Hotel De Paris
The Hotel de Paris in Georgetown opened in 1875, founded by Louis Dupuy, a native of Alencon, France. He was

considered the father of domestic science (today, we call it home economics). Dupuy's Norman-style hotel and luxurious restaurant made culinary history throughout the Western United States of America.

The hotel, now a museum, was renowned for its architecture and cuisine. Even as a museum, it still retains its Rococo atmosphere, French courtyard and diamond-dust mirrors.
