About Hotel Saint Vincent

Built in 1861 as Margaret Haughery's Saint Vincent's Infant Asylum and reimagined in 2021 by Lambert McGuire Design, Hotel Saint Vincent is a 75-room, Michelin Key-winning hotel anchoring the corner of Magazine and Race in New Orleans' Lower Garden District. Behind the original wrought-iron gates and grand staircase, moody art deco and mid-century Italian interiors meet a Saltillo-tiled courtyard pool, the French-Vietnamese Elizabeth Street Café, coastal Italian restaurant San Lorenzo, and the Chapel Club lounge. It's a hotel built on a legacy of care for New Orleans — and that same spirit of hospitality extends to the people who run it.
