Dauphine Orleans Hotel
Records of the Dauphine
Orleans’ site date from 1775, and several of the original structures have
survived the test of time. The most
notable jewel of the Dauphine Orleans is the Audubon Cottage where, from 1821-
1822, John James Audubon painted his famous “Birds of America”
series. The restored cottage now serves as the hotel’s main meeting room.
The property’s initial
owners were among the first families of the city’s Spanish and French
settlements. Ownership of the site
changed 21 times until 1966, when it was purchased to house the Dauphine
Orleans Hotel, which opened in 1969.
The cottages all have
beautiful stone fireplaces and original pecky cypress
and pine beams. The original brick walls
and wooden posts decor the rooms after a renovation project in 1991. Fourteen spacious Patio Rooms, some of them
suites, located across
May Baily’s Place, once one of the better known bordellos
in the wildly infamous red-light district known as Storyville,
now serves as the hotel bar.
The red light, the
memorabilia and the Baily name are all that remain of
an era that made even decadent Old New Orleans blush.
