Melrose Mansion

James Freret, a local architect of the late 1800s, made his mark on this beautiful city by designing various notable buildings. Tourists can enjoy his Beaux Arts style when staying in his 1884 development, the Melrose Mansion, located in the Marigny neighborhood. Originally built as a private home, this Victorian Gothic villa has a romantic aesthetic and nine sumptuous suites that make it a preferred venue for weddings.
