Live Like A Local at Jean Lafitte House.
Jean Lafitte, one of the most famous American pirates, is the namesake of our New Orleans property. With original construction dating back to 1809, the front building is the building Jean Lafitte himself bought. Our two brick buildings, were built in 1809 by Lafitte's Captain Rene Beluche, using brick and planks from ships. The property was used as a Captain’s Quarter and has been completely restored, and the living areas have been elegantly furnished. Nestled in the residential area of the French Quarter, Jean Lafitte House provides a quiet and private courtyard to enjoy our plunge pool and relax before exploring the rambunctious streets of the French Quarter. Numerous shops and restaurants await you just a few blocks away. Take a stroll through Jackson Square, listen to live music on Frenchman Street, or enjoy a Hurricane on the world famous Bourbon Street.
