Maison Dupuy Hotel

For An Authentic French Quarter Experience Treat yourself to the very best of New Orleans. Dozens of hotels carry French Quarter addresses, but few New Orleans hotels can claim the rich heritage of the Maison Dupuy. Our hotel is nestled within the Vieux Carre, or "Old Square," the original seven square blocks along the Mississippi River established as the French Quarter in 1722. No new hotel rooms have been permitted in this exclusive region of New Orleans since 1972. Don't settle for one of countless hotels crammed at the edge of the French Quarter in the "Rope Walk" area of New Orleans. For accommodations within the true heart of French Quarter, choose the Maison Dupuy. For A Distinguished New Orleans History The Maison Dupuy has long stood as a prominent landmark of New Orleans. Our French Quarter hotel was built on the site of the nation's first cotton press, constructed by New Orleans' first elected mayor, John Pitot, in 1602. Eventually, two brothers, Clarence and Milton Dupuy, purchased the site and transformed seven town homes into their magnificent family residence. The Maison Dupuy, or "House of Dupuy," soon became the most elegant housing in the French Quarter, and continues to maintain the largest and most beautiful courtyard in the Vieux Carre. The Maison Dupuy is a non smoking hotel and only allows smoking in the Courtyard areas.
