Commanding an entire city block, The Arlington Mansion is a once-in-a-generation estate where New Orleans history and music converge. Built in 1860 and exquisitely restored, this Greek Revival masterpiece offers the rare opportunity to reign over Jazz Fest. This remarkable residence once belonged to famed entrepreneur and Storyville madam Josie Arlington and later welcomed musical legends ranging from Stevie Wonder to The Rolling Stones, as well as numerous well-known television and film productions. The former service wing now houses two private apartments with outdoor space, perfect for guests. Outside, lush gardens and towering oaks frame elegant entertaining terraces, a culinary courtyard, and a saltwater pool shimmering beside the six-car carriage house.
