Hotel with 111 Rooms
The Dauphine Orleans Hotel is located on Dauphine Street in the heart of the French Quarter, just one block from the bustle of Bourbon Street and two blocks from the antique stores and art galleries of Royal Street. The hotel features 111 rooms and a historic bar and restaurant. An unforgettable hotel in the heart of the famous French Quarter, our palm-filled courtyard beckons guests to relax in the shade or bask in the sun at poolside. Within the 18th century townhouse walls they'll discover a serene oasis in which to reflect upon their New Orleans experience. Equally inviting is the free welcome cocktail guests receive when they arrive. Our enhanced continental breakfast as well as afternoon tea are compliments of the house, as is the newspaper delivered to each door every morning. The past blends seamlessly into the present in the Dauphine Orleans Hotel, which boasts a history almost as old and rich as the Crescent City itself. Records of the Dauphine Orleans' site date from 1775, and several of the original structures have survived the test of time.
