Chateau LeMoyne - Named After the Father of New Orleans . The designer of our French Quarter hotel, James Gallagher, is an Irish immigrant who settled in New Orleans later changing his name to James Gallier. Gallier is actually the mastermind behind some of Crescent City’s most impressive structures ever built. The Prominent New Orleans architect designed portions of what would one day be the Chateau LeMoyne in 1847. Because of space limitations, most houses were built to the line of the banquette in Vieux Carre, but our hotel is comprised of three elegant Greek Revival townhouses set several feet back from the street nestled behind small gardens, making the Chateau LeMoyne quite an unusual and authentic piece of property. Beginning at 317 Dauphine Street and winding its way around the downtown-lake corner, the Chateau LeMoyne estate ends in a Gallier-designed edifice on the 900 block of Bienvielle, which was built around 1857. A true treasure of New Orleans, our French Quarter boutique hotel contains a rich history that dates back even years before its official grand opening as a hotel in October 1971.
