The house
The ChloeMoody Victorian mansion
The Victorian mansion operates like an eccentric private residence, where guests are welcomed with cocktails and treated like old friends.
“Its large porch, along with other common spaces like the bar and restaurant, draw in neighbors and visitors alike.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Inky-blue parlor walls and an alligator runner creeping down the original staircase.
Notable
An 1891 Victorian mansion preserving original plaster mouldings and historic front porch tiles.
Notable
A rocking-chair front porch and backyard pool bar where neighbors gather for cocktails.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Housed in a Thomas-Sully designed Victorian on the deliciously decadent real estate corridor of St. Charles Avenue, The Chloe has everything a genuine boutique should have.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
St. Charles Avenue streetcars stop right outside the gate, and the Garden District sits five minutes away on foot.

The rooms
Every bedroom has a turntable with local vinyl, and select rooms set deep soaking tubs beneath sunny windows.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Pastel pink loungers and scalloped umbrellas surround the outdoor saltwater pool, set on a checkerboard patio behind the mansion.
At the table
The restaurant serves modern Creole fare across floral banquettes, and craft cocktails flow from the dark wood bar.
How it began
Architect Thomas Sully designed the 1891 home for merchant Henry Picard, before it spent years as a boarding house overrun by cats.
