Canal Street Inn

I would highly recommend the Canal Street Inn to anyone visiting New Orleans. The location in Mid-City is off the beaten path and allowed us to explore an area less frequented by tourists. Its location also gave us easy access to the streetcar to explore the city. Monica and the rest of the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious!

We rented the full Inn plus the apartment suite for our wedding party for our October Wedding and it was the perfect spot. This place was exactly what we needed and we also had a great rehearsal dinner there the day before the wedding. Each of the rooms have their own charm, very clean, and have the New Orleans feel. Our getting ready photos for the wedding were taken at the Inn and there are some many great spots for photos. Breakfast each morning was great. Monica and staff did a phenomenal job during our stay.

We booked about one year in advance and throughout that time had some communication issues with payment details and rehearsal dinner organization. Everything in the end worked out, but sometimes promptness in communication was what was lacking. It would have been a bit easier if we lived in New Orleans to straighten out details in person prior to arrival.

My husband and I definitely recommend The Canal St Inn for any wedding group. 10/10 recommend staying in the apartment suite. It was the perfect place for me and the bridesmaids to get ready while the groomsmen got ready separately in the Inn. Also would recommend for any kind of stay in NOLA. Thank you again Canal St Inn!

We reserved the entire house for three days for our wedding. The space has so much charm, it's warm and inviting. The gardens are gorgeous and perfect for an intimate ceremony. You can tell Monica, the owner, has put a lot of work into the Inn. She's very passionate about the property and has built a beautiful space. Between her and the wedding coordinator, Kristen at PK Events, our celebrate was just magnificent.
Staff was so accommodating and kind. We primarily worked with Dee, who was just amazing, very helpful, a lovely person. Any time we had a question or problem, she was quick to find a solution.
All of our guests raved about the breakfast, their rooms, and the inn's antique charm. We were so happy to have found this gem, it made for a perfect day. We're planning on coming back in the future for anniversaries.

5/5. Book it. Canal Street Inn was wonderful for my week long stay. My room was immaculate, beautiful, and comfortable with plenty of TV options when I needed to stay in after wearing myself out from activities. Breakfast was made fresh daily and Nespresso was available all day along with a variety of teas. Midcity location is right on the streetcar line that includes plenty of eateries, and there is plenty of shopping nearby by car. Service was a masterclass in hospitality. Bravo to Ms. Monica, Ms. Dee, Ms. Rosa, and Mr. Jason, and whomever I may have missed! This is now my relaxing home away from home when in New Orleans.

We will definitely be back! This was such an incredible stay that we were discussing our return the first day! The breakfast was phenomenal and the hostess and staff were so warm and friendly. We felt like we were at home away from home. Prime location to boot. Honestly just an overall beautiful place to stay.

Canal Street In is a lovely quiet haven in the hustle and bustle of New Orleans. The rooms are extremely well appointed, clean and comfortable. The proprietors cook a different delicious hot breakfast each morning to start your day off right, and you can hop on the street car right out front. The building itself is so pretty, a restored historic home. I can’t say enough good things! This is where we will stay in NOLA from now on!

This place was fantastic. This was my wife and I's first time in New Orleans and we were so glad we stayed there. The room was great, the hospitality was top notch, and the food was amazing. I will definitely come back. If you plan on staying at the Inn, definitely check out Katie's and many of the other great restaurants conveniently located close to the Inn!

I cannot say enough good things about the Canal Street Inn. It's a beautiful historic home in a very central location. The place is clean and well appointed. We loved our room. Julia met us upon arrival and made us feel right at home. She showed us around and explained everything. I am originally from New Orleans and travel back often to enjoy the city and old friends and relatives. I know my way around and have stayed in most areas of the city over the years. I am so happy I finally tried the Canal Street Inn and it has now become my favorite. By the way, Mandina's is one of the best restaurants in New Orleans and it's a 2 minute walk from the Inn. Enjoy!

First time staying at a bed and breakfast in New Orleans. Julia was amazing. She was very cordial and helpful. She made me and my wife feel special. It was my 49th Birthday and she made it special. She is amazing at her job. Never forgot our names and was welcoming. One of a kind. Totally recommend this bed and breakfast.

