1830 Dauphine House
Bed and Breakfast

Built in 1860 and located just one and a half blocks from the exciting French Quarter near Bourbon and Esplanade Avenue, Dauphine House offers cozy lodging with "Big Easy" charm -- an attractive hotel alternative. This enchanting bed and breakfast inn is perfect for spending a week or weekend in New Orleans, the heartbeat of Louisiana. Each of the three guest accommodations includes a private bath, refrigerator, microwave, cable television, telephone and coffee maker.

Begin your day with the inn's Chicory coffee, fresh fruit, muffins and juice. Enjoy the French Quarter by strolling through the 300-year-old city, exploring antique shops, admiring ornate balconies laden with flowers and ferns, and listening to the street musicians. Discover a restaurant that tantalizes your tastebuds, or take a buggy ride through the quaint streets of the Vieux Carré.

Visitors to the Crescent City enjoy river cruises on the mighty Mississippi, tour beautiful antebellum plantations, ride the trolley through the Garden District or wander leisurely through the lush grounds of the Audubon Park and Zoo. At night, experience Bourbon Street, that wildly entertaining, adult Disneyland.

When you need to relax from sight-seeing, return to Dauphine House for a siesta or a chat with other guests and your host, Karen Jeffries, on the patio. Karen lives on-site and is happy to help answer questions and make recommendations and reservations for restaurants, attractions and exciting things to do in the city.

Whenever you decide to come to New Orleans, chances are you will be just in time for a festival complete with zydeco music and Cajun cuisine. This, after all, is the festival capital of the world, celebrating everything from alligators to strawberries! Besides Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, New Orleans has the French Quarter Festival, the Tennessee Williams Festival, Southern Decadence, Anne Rice's Halloween party and the Sugar Bowl, just to name a few.
