Located just two blocks from the French Quarter, the oldest neighbourhood in New Orleans, the International House Hotel expresses the neoclassical architectural style of the French Beaux Arts. Over a century old this stylish boutique hotel has experienced three major incarnations as firstly a bank, then the first World Trade center in the world, before becoming an iconic local establishment. An international travel destination, the International House captures the vivacity and cross-cultural heritage of New Orleans with gentle elegance and grace and embodies all that is good about the city.
The result of loving creative processes, the International House Hotel has been furnished and decorated with an extensive mix of objects epitomizing the New Orleans style. Taking inspiration from Louisiana itself, handcrafted chandeliers and local woods and metals blend harmoniously with the elegance of the setting and modern-day comforts. The Pagano designed penthouses reflect a “pristine but tattered grace” whilst the original hotel owner and designer, Sean Cummings, created a more sensual and sophisticated feel to the interior design.
