Reviving a Landmark

The 31-story former Bank of New Orleans building is being reborn as a beacon of Southern hospitality, according to a release. The hotel will offer 250 rooms and 40 suites, each designed with nods to New Orleans’ architectural past—featuring ironwork balconies, Art Deco light fixtures, and high ceilings.

Suites on upper floors will provide panoramic views of the Mississippi River and Crescent City skyline.

Dining and Nightlife Elevated

Fairmont New Orleans will feature three distinctive dining venues:

  • A grand lobby brasserie offering Creole cuisine
  • A rooftop oyster and champagne bar
  • A jazz lounge honoring the city’s musical heritage

These spaces aim to attract not only hotel guests but also locals, re-establishing the property as a cultural and culinary hub.

Event Spaces and Business Travel

With 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting space—including a grand ballroom and sky-level terrace—the hotel is poised to become a favorite for weddings, conferences, and social events.

A rooftop pool, luxury spa, and 24-hour fitness studio round out the wellness offerings.

Accessible, Elegant, and Rooted in Culture

With Fairmont’s signature service and local authenticity, the hotel promises to cater to both luxury leisure travelers and discerning business guests. Just blocks from Bourbon Street, the Superdome, and the Convention Center, the location is unmatched.

Rates expected from $450 USD per night.
