Degas House
The Degas House, Courtyard and Inn invites you to Experience New Orleans from the same perspective as the artist himself during his retreat here in 1872 and 1873. Conveniently located eleven blocks from the French Quarter on enchanting Esplanade Ave, Degas House is wrapped in the charm of an oak lined New Orleans neighborhood. Visit, Celebrate and Stay at the only historic landmark in the world where Edgar Degas lived and painted as we recreate for you the experience of being welcomed as a guest of the Musson/Degas family.
Rated the #1 Lodging Value and #3 in Quality in New Orleans (after The Windsor Court Hotel and The Ritz Carleton) by The Unofficial Guide to New Orleans Post Katrina Edition, the Degas House is now in its thirteenth year of business.
In 1880, it was proclaimed that the name Degas would never be heard in New Orleans again. It remained silenced for eighty-five years until the tales began to once again be told through the Degas House walls. New Orleans is a city with many stories to tell….This is the ONE you will remember!