A year ahead of our wedding, we travelled to New Orleans (from Houston, TX) in search of a venue. We toured numerous locations, none of which were quite what we were looking for, that is until we found The Canal Street Inn!

We were thrilled with the venue, especially as we learned of the wedding packages available to us (by PK Events), consequently making our destination wedding planning so much for manageable. We met with Monica Ramsey (Owner/Manager of The Canal Street Inn) and Kristen Rauch, of PK Events during that trip and very quickly felt confident that our event would be a success, and that Monica, and her team would take care of every little detail for us, and they did!

Our wedding was smallish, 40 guests all told and of those 40 guests, more than half (including us) stayed at the inn. We decided to book the entire inn (11 rooms) knowing that having those important people close by during our wedding weekend would make it that much more special! The Inn felt like our home for the duration, and I know that this is what the staff at the Canal Street Inn wanted. We felt welcome, comfortable and relaxed during our stay and so did all of our guests.

The biggest challenge for us was relinquishing all responsibility and having someone else handle the details, but we’re so pleased that we did, and we need not have been concerned at all. Food, accommodation and Wedding Ceremony and reception was impeccably handled, down to every last little lovely detail! The Canal Street Inn team was amazing from beginning to end; we highly recommend this venue to anyone planning a New Orleans wedding. Monica (Owner/Manager), Julia (Inn Keeper) Judy (Chef), thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your passion, your dedication and your creativity. All of you played a major part in making our wedding weekend and wedding day personal, unique and unforgettable!

Prime location just outside of the bustling French Quarter/Warehouse district with simple access to these areas via streetcar or public bike shares that can be accessed a short distance up the road at Walgreens (currently).
The hostess was super accommodating and professional; you can tell she cares about your experience at the inn just as much as her and her staff care about the immaculate condition of the inn itself. The building is gorgeous and tastefully decorated with several original pieces you could get lost in (Mariposa tree with daisies in the dining room is 😚🤌). There are games, a selection of books by local authors or New Orleans specific lore and history; there is a beautiful garden to relax in; ample parking; a lounge area upstairs and a small gym in the basement level. Breakfasts are excellent (all start with a fruit parfait and self served coffee, water or juice: we had a Sunday breakfast with french toast, bacon and mimosas, and a toast with garlic aioli, tomato, avocado and bacon flat faced sandwich) and set you off on the right foot for the day. When we couldn't make it to breakfast one morning, a personalized bagged breakfast was made for us to take with for the day.
Overall, finding a place to stay in New Orleans was the hardest part of booking the trip in Louisiana. There is a lot of noise out there, but we're lucky and thankful to have landed on this place to stay.

Til next time!

We loveddddd our stay at the beautiful Canal Street Inn! I was so excited when reading the reviews and I am happy to say it met all of my expectations! The innkeeper, Julia was so welcoming and helpful to us-this also added greatly to our wonderful experience. The home cooked meals were delicious, Julia was able to work around my boyfriend’s restrictions! Also-this a great location as everything was about 10 min away from the inn (the streetcar runs directly in front of the inn). Thank you to Julia and staff for making our first stay at a bed and breakfast so wonderful!

The house is gorgeous and the furnishings compliment it so well. The bed was firm yet comfortable, and the sheets were super soft. The rooms upstairs were very private and quiet. Breakfast was so delicious; I could tell the ingredients were fresh. We looked forward to waking up and eating it every morning. Monica was a superb and gracious host who was available to answer any questions or help out in any way. Everyone did social distancing, sanitizing, and wore masks, and yet we were able to meet and befriend a couple from South Carolina. This was because the ambiance of the house was so cheerful and friendly while being elegant. We did not take advantage of the lovely back patio or the cozy and stylish home bar area. But, we can't wait to return to do so next time.

The Canal Street Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. From the beautiful Christmas garland hanging on the front porch when we first pulled up, to our warm hug goodbye from Innkeeper Julia upon departure, every moment of our stay was perfect. The breakfast was phenomenal, the ambiance and decor sent us back in time, and the bed was heavenly. We truly felt like family guests as opposed to 48 hour visitors from out-of-state. Julia made our stay so special with her recommendations, attentiveness, and warm demeanor. My husband and I were also able to utilize the gym in the basement, which includes a Peloton! We felt safe our entire stay thanks to the keypads on every external door and custom key for our room. I highly recommend Canal Street Inn over any other B&B or hotel in New Orleans. You won’t be disappointed!

