recorded
his
voice
saying,

Dauphine
Orleans
Hotel
415
Dauphine
St.
An
unforgettable
hotel
in
the
heart
of
the
famous
French
Quarter,
palm-filled
courtyard
beckons
you
to
relax
in
the
shade
or
bask
in
the
sun
at
poolside.
Within
the
18th
century
townhouse
walls
you'll
discover
a
serene
oasis
in
which
to
reflect
upon
your
personal
Haunted
New
Orleans
experience!
Haunted
by
Civil
War
soldiers
and
their
well
dressed
ladies
of
the
evening
in
the
bar,
May
Bailey's,
once
a
bordello.
It
is
said
that
at
night,
the
spirit
of
the
woman
rearranges
the
bottles
in
the
bar,
as
the
soldier
wanders
through
the
courtyard.
The
beds
or
said
to
bounce
and
shake
in
the
early
hours
of
the
morning
and
late
in
the
afternoon.
The
past
blends
seamlessly
into
the
present
in
the
Dauphine
Orleans
Hotel,
which
boasts
a
history
almost
as
old
and
rich
as
the
Crescent
City
itself.
Records
of
the
Dauphine
Orleans'
site
date
from
1775,
and
several
of
the
original
structures
have
survived
the
test
of
time.
One
of
our
most
notable
jewels
is
what
is
now
known
as
our
Audubon
Cottage
where,
from
1821-22,
John
James
Audubon
painted
his
famous
"Birds
of
America"
series.
The
restored
cottage
now
serves
as
our
hotel's
main
meeting
room.
Fourteen
spacious
Patio
Rooms,
some
of
them
suites,
located
across
Dauphine
St.
from
the
hotel's
main
building,
were
originally
built
in
1834
to
serve
as
the
town
home
of
a
prosperous
merchant,
Samuel
Hermann.
The
original
building
contract
outlines
Mr.
Hermann's
very
detailed
instructions
right
down
to
the
size
of
the
nails
and
the
number
of
coats
of
paint
he
required.
He
also
demanded
that
only
the
"best
country
brick,
sand
and
cypress"
be
used
in
the
building's
construction.
In
1991,
the
cottages
were
renovated,
revealing
the
original
brick
walls
and
wooden
posts.
The
handmade
nails
are
believed
to
have
come
from
the
Old
Jean
Lafitte
Blacksmith
Shop,
though
the
infamous
pirate
is
better
known
for
his
career
as
a
buccaneer
than
for
his
blacksmithing
skills.
.
Several
haunted
tales
tell
of
knocks
upon
the
doors
and
sounds
of
ghostly
moans
in
the
rooms.
Much
of
the
hotel
dates
from
the
19th
Century.
A
dark-haired
male
spirit
wearing
a
military
uniform
prefers
the
courtyard,
and
there
you
might
be
able
to
also
catch
a
lightening-fast
glimpse
of
a
dancing
woman.
Someone
likes
to
lock
empty
rooms
from
the
inside,
and
many
people
report
a
sense
of
being
watched.
May
Baily's
Place,
once
one
of
the
better
known
bordellos
in
the
wildly
infamous
red-light
district
known
as
Storyville,
now
serves
as
our
hotel
bar.
Our
"Bordello"
guest
suite
takes
an
appropriate
featured
place
above
May
Baily'
s,
and
a
red
light
still
burns
in
the
courtyard
next
to
it
as
a
testimony
to
its
sordid
history.
Today
guests
are
provided
with
a

of
the
license
issued
to
May
in
1857,
when
sporting
houses
were
legal
in
the
Storyville
District
of
New
Orleans.
The
red
light,
the
memorabilia
and
the
Baily
name
are
all
that
remain
of
an
era
that
made
even
decadent
Old
New
Orleans
blush.
Hotel
Monteleone
Built
in
1886,
this

hotel
has
documented
more
than
a
dozen
earthbound
entities.

