After you say your "I Dos," let the "happyily ever aftering" begin in one of these fabulous honeymoon hotels, located in Plantation Country, the French Quarter, the Garden District and the Faubourg Marigny (Frenchmen Street).
Spend Your Honeymoon Spooning at a Former Sugar Plantation: Houmas House Inn (Plantation Country).
Every year, hundreds of couples tie the knot at Houmas House Plantation and Gardens on the Great River Road. While weddings at the plantation are a dream come true for many, remember you don’t have to get married at Houmas House to honeymoon or spend your wedding night at the Houmas House Inn.
Come take your pick of romantic Creole-style cottages nestled along an alley of ancient oak trees, surrounded by breathtaking gardens. The cottages were modeled after those that graced Uncle Sam Plantation, once located downriver from Houmas House.
Many of these quaint cottages feature a single-king size bed perfect for honeymooners who want to experience the lavish lifestyle of a wealthy sugar baron in the early 1800s. You’ll enjoy a modern marble bathroom with a tub, ideal for soaking in, and a separate tiled shower. The double doors that lead out to a private porch are perfect for watching the sunset or sunrise over the Mississippi River, just steps away.
A guided tour of Houmas House and breakfast for two comes with your room. You can even arrange for a picnic lunch the next day. There are three restaurants right on the property, including The Carriage House, Latil’s Landing and Café Burnside.
