enchantment and relaxation. Eleven fireplaces grace the home, including two in the parlor which feature Italian marble mantelpieces. In each of the other rooms, a unique cypress mantel adds its own distinctive flavor to each room's ambiance. Original cypress millwork and transoms exist throughout the home, which is comprised of a front and rear wing, each with a separate staircase. All guest rooms are located on the upper level. :: ROOM AMENITIES :: Breakfast is served each morning between 9:00-10:00 at our elegantly set dining table. Earlier breakfasts can be arranged if requested ahead of time. Part of the HH Whitney House experience is our community-styled breakfast where our guests often participate in lively conversation. The breakfast menu changes daily, but may consist of spinach quiche, quiche lorraine, meat-stuffed croissants & eggs, plain or fruit-filled croissants, danish, fresh fruit or fruit cups. Cereal, coffee, tea, milk and fresh juice is always available. You may enjoy a complimentary cocktail upon your arrival as your hosts get you settled into your surroundings. Bathrobes are provided for your use and privacy when traveling to the bath and/or hot tub. Each room is equipped with digital cable television with over 45 music channels, alarm clock with radio and CD player, hairdryer, and in-room safes. An iron and board is available, if needed. We also offer packages for your special weekend (flowers, champagne, etc.) and can assist in finding a caterer for your wedding, party or business meeting. :: HOTEL ADDRESS :: :: HH Whitney House :: 1923 Esplanade Avenue New Orleans, LA 70116
