New Orleans in the early 1800s was a city where empires collided, fortunes were won and lost with the turn of a card, and men like Jean Lafitte could transform from outlaws to patriots overnight. It was an era when the Mississippi River carried more than cargo – it carried the dreams and ambitions of a rapidly expanding nation, while the narrow streets of what would become the French Quarter witnessed negotiations between pirates and presidents, smugglers and statesmen. 3 exceptional History Channel productions have recently showcased the dramatic events, larger-than-life personalities, and pivotal moments that shaped New Orleans during this extraordinary period.

At Jean Lafitte House, our intimate courtyard plunge pool offers guests an exclusive escape from the bustling French Quarter streets – a tranquil oasis where you can cool off, unwind, and recharge before your next adventure. When the New Orleans heat reaches its peak, there's nothing quite like having your own private sanctuary to retreat to.
