Balcony Guest House Bed and Breakfast

General information

The Balcony Guest House (located in the Marigny), is your New Orleans Bed and Breakfast above Schiro’s Grocery and Cafe. We are conveniently located at 2483 Royal Street (Corner of St Roch & Royal). Come and stay in our unique New Orleans Vacation Rental and see why everyone who stays loves it. Only 7 blocks down river from the French Quarter and 5 blocks from Frenchmen Street.

Quiet, Convenient and Reasonable

All 4 guest rooms and the Master Suite are balcony level and overlook the historic, alluring and relaxed (Creole Caribé) Marigny area. An “only in New Orleans” landmark, Schiro’s has been the center of neighborhood activity for over 100 years. It began as a corner grocery – a fixture in New Orleans neighborhoods from a time gone by. In true turn-of-the-century fashion, the owners lived upstairs. The Balcony Guest House now occupies this space.

Whether your itinerary includes a day of sightseeing, antiques shopping and dining in the historic French Quarter, or a night of listening to the best sounds of New Orleans on Frenchmen Street, look no further for a local Vacation Rental; The Balcony Guest House is perfect for a relaxing retreat. City Park (third largest urban park in the U.S.) is also nearby and houses NOMA (New Orleans Museum of Art), tennis courts, botanical gardens, and four golf courses, as well as being a wonderful area to ride bikes and view the huge historic and documented oak trees. Bikes can be rented on Frenchmen Street, at Bicycle Michael’s–5 blocks from Schiro’s. The ride up Esplanade Avenue to the park is pleasant, and bikes are available for rent near the park as well. The Fairgrounds are also near the City Park end of Esplanade. This is the site for the New Orleans Jazz Fest every year, on the last weekend of April and first weekend of May.

Schiro’s Community Cafe

Schiro’s Community Cafe, within the grocery (located just downstairs), is a popular gathering place for our own New Orleans’ blend of artists, musicians, and let’s just say “personalities”. Open for Lunch and Dinner (and Brunch on the Weekends), the Cafe offers tasty New Orleans, Indian and Mediterranean food. Please visit the Schiro’s Cafe Website (www.SchirosCafe.com) for more details.

Amenities:

A shared parlor awaits your arrival at the top of the stairs. From here, French doors open onto an 80-foot balcony overlooking the corner of St. Roch and Royal streets. Spend some time here, enjoying the breeze from the nearby Mississippi River and watching the street scene below.
