A hospitable, historic French Quarter inn that’s heavy on amenities
Past and present convene at this historic hotel, which dates to the 1700s. The hotel was once host to John James Audubon as he painted his famous bird series. It was later a bordello. Today, the Dauphine revels in its storied history and offers a comfortable contemporary hotel with lots of Southern hospitality. Guests can stay in the cottages across Dauphine from the main hotel, which are the original structures.
Highlights
- Saltwater courtyard pool
- Free continental breakfast and afternoon tea
- Jacuzzi tubs
Rooms
The Dauphine's 111 rooms are as varied as the hotel's history. The 14 rooms and suites in the Hermann House Courtyard -- once the home of a wealthy merchant -- sport Jacuzzi tubs. The Carriage House was once a French Quarter townhouse and now offers nine unique courtyard rooms, each outfitted with 19th century antiques. Bathrooms in some suites can be quite lavish with opulently draped whirlpool tubs. Every room offers free Wi-Fi, bathrobes, cable TV, coffee makers, hair dryers, safe, iron and ironing board. Complimentary continental breakfast, morning newspaper and afternoon tea are nice extras. Some suites include stone fireplaces.
Features
May Bailey's Place, was once a bordello in the red-light district of Storyville. It is now the hotel's intimate bar, complete with a red light outside and "bordello" guest suite upstairs. Visitors are welcome to take books from the inn's library back home. A recently updated fitness center helps visitors work off the excesses of a visit to New Orleans. Free morning breakfast includes fresh fruit, cereal and a make your own waffles station. There is valet parking (fees apply).

Great vacation spot
For the price of the room this was a really great deal! The hotel itself is literally one block from bourbon street but you would never know that being inside the hotel.. It is like your out villa resort around the inside of the hotel. The pool was beautiful and the breakfast was really delicious. It also had balcony's with tables and chairs set up to just sit and enjoy. I highly recommend this!

The hotel is in a very good location if you are looking to hang out on Bourbon Street. Close enough to get back and forth to but not right in the middle of all the noise and bussle.

I love this NOLA hotel. It is perfectly centrally located in the French Quarter, but the street is quiet, the hotel is charming, rooms ultra comfortable and well-maintained, great included breakfasts and friendly and helpful staff and great prices. You couldn't ask for more!

Great French Quarter spot on the cost-quality frontier
I just got married and we stayed at the Dauphine Orleans for our honeymoon last week. It was wonderful! Here are some pros: 1) Location is AMAZING. 1 block from Bourbon Street, right in the middle of the Quarter, and yet still quiet and safe. 2) Room was large, clean, and comfortable. Our bed was ridiculously comfortable, which was nice for our twice-daily naps in between eating fests. 3) Staff were friendly, polite, and helpful in every possible way. 4) Free continental breakfast was better than any continental breakfast I've had before. Waffles, fresh fruit, yogurt, plus all the more expected options. 5) Did I mention the location? Because it really is stellar. Honestly, there's no con I can come up with. This isn't a 5-star hotel, obviously, so sure, the lobby area could be bigger, everything could be larger and shinier &c, but for the price and given the location, I think you get a really great value. Plus it is a really unique and interesting place to stay.

This was one of the few places available in the Quarter that had both a pool and double beds available. It is on a very quiet street and away from the craziness of Bourbon St, but close enough to all the Quarter has to offer. Good breakfast is included in the room fee. There is also a hot tub/jacuzzi available which was welcome after a long day of walking. Highly recommend, would absolutely stay there again.

Fantastic New Orleans
The hotel is in the centre of the French Quarter, one street away from Bourbon Street which is the centre of the action. There was a parade the day we arrived which was a real eye opener. Parking was by valet on the premises. This was expensive but considering the location and the similar rates being charged nearby, it was acceptable and was certainly convenient. Only downside in the Hotel was that when it was raining there was no cover or umbrellas provided to get past the pool area to the breakfast room.

Anything goes in the French Quarter. 24 hour entertainment and action if you can keep up. A safe environment but a real eye opener and not to be missed.

Location, location
The Dauphine Orleans Hotel was close enough to Burbon Street to walk to, but far enough away to be quiet. Our reservation was incorrect, we booked 2 double beds and they gave us one King. They didn't have any other rooms available, so we took the King. They comped our parking (35/day) and gave us extra free drink tickets for the mix up. The bar was not a nice place to hang out. It had a weird musty smell. Took our free drink and went outside to the courtyard. Our room was fine, comfy bed. Very nice helpful staff. Overall good hotel.

Great Location
We stayed here because the hotel our conference was being held at sold out. The complimentary breakfast daily was a lovely treat. The room was clean and adequate. The gym is TINY. But the staff was very friendly, even when I kept deactivating my room key with my phone. But the location is PERFECT! Right in the middle of everything but still really quiet. I would go back.

Close to everything in the French Quarter. Only a few blocks to St. Louis Cemetery #1 and to Canal street where you catch the Street Car to the Garden District.

Great Getaway
The hotel staff was friendly and informative. The location was great; just a couple blocks away from Burbon street which was far enough not to be kept awake all night but close enough to walk. They provided a free drink ticket for their hotel lounge and the complimentary breakfast was great! The room was nice, the only complaint is that the mattresses were worn in the middle & small so the beds were hard to share.