From the moment we drove up and saw the charming inn, to the incredibly welcoming innkeeper Julia, our stay was wonderful. I was on a mother-daughter trip for Jazz Fest and the location was perfect. The trolly stop was right in front of the home and we were within a quick trolly or walk to everything we wanted to do. The inn was so comfortable and the breakfast each morning was delicious. We had to leave early Sunday morning before breakfast so the owner, Monica, was so gracious to pack us a breakfast for the road. Could not have asked for a better weekend or a better place to stay. It felt like home. Will definitely be back to visit again.

We were in New Orleans for a family event and booked 5 rooms at the Canal Street Inn. The inn is lovely. It was nice to have all our family in a more intimate setting than a big hotel. The food was good. The staff members were attentive. We had a cocktail hour one night in the parlor. The appetizers were great for that event as well. I would recommend the inn, especially for family events in New Orleans.

Gorgeous B&B in New Orleans! My boyfriend and I stayed here while passing through New Orleans for a night, it was amazing. The room was beautiful and very clean, and we enjoyed the jetted tub! Breakfast was homemade and delicious, can’t beat that. Our host gave us recommendations for restaurants in the area, and she nailed them! We appreciated the hospitality and would come back again!

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. The inn is a beautifully restored 1912 home on Canal Street. The furnishings are well-suited for the inn and the parlour is inviting. Breakfast is out of the this world. Every breakfast is a different culinary delight - starting always with a fresh fruit salad, followed by the "main course" (the spanish tortilla (potato and egg casserole) was my favorite), and with a dessert grand finale (no really! A breakfast dessert!). The breakfast itself could be the main draw to this place. We stayed in the Canal Street King, which was the room on the 2nd floor facing Canal Street. The room was quiet in spite of being facing a major thoroughfare. The bed was comfortable and had quality linens. The floor was squeaky, but what do you expect from 120 year old house?
I feel like I should write a whole paragraph about the innkeeper, Julia. Julia served us breakfast every morning with a smile, "Good Morning, Loves!". She inquired about our sleep, made sure breakfast was amazing and addressed any questions we had. She spent alot of time giving us information about navigating NOLA, places to eat, what to watch out for. She was patient with her guests and honestly seemed to absolutely love her job and the house. I was just sad that we didn't get to say goodbye to her.

My husband booked Canal Street Inn for our anniversary. If I could rate it 10 stars I certainly would! First of all it is an absolutely beautiful historic home that has obviously been well taken care of. I love old architecture and it was breathtaking. Our room was very clean and beautifully decorated to the antique style though not all rooms are decorated that way so each person has a room that fits their unique taste. The beds were so comfortable and the inn was quiet allowing good rest. Rosa, Mike and Monica were so kind and accommodating to whatever we asked for. We also had a lot of privacy sometimes we felt we were the only ones there but I know there were other guests. There are many beautiful outdoors areas to relax with coffee or wine. Breakfast each morning was amazing and they were very accommodating to my dietary allergies. I felt like we had found New Orleans' best secret. We will definitely come back here even if only to just stay at the inn for peace and quiet. Would highly recommend for anyone traveling to new Orleans on holiday!!

My stay at the Canal Street Inn was brief, but wonderful. They accommodated my early check-in request and the innkeeper, Julia, was so welcoming and helpful. She gave me a tour of the place, which features lots of character and a beautiful garden in the backyard. At night, I took a relaxing dip in the jacuzzi beneath the stars with some Prosecco from the mini bar. I had an early-morning flight so I missed breakfast unfortunately, but Julia sent me off with a fig bar and travel mug for coffee. Staying at this historic inn beats a hotel chain any day and you won't get this level of service at an Airbnb. It is conveniently located in Mid-City and a quick trolley ride to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

If I get another chance to come to NOLA, I will definitely book another stay at the Canal Street Inn.
