Sound of Saint Vincent

An architectual icon in the Lower Garden District since its conception in the 1860s, the red brick building was originally founded as The Saint Vincent's Infant Asylum by Irish Immigrant Margaret Haughery, a bakery owner and philanthropist celebrated for her humanitarian services in New Orleans. Keeping much of the original architecture, Hotel Saint Vincent honors the property's storied past and Margaret's legacy through a highly considered restoration—incorporating an elegant, modern design that complements the property's historic character. Today, the property features 75 newly-designed guest rooms and lush public spaces, including an interior courtyard with a Saltillo enclosed swimming pool, outdoor verandas, event center, signature bars, and two full service restaurants—San Lorenzo, serving coastal Italian menu, and a French-Vietnamese-style café and bakery, Elizabeth Street Café. The hotel is also home to ByGeorge New Orleans, an offshoot of the Austin-based retail boutique.
