Welcome to the historic Xiques Home formerly known as "The Lion House", a stunning Greek Revival masterpiece in the heart of the New Orleans French Quarter.

Step onto the grand front gallery from the curved stairways and admire the elegant Corinthian columns & wrought iron railings that define the architectural style. As you enter the foyer, you are greeted with a rare raised center hallway, a feature found in only two other homes in the French Quarter, and adds to its unique charm.
