New Orleans’ French Quarter hotel

History Of The Audubon Cottages

The Audubon Cottages on Dauphine Street, located in New Orleans' French Quarter, was built shortly after two great fires destroyed most of New Orleans in the late 18th century. Since then, our cottage-style New Orleans hotel, its courtyards, and saltwater pool have welcomed many famous and haunted guests. Our French Quarter hotel, the Audubon Cottages on Dauphine Street, was once home to the infamous ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon. American and English actress Elizabeth Taylor admired Cottage Three during her New Orleans stays. Even the afterlife took a liking to our French Quarter hotel and its courtyards inspired by John James Audubon’s work. The ghostly guest, a haunted musician wearing a military uniform is said to visit Cottage Four occasionally. Our collection of hotel suites on Dauphine Street has a history almost as intricate as New Orleans’ French Quarter itself.
