The Sully Mansion is tucked in the middle of the New Orleans Garden District. Best known for its jaw-dropping mansions, ornate ironwork, wrap-around porches, and lush gardens, the Garden District provides a front seat to the cultural and architectural history of New Orleans. We’re just four blocks off Magazine Street, filled with shops, bars, and restaurants.

Only a three-minute walk from the Sully's front steps, the St. Charles streetcar line can take you on a tour of everything New Orleans has to offer.

Did you know the St. Charles streetcar is the oldest continuously operated streetcar line in the world? Experience a piece of history while traveling through a tunnel of oak trees. The St. Charles streetcar rolls past historic mansions, Loyola and Tulane universities, Audubon Park, and plenty of our favorite restaurants and bars.