from
the
International
Society
of
Paranormal
Research

identified
such
creatures
as
“Red”,
the

William

likely
died
in

walking

Hotel
The
Bourbon

Hotel
Is
A
Historic
Luxury
Hotel
Located
In
deep
in
the
actual
Heart
Of
The
Haunted
French
Quarter
between
the
excitement
of
Bourbon
Street
and
the
quiet
elegance
of
Royal
Street.
Just
steps
away
from
Pat
O*Briens,
Preservation
Hall
and
Mississippi
Riverboats.
This
actual
documented
haunted
hotel
hosts
as
many
as
17
ghosts,
most
of
which
are
small
children.
Locals
say
it
is
the
most
haunted
hotel
in
the
Crescent
City.
Children
have
been
seen
and
heard
running
in
the
halls,
playing
inside
the
rooms,
and
dancing
spectral's
are
seen
in
the
haunted
Grande
ballroom!
A
lonely
figure
of
a
woman
is
said
to
haunt
the
elevator.
And
when
she
is
seen
the
Ghost
of
the
Children
are
said
to
run
away.
The
spirit
of
a
elderly
man
has
been
reported
by
staff
and
guest,
He
is
seen
in
the
great
lobby
reading
a
newspaper
and
smoking
a
large
stinky
cigar.
Some
have
stated,
they
say
you
smell
the
cigar
smoke
first,
he
raises
an
eyebrow,
then
looks
at
you
rudely,
folds
up
his
new
orleans
news
paper
roughly,
stands
and
disappears
right
before
your
eyes.
Quadroon
balls
were
held
in
the
ballroom
here,
and
later
other
parts
of
the
hotel
became
a
convent.
In
recent
times,
a
man
working
alone
on
a
stairwell
said
an
obscene
word
and
immediately
felt
a
slap
on
his
face
(an
outraged
nun,
perhaps?)
Other
ghosts
include
a
young
man
who
still
kisses
the
ladies
who
suit
his
fancy.
A
confederate
soldier
with
a
weapon
has
been
seen
on

seventh
floor,

cozying
up

St.
Lafitte
Guest
House
Lafitte
Guest
House
is
located
1003
Bourbon
St.
on
world-famous
Bourbon
Street
in
New
Orleans.
With
fourteen
guest
rooms
the
history
of
our
Civil-War
era
mansion.
Many
top
amenities
offer
to
guests.
Construction
on
the
house
was
started
in
1848
and
finished
in
1849
by
a
very
prominent
master
builder,
Joshua
Peebles.
The
architect,
Robert
Seaton,
was
responsible
for
such
local
buildings
as
the
New
Orleans
Opera
House
and
Gallier
Hall
{which
has
been
turned
into
a
museum}.
The
home
was
built
for
Paul
Joseph
Gleises
and
his
wife
Marie
Odalie
Ducayet.
The
original
cost
of
the
dwelling
was
a
whooping
$11,700.00,
certainly
a
hefty
price
in
1849
for
a
single
family
dwelling.
Paul
Gleises
was
a
"collector
of
debts"
for
the
New
Orleans
Gas
Company,
not
the
most
prominent
profession,
however,
his
father
who
had
come
to
the
city
from
France
was
New
Orleans'
premier
coachmaker.
Paul
was
39
years
old
at
the
time
of
the
home's
construction.
He
and
his
wife
had
only
been
married
a
couple
of
years.
Marie
Ducayet
had
come
from
a
very
prominent
family
in
New
Orleans
and
had
lived
in
a
plantation
house
on
Bayou
St.
John
until
her
marriage.
The
land
on
which
the
house
sits
was
initially
given
to
Charity
Hospital
by
the
King
of
Spain
in
1793.
The
hospital
burned
down
in
1809,
and
a
wood
and
brick
single
family
dwelling
of
modest
proportions
was
constructed
on
the
site.
The
property
went
through
the
hands
of
many
New
Orleans'
families
including
those
of
Bernard
Marigny,
who
developed
his
very
large
land
holdings
across
Esplanade
avenue
in
what
is
now
known
as
the
Fauborg
Marigny.
Completed,
the
home
consisted
of
a
main
house
with
three
stories
and
an
attached
wing
at
the
rear
of
the
house.
The
attached
building
was
used
to
accommodate
slaves
and
later
the
home's
servants
on
the
second
and
third
levels.
There
was
a
bath
on
the
second
floor
and
on
the
first
floor
was
the
kitchen,
carriage
house,
stable
and
coal
house.
Legend
has
it
that
a
mother
and
two
of
her
children
died
in
room
21.
One
of
the
children
died
in
the
Yellow
Fever
epidemic
and
the
other
hanged
herself
in
the
room.
The
mother
grieved
for
the
remainder
of
her
life
and
died
heart
broken
some
years
later.
Guests
and
employees
report
crying
coming
from
the
room
along
with
an
intense
feeling
of
despair.
A
little
girl
who
died
in
a
yellow-fever
epidemic
reportedly
appears
in
the
mirror
outside
of
Room
21,
which
used
to
be
her
mother's
room.
It
is
also
said
that
her
mother
was
too
upset
when
"Marie"
died
to
leave
the
building,
and
still
occupies
her
old
bedroom.
There
are
reports
of
lights
operating
on
their
own,
perhaps
because
Marie
likes
to
wander
about
the
property.
According
to
family
records,
there
were
six
Gleises
children,
three
of
which
had
reached
adulthood,
with
three
younger
siblings
still
in
the
home.
Shortly
before
the
Civil
War,
the
house
was
deeded
to
Mrs.
Gleises.
They
then
moved
to
Philadelphia
and
later
to
New
York,
never
to
return
to
New
Orleans,
however
Marie
did
retain
ownership
of
the
house
until
the
conclusion
of
the
war
in
1866.
The
house
was
then
sold.
Paul
Gleises
passed
away
in
1898
at
the
age
of
78
and
Marie
lived
on
to
be
90
years
of
age.
The
house
went
through
many
owners
and
incarnations
for
the
next
hundred
years.
In
the
late
1960's
it
came
under
the
management
of
Andrew
Crocchiolo
and
Edward
Doré
until
the
late
70's.
They
left
the
house
for
a
20
year
hiatus
to
pursue
other
interests.
After
managing
major
hotels
throughout
the
country
including
the
Waldorf
Astoria
in
NYC
and
the
historical
Griswald
Inn
in
Connecticut,
they
have
returned
to
Lafitte
Guest
House
as
your
hosts
once
more.

