The Inn

Sully Mansion Bed and Breakfast was designed by renowned architect Thomas Sully (1855-1937) in 1890. Thomas Sully, along with James Feret, formed the first architectural firm of New Orleans and is credited with shaping much of the unique architectural look of Uptown New Orleans. The Mansion is the most intact of the few remaining 'Sullys' in the city. Original stained-glass windows, ornate ceiling medallions, heart-pine floors, grand stairway, 14-foot ceilings, the double entry door glass transoms throughout the house turned wood balustrades on the staircase and second floor landing, and fish scale wood shingles on the upper portions of the exterior walls are just a few of the features of this rare three storied Queen Anne-style home. Descendents of the original owner of the home still live around the corner. From the original carriage stone at the curb to the pocket doors in the foyer, this home has welcomed guests as a bed and breakfast for almost two decades.

The beautiful fully restored front porch overlooks the luxurious garden and 100-year old oak tree. It provides the perfect spot for breakfast, cocktails conversation or just taking in the air. Gracious rooms antique accents and comfortable furnishings create a casual yet intimate atmosphere. Sully Mansion Bed and Breakfast is the only licensed bed and breakfast located in the heart of New Orleans world famous Garden District.

Hurricane Katrina provided the opportunity for Guy and Nancy to realize their dream of operating bed and breakfast in the city that they love. After years in marketing (Guy) and public service (Nancy) they relocated from Richmond Virginia to own the Sully Mansion in January 2006. With their son now attending Tulane, the entire family has fallen under the spell of New Orleans. As frequent bed and breakfast travelers for work as well as pleasure, Nancy and Guy are closely attuned to what a guest expects from a quality bed and breakfast stay. Their enjoyment of the food and music of New Orleans coupled with flair for personal service and warm hospitality is evident in all their interactions with their guests.
