Macarty House

Welcome to Macarty House, a historic New Orleans Bed & Breakfast, located in the Bywater National Historic District; just five minutes from the sights, sounds and excitement of the French Quarter. Our 1860s Victorian home features five guest rooms in the main house all with en-suite baths, and two private cottages.

Each of our guest rooms offer the following amenities:

• Secure high speed wireless internet connectivity
• Sleep 2 adults, unless otherwise noted
• Private, en suite bathrooms
• Individually zoned room climate control systems and ceiling fans
• Hypoallergenic European down mattresses, and comforters
  (just to be safe let us know if you are allergic)
• Complementary breakfast, coffee, and tea
  (There's always some of Chef Poole's award winning treats around)
• White noise generators for those who have difficulty sleeping in a new location
• A comfortable, relaxing home away from home in a private residence, without the distraction of televisions and telephones

We have implemented earth friendly technologies, including:

• Solar Energy - We have installed solar cells capable of generating 3 kilowatts of electricity.
• Solar Hot Water - This home was originally built without indoor plumbing, the new solar hot water system is able to supply 120 degree hot water on demand to the entire building.
• Low Flow Water Devices - All toilets have been retrofitted with dual flush mechanisms, all showers have been retrofitted with low flow shower heads, and we have invested in ultra low water consumption energy star rated laundry equipment.
• Guest Toiletries - The guest bath toiletries are made from all natural plant extracts, and packed in compostable containers with vegetable ink labeling.
• Composting/Recycling - in New Orleans recycling is done on a fee basis; we recycle all non-compostable paper, plastic, and glass. All vegetable based materials are composted in our on-site bin.
