Getting to New OrleansIf you are flying in and you do not have transportation arranged, we strongly recommend either Uber/Lyft, or the French Quarter shuttle service, which offers discounts for round trips.
Driving: The closest major interstate is I-10, which runs through the north part of New Orleans heading east-west. Here are driving directions from the hotel's website: I-10 Heading East: Take I-10 East to the I-10/610 split, pass the "New Orleans Business District" and merge right at the Slidell/1-10 split. Continue on I-10 to the "Orleans Avenue/Vieux Carre" exit (235-A). The ramp exit will merge with Orleans Avenue. Move into the far left lane and take the U-turn at the sign that reads "N. Rampart via Toulouse." Immediately merge into the far right lane which will lead you to the Toulouse entrance into the French Quarter. The Maison Dupuy will be on your left at the end of the first block. I-10 Heading West: Exit at Orleans/Vieux Carre exit. At the end of the ramp, take a left at the light. Follow Orleans Avenue (which will go back under the Interstate) for 3 blocks until you reach the U-turn on Orleans at the sign that reads "N. Rampart via Toulouse." Immediately merge into the far right lane which will lead you to the Toulouse entrance into the French Quarter. The Maison Dupuy will be on your left at the end of the first block. Parking: We have a special convention rate ($20/day) which should be automatically provided if you booked through our direct link. |
