The Verandah Hotel was an architecturally significant antebellum hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. The Verandah operated from 1839 to 1855, when it was gutted by a building fire.[1] It was located kitty corner from the St. Charles Hotel.[2] The design of the Verandah apparently started a fad for cast-iron balconies in the Deep South.[3][4]
