Welcome toBlue60 Guest House in New Orleans, LA
Welcome to the Blue60 Guest House. I’m Joshua, the owner, and my manager is Will. Also in the photo is our house cat Colette, who can’t seem to get enough attention from guests. We strive to make your stay with us as memorable and enjoyable as possible, while discovering what New Orleans is all about.
Rated one of the best New Orleans guesthouse on Tripadvisor, the Blue60 is located in the heart of the Faubourg Marigny District. This convenient neighborhood has charming restaurants, outdoor cafes and live music clubs, all within a 10 minute walk. The Blue60 is a 15 minute walk to the French Quarter, one block from the shops and music on Frenchman Street, and a half block away from the Rampart St - St.Claude streetcar stop (the streetcar is temporarily out of service at this stop until further notice). Across the street is a convenient supermarket with a wide selection of prepared foods & alcohol, as well as a Starbucks. Live like a local in a historic house built in 1842. We look forward to welcoming you.
The Lush Outdoor Environment
The Blue60 offers a unique outdoor environment where one can relax in an oasis from the outside world. Nothing beats unwinding on one of the outdoor patios surrounded by lush plants, couches, chairs and tables where one can eat, drink or socialize outside. To top it off, take a dip in the large hot tub to soothe tired muscles after a long day of exploring the city.
Escape to Nola

Photography
I am passionate about photography. The very name of the guesthouse reflects this interest. ‘Blue60’ is a photographic term describing the incredible color of the deep blue sky that often occurs in the hour from sundown until dark. The images on the guest room walls are my work and can be purchased if interested. Additionally, If you want to dabble in the art of photography, I offer personal instruction upon request.
I have recently embarked on a new photography project using the old 19th century process called tintype photography. If interested, you can pose for a photograph giving your portrait a genuine old time look.

Great Place
We stayed a couple of days here and really enjoyed it. The location was great with the trolley right around the corner. We felt safe in the neighborhood and it’s close to everything you need. Josh and Will are both great to work with. They have a really nice market across the street with prepared foods, so we found it easy to grab a hot breakfast there before going out to explore the city. I would stay here again on a return trip!

The location is great for walking to some great restaurants, to hear great music, and get some amazing authentic food! The hospitality and ambiance at Blue60 is wonderful and welcoming. The manager, Will, was extremely helpful and gave us some great tips on the best places to visit during our stay!
– NomadSensational
Wonderful place to stay in New Orleans. Will and Josh couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Trolley car just down the street, Starbucks and Roberts supermarket across the road. Rooms clean and comfortable, lovely little courtyards to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine. Thanks Josh and Will!

The rooms are charming. The owner and manager are friendly and knowledgeable. There's a Robért's Fresh Market right across the street. Frenchmen Street is right around the corner. Hot tub on the property. Great neighborhood.
- R3878QLjamesoComfortable, friendly B&B
Comfortable room; no breakfast but some very good local eateries used by locals - much to be recommended. On street parking but not too difficult to find a place. If you feel like "eating in" for a change, there's an excellent fresh food supermarket right across the street. Our room had a microwave and eating essentials.
