Maison DuPuy First Timer to NO

and we decided to stay at the Maison DuPuy. Is this a good location to be within the city. We will not have a rental car so I want to make sure we are within walking distance and are not to far off the beaten path.

We will be in over Halloween weekend and the Saturday night party is we will be attending is at the Sugar Mill. Does anyone know if this within walking distance?

Maison DuPuy First Timer to NO

The Maison DuPuy is a very nice hotel that%26#39;s located near the midpoint of the length (from Canal to Esplanade) of the French Quarter, and within one block of the lakeside boundary of the Quarter. Simply put, that means that it%26#39;s a bit removed from the noise and frantic activity on Bourbon St., but still within walking distance of the entire French Quarter.

Since it%26#39;s your first time in New Orleans, I believe the concensus will be that you shouldn%26#39;t walk towards N. Rampart (one block from your hotel) at night. Instead, walk towards the river (towards Bourbon St.) and you should be fine. During the day, the entire neighborhood is safe to walk and explore.

The Sugar House is near the Convention Center and is not, in my opinion, within walking distance. Taxis are inexpensive and plentiful and I would recommend your using them to go back and forth.

Here%26#39;s a Frommer%26#39;s review of the Maison DuPuy.

Sugar Mill is on Convention Center Blvd. It%26#39;s a bit far to walk but a cab won%26#39;t be very expensive.

The Maison Dupuy is fine. It%26#39;s a bit dowdy and dated, in my opinion, but is a good solid hotel.

Enjoy the weekend!
