Hotel Maison De Ville, Hotel in den Vereinigten Staaten
Hotel Maison De Ville is a building over 200 years old in the French Quarter, north of Jackson Square. The property includes the main structure, a courtyard with garden and fountain, a converted carriage house with guest rooms, and four small cottage buildings that once served different purposes.
The building was constructed after the major fire of 1788 that destroyed much of the city, with the original structure built by Jean-Baptiste Lilie Sarpy. The four cottage structures date back to the 1750s and were originally part of the residential complex.
The property and its cottages reflect daily life in New Orleans as it existed centuries ago. The former slave quarters show how different people lived together and reveal how the city's social structure and uses of space changed over time.
The property is located in the walkable French Quarter, with nearby historic neighborhoods and street-level attractions easy to explore on foot. The courtyard garden offers a quiet retreat, though busy streets and dining options are just steps away from the main area.
The property has a connection to famous American playwright Tennessee Williams, who stayed there often in the 20th century with a room named in his honor. The former slave quarters from the 1750s rank among the oldest preserved structures in New Orleans, apart from the Ursuline Convent.
