Beyond the stately double doors marking the entrance to the restored Bourbon Orleans Hotel lie dazzling legends of New Orleans' colorful history. Dating back to the early 1800's, the Bourbon Orleans houses the enchanting Orleans Ballroom. Located on the third floor, it was built in 1815 to cater to the city's insatiable love for dancing and entertainment. Masquerade Balls, Carnival Balls and even the notorious Quadroom Balls, in which beautiful fair-skinned black women or quadrooms were selected to be the mistresses of wealthy Creole gentlemen were held in the Orleans Ballroom.
