A True Historic Gem! 🏛️💎

When planning our four-night holiday in New Orleans, we wanted a hotel right in the heart of the neighborhood that still preserved its authentic historic charm. We weren’t looking for a modern chain hotel — and the Dauphine Hotel turned out to be the perfect choice! We booked a King Superior Room in the Hermann House, staying from Monday to Thursday nights. The room was absolutely wonderful! We had access to a beautiful balcony facing Dauphine Street 🌿, the bed was super comfortable 🛏️, the room stayed cool even in the humid weather, and the hot water never ran out — truly ideal! That said, there’s something you should know — something most people might not expect when staying in a historic building: the outside sounds are very noticeable. At 6 AM, when IV Waste came to collect trash and clean the streets, we woke up to the noise as if they were right outside our window — because they were! 😅 The room doors are original and vintage (which we loved!), but you’ll notice some light seeping through around the edges. Still, the property is so well-maintained that we had zero issues with bugs or critters 🐜🚫. You might also hear people singing, arguing, or cheering on Bourbon Street after the parties wind down — but honestly, it all added to the authentic vibe 🎭🎶. We visited during the week the rainy season ended, so the noise level was milder compared to peak season. All in all, this is a beautifully preserved piece of history, full of character and charm. I would absolutely stay here again! Highly recommend for travelers who value uniqueness and a true sense of place. #HistoricHotel #NewOrleansCharm #FrenchQuarter #TravelThrowback #UniqueStay
