Show Full Description

Named for the reed instruments at the heart of New Orleans jazz — and for Sidney Bechet, the soprano saxophone and clarinet legend — The Reed Suite is a 2-bedroom Bywater retreat with bold saxophone artwork anchoring the living room. Tucked into a beautifully renovated corner building where Burgundy meets Piety, it blends real New Orleans neighborhood character with a flexible sleep setup for groups and families alike.

The primary bedroom features a king bed for a couple, while the second bedroom is set up with a twin and a full bed ideal for kids, friends, or solo travelers sharing the room. Two full bathrooms keep mornings moving even with the whole group in-house. The open living and kitchen space gives everyone room to spread out after a day spent exploring the riverfront, Frenchmen Street, or the galleries along St. Claude Avenue.

This unit sits inside a fully gut-renovated 2016 mixed-use building on one of Bywater's most recognizable corners — the traditional starting point of the St. Anne's Mardi Gras Day parade. It's an ideal home base for guests searching for vacation rentals in New Orleans that put them close to the river, local music, and food, without sacrificing space or comfort.
