New Orleans Maison Dupuy Hotel Review

When I first started doing my research for our trip to New Orleans, I must admit I quickly became so overwhelmed with the hundreds upon hundreds of hotels there were to choose from I almost backed out.

We ended up staying at the Maison Dupuy Hotel, and this is my review and tour. Located in the heart of the historic French Quarter, close to the Audubon Butterfly Garden, this hotel has a beautiful lobby, a terrific outdoor hot pool, and classic architecture and modern amenities.

Though, from my past experiences of staying in hotels in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Mexico, I have learned an insanely valuable lesson. Contact the people who know all you need to know about the place you are about to visit. And, not only do they know everything, they absolutely love to talk about it and give helpful advice.

The New Orleans Convention Business Bureau became my go-to-best friend for planning the entire trip. I can not even tell you how absolutely relieving that was.

Maison Dupuy Hotel, French Quarter

My biggest challenge was finding the right hotel for my boys and me. This was to be our first single-parent travel, my husband had to work and I simply didn’t want to sit around waiting for him when we could go out and explore. So finding a hotel that would be close to everything, have good service, a pool (a huge necessity), and be safe was what we needed.

If you don’t know much about the French Quarters one thing you read about everywhere is Bourbon Street- without a doubt one of the most famous streets. However, the most important tidbit that you barely read is that staying on Bourbon would suck. Unless you are a partier and are into loud music and a lot of happy-go-lucky drinking folk, you will most likely not get a wink of sleep.

We had a blast walking on Bourbon Street every day, but am so grateful we didn’t stay there. Sarah and Erica (from NOLA CVB) steered me to Maison Dupuy.

Hooray – our home for one week, the Maison Dupuy turned out to be one of the loveliest boutique hotels my family and I have ever stayed in.

Touring Maison Dupuy and Why I Recommend Staying Here

Maison Dupuy is located on Burgundy and Toulouse Street, about two blocks from Bourbon and less than an eight-minute walk from Jackson Square, a great spot with a rich history. In other words, it was literally in the heart of the French Quarters, without the noise that could easily go along with it.

The Entrance, Parking, and Lobby Area of Maison Dupuy

Did you know that Maison Dupuy was the last hotel to be built in the French Quarters? After it opened its doors in 1973, the Vieux Carre Commission banned any more hotel development. Interestingly enough though, the hotel wasn’t built as a hotel but five neighboring townhouses turned into a hotel.

Before entering the lobby of Maison Dupuy, there is a valet and a place for you to park your car. And the lobby is really spacious, with a concierge which we use often.

Pool And Courtyard Area

The entire Maison Dupuy hotel has five floors and is like a square, where all the rooms look out onto a courtyard in the center of it. The courtyard is also home to the lovely pool which we enjoyed every single day multiple times.

We were lucky with the weather, however, the pool was heated all the time, and even when the sun went down, and it got quite chilly out my kids were still loving the pool.

Fun Fact: Maison Dupuy has the largest and most scenic courtyard in the French Quarters.

A courtyard is a fun place to simply chill out. We met several people who were staying at the Maison Dupuy Hotel for the second and third time – a really good sign.

Our Room At Maison Dupuy

Upon arrival at Maison Dupuy, I was charmed by the unique character of the hotel. Out of the 200 bedrooms, 42 boast balconies—some offering views of the vibrant street life while others overlook the tranquility of the courtyard.

We stayed in the Deluxe Double Double room style which had two queen-sized beds. They were comfy, clean, and spacious enough. Apart from this, each room is air-conditioned (a must in New Orleans!), has a flat-screen TV, and coffee maker. But our favorite part was the view. The whole time we spent in New Orleans, it was beautiful and warm.

The balcony was undoubtedly my favorite feature of the room. So, having a room with a balcony overseeing the pool and courtyard made you feel like you were truly on vacation. We had free Wi-Fi, and I loved my little work area. With cable for the kids to unwind in between attractions and pool time, I have to say I absolutely loved being here.  I felt safe and taken care of.

Other Useful Amenities of Maison Dupuy 

There is a restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with plenty of cocktail specials during the day. A fitness center that is open 24 hours. Business center – they have an area where you can use their computers, print, and other stuff that you need to take care of. Just have your room key, and it is all yours. They are also known for being one of the best places for smaller wedding venues and plenty of private parties.

NOTE – While we were staying there, a small wedding was held on a Saturday night. The music was loud, and I was really worried this would be going on all night. But by 10 pm, they were totally finished with respect to the guests.

Why Maison Dupuy Wins in My Opinion

The hotel is simply gorgeous – the lobby and all its areas are beautiful! And, it’s not because it’s brand new (it isn’t) it’s just beautifully maintained. The staff is top-notch, friendly, and super helpful.

The location was perfect for us. To be in the heart of New Orleans but tucked away so you can sleep and take a break when needed from the chaos, is key.  And having the pool to come back to after a hot day walking around was a huge plus!

Maison Dupuy has been great at holding onto its history and simply catering to people who want an authentic New Orleans stay without the noise. If you are a family, like we were, or just looking for a quiet place to stay in the middle of all the action, I highly recommend Maison Dupuy. Don’t miss out on this gem when planning your next trip to New Orleans!
