FEATURED ROOM OF THE WEEK -- Estelle Suite: A mingling of elegance and intimacy, the Estelle Suite is the showpiece of the house. The room’s majestic beauty is accentuated by magnificent draperies, a cut crystal chandelier, and its four-post king-sized bed. The suite is located on the second floor of the main house. Once the setting for Degas’ painting a "Woman Seated on a Balcony", the room’s private balcony, overlooking oak tree adorned Esplanade Avenue, is a perfect place to relax and inhale that unmistakable New Orleans air. Estelle, for whom the room was named, was the subject of some of Degas’ most revered paintings, a first cousin of the Degas family and the wife of Degas’ youngest brother, René. Estelle’s bathroom features a classic Victorian claw-foot tub. With a twin daybed in its adjacent alcove, the Estelle Suite can accommodate up to 3 people; the suite can be further expanded by opening it onto the Josephine Room to accommodate families or large groups. The Estelle Suite has proven to be a favorite by those looking for a romantic getaway, honeymoon, and it is perfect as a bridal suite during our "Dressing of the Bride Event".
