Overview

Capturing the spirit of the French Quarter, the Maison de Ville and Audubon Cottages is a unique 18th Century boutique-style hotel and collection of two- bedroom private cottages located between Bourbon Street and Royal Street in New Orleans, La. Ideal for romantic getaways, the hotel is the perfect blend of Old World elegance and New World excitement. Guests can board a streetcar and visit the Riverwalk and Harrah's Casino or meander the streets of the French Quarter, with quaint wrought iron balconies and shaded courtyards.
Guests of the Maison de Ville and Audubon Cottages ring a doorbell and are warmly shown into a small home-style foyer where their journey into aristocratic splendor begins. The hotel is divided into the main three-story building, which hosts 17 individually decorated guestrooms, and seven two-bedroom cottages located two blocks away. Guests are invited to enjoy the sparkling pool, located by the cottages and surrounded by lush tropical foliage. Each morning, guests may enjoy a complimentary Continental breakfast served in the courtyard or delivered to the guestrooms. During evenings, guests can sip complimentary port or sherry in the 1700's style parlor. Chefs at The Bistro at Maison de Ville prepare authentic French cuisine and offer an extensive wine selection in a Parisian bistro with red leather booths, wood floors and Impressionist-style paintings. Al fresco dining on the courtyard is available, weather permitting.

The 17 guestrooms and seven guest cottages of Maison de Ville and Audubon Cottages are individually decorated with period furnishings, hardwood floors and feather beds with luxurious high-thread-count linens. Suite bathrooms boast premium bath products.

Area map

A short guide to French Quarter

With its mix of sacred and profane, the French Quarter defines laissez-faire. This 85-block area is home to Bourbon Street’s rowdy bars, as well as Royal Street’s upmarket antiques. The devil’s music—in the form of New Orleans jazz—thrives at Preservation Hall. Nearby, hymns accompany Mass at St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square. A block away, French Market vendors hawk foods and souvenirs.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 24, 2007

I found this hotel on hotels.com and thought it looked cute. My husband and I knew that we wanted to stay in the french quarter and this place is amazing! It's so close to everything , the beds are so comfortable, the service is great, you have fresh breakfast wherever you would like to be served (room, courtyard, parlor), wine tasting in the afternoons. I want to suggest this to everyone who goes to NO.

Recommended Trip type: Romance "Wonderful hotel!"

Reviewed by Arkansas Trav of Fayetteville, Arkansas on Jun 27, 2007

If you want to truly experience the historical ambience of the French Quarter, this is the hotel for you. The staff makes you feel like you are staying in a five star resort. The free continental breakfast is served to you each morning on silver trays complete with a rose. You may specify the exact time and place you would like to be served. If you eat in the courtyard outside your room, you are treated to live jazz that filters into the courtyard from The Court of the Two Sisters next door. You may start your evening with wine or sherry served in the lobby. The hotel is only steps from Bourbon Street, but you never hear the noise at all. The only drawback is the small rooms but that is easily overlooked if you keep in mind this is a historic hotel and has not been altered from its original construction. The impeccable service makes up for any faults. New Orleans is back!