Le

Hotel
(1234
Chartres
St.)
From
its
very
inception,
Le

created
to
capture
the
flavor
and
essence
of
New
Orleans.
Casual
elegance
is
complemented
by
the
charm
of
this
historic
city.
A
full
range
of

is
accented
with
a
personal
touch,
and
the
vibrancy
of
the

Quarter
is
balanced
by
the
quiet
intimacy
of
a
small
hotel.
Le

has
been
in
business
since
1969,
and
is
locally
owned
and
operated.
Since
it's
the
owner's
home,
he's
always
lavished
much
attention
on
it,
making
sure
the
housekeeping
and
maintenance
standards
are
far
above
average.
Many
say
this
site
at
one
time
was
used
as
an
execution
ground.
In
1802,
when
France
took
back
Louisiana
from
Spain,
several
Spanish
soldiers
were
shot
for
treason
on
this
site.
The
ghosts
of
some
of
these

400
building

and
living
quarters
upstairs.
For
many
years
a
hardware
store
occupied
the
site,

is
located
belonged
to
the

a
military
hospital
was
erected
in
1722.

Leon
de
Necke,

the
property
to
Antoine

building
to
a
lawyer

past.
The
Lanaux
Mansion
has
an
intriguing
story
beginning
with
original
owner,
lawyer
Charles
Andrew
Johnson.
A
gentleman
bachelor
with
dreams
of
a
beautiful
home
and
family,
he
built
his
glorious
eleven
thousand
square
foot
mansion.
However,
the
goal
of
having
a
family
with
which
to
share
his
large
and
lovely
home
was
never
realized
by
this
very
private
man.
Although
he
lived
alone
until
his
death,
Mr.
Johnson
was
known
to
have
hobnobbed
with
Confederate
General
Robert
E.
Lee
and
other
prominent
men
of
the
time.
Mr.
Johnson
bequeathed
his
mansion
to
the
woman
he
purportedly
loved
in
silence,
his
partner's
daughter,
Marie
Andry
Lanaux.
In
the
late
1980s
Ruth
Bodenheimer
began
her
painstaking
restoration
of
this
pristine
building.
Ms.
Bodenheimer
has
lovingly
restored
her
home
to
its
original
state.
The
guest
rooms
are
graced
with
vintage
Johnson;
his
furniture,
artworks,
books,
