Dauphine Orleans Hotel: New Orleans Hotel Collection

Why You'll Love It

It’s where beads fly off balconies and jazz notes barrel down alleyways. Still, NOLA doesn’t have to mean an all-nighter every night. Cozy, refined, and relaxing, this boutique hotel is a posh hideaway in the heart of the French Quarter.

Sure, historical decor keeps a picturesque past in tact, but fear not, the Dauphine is also up on the latest trends (think WiFi, fitness center, and Tempur-Pedic™ beds). The hotel bar, May Baily's Place (a 19th century “sporting house” in a cottage where John James Audubon painted his “Birds of America”), gives the best nightcap around. Things heating up outside? Take a dip in the famous saltwater pool or stroll the tropical courtyard.

While you want the buzz of Bourbon Street, let’s face it, you also want some shut-eye. Discover a quiet sanctuary steps from it all.
