Rent all of Site 61 for your bachelorette party, bachelor party or wedding party: 9 private bedrooms, 7.5 baths and room for 20, in Mid-City New Orleans, with the Iris Motel pool right across the street.
The best New Orleans bachelorette parties and bachelor parties have one thing in common: everyone stays together. At Site 61, you rent the entire guesthouse, so the bride or groom and the whole crew wake up under one roof, get ready together and roll out together. Every guest gets a private bedroom with a door that closes. And when the weekend winds down, there’s a full kitchen, shared living spaces and a pool across the street to recover by.
Bring the bride and up to 19 of her favorite people. Pool days at the Iris, getting ready together in the big shared rooms, and a 10-minute walk to the streetcar for a night on Bourbon or Frenchmen Street. No splitting the group across three Airbnbs.
Give the groom and the guys a home base that can handle it: 9 bedrooms, 7.5 baths and room to spread out. Catch the Saints at the Superdome, about 5 minutes away, or hit the bars on Canal Street and in the French Quarter, then regroup by the pool.
House the wedding party, the out-of-town family or both. Site 61 sleeps 20, and pairing it with rooms at the Iris Motel across the street keeps up to 35 wedding guests together for the rehearsal, the big day and the brunch after.
The Iris Motel sits directly across Tulane Avenue from Site 61, and every Site 61 guest can use the Iris pool. Lounge in the courtyard between French Quarter outings, and watch for the Iris’s new poolside bar, coming soon.
Pair a whole-home Site 61 rental with rooms at the Iris and your group can grow to 35 guests, across the street from each other. It’s the easiest way to keep a full wedding party, a big bachelorette weekend or a family reunion together in New Orleans.
From Site 61, the French Quarter is a 10-minute walk and a streetcar ride away. Stroll through the shotgun houses and corner bars of an authentic Mid-City New Orleans neighborhood to the Canal Street streetcar at Canal and Telemachus, then climb aboard one of the city’s classic red streetcars and ride straight down Canal Street toward the French Quarter. No rideshare, no parking, just the way New Orleanians have gotten around for generations.
Closer to home, the Iris Motel pool is across the street, neighborhood favorites like Finn McCool’s, Mandina’s and Liuzza’s are a short walk away, and the Superdome, the National WWII Museum and City Park are all about 10 minutes by car.
