Dauphine Orleans

A Romantic New Orleans Boutique Hotel

New Orleans is known for its historic charm and unique culture, and few properties capture it all like Dauphine Orleans. This New Orleans boutique hotel features Creole cottage-style guest rooms and a lovely restored carriage house that transport you to the Big Easy of old. Days here are spent sipping cocktails on the porch, relaxing over a book or conversation in the intimate courtyards, and cooling off in the refreshing saltwater pool. 

The property is composed of three historic buildings that include the 18th-century cottage house and the gracious 19th-century Hermann House. These beautifully restored spaces show off enchanting brickwork, wooden beams, and large picture windows. You can also visit May Baily’s Place, an intimate bar designed to evoke one of the city’s famed bordellos. This is Southern hospitality at its best, set in the romantic French Quarter.

The setting is so enchanting, in fact, that Dauphine Orleans is a popular choice among New Orleans small wedding venues, ideal for intimate weddings of up to 50 guests. Breezy palms, Southern porches, and English-style brick courtyards set a romantic scene for an unforgettable ceremony.

If you’re looking for a romantic hotel in New Orleans, you’ll find that there’s plenty of substance to go with the style. A welcome cocktail on arrival sets the mood for your stay, and 24-hour valet parking, daily grab-and-go breakfast (fees apply), and free Wi-Fi make your stay as comfortable and convenient as it is captivating.

Accommodations

From the moment you step inside your guest room, almost instantly the sounds of jazz bands and bustling crowds will feel like a distant echo. Welcome to the serene side of the French Quarter, where plantation shutters, cypress ceiling beams, and exposed brick walls create an enchanting atmosphere that is distinctly Southern.

Dauphine Orleans guestrooms span three distinct buildings: the Main House, Carriage House, and Hermann House — all radiating the old-world warmth that New Orleans is celebrated for.

May Baily's Place

See what’s behind the red velvet curtain of the newly reimagined May Baily’s Place. This Creole-style cottage was one of the first — and once one of the most notorious — bordellos of New Orleans’ Storyville red-light district. Come discover a boudoir-inspired escape, where sultry sips and hand-crafted cocktails mingle with burlesque art and indulgent fabrics and textures.

Alongside historic details, such as a framed copy of the operating license granted to May Baily in 1857 and a red light that burns above the bar, May Baily’s has been known for its numerous ghost sightings. The bar was even featured on the Travel Channel’s hit TV show Ghost Adventures. A red light adorning the entrance pays homage to the haunt's colorful past.
