Hotel Saint Vincent is a 75-room boutique hotel on Magazine Street in New Orleans’ Lower Garden District. Its red-brick 1861 building, once an infant asylum, now holds tropical courtyards, wide verandas and a pool with an outdoor bar. Stay for the distinctive historic-meets-modern design, then eat at San Lorenzo for Coastal Italian cooking or stop at Elizabeth for a casual meal. The hotel also has a lobby bar, free Wi-Fi, free parking and an outdoor pool.
From infant asylum to hotel
The building at 1507 Magazine Street dates to 1861, when local philanthropist Margaret Haughery founded Saint Vincent’s Infant Asylum. It cared for children who had lost their parents to the Civil War and epidemics. The former asylum is now a 75-room hotel, opened in 2021, with modern design choices alongside the historic brick structure.
That history gives the property a specific connection to New Orleans. Its restoration keeps the old building at the center of the experience, while the interiors and shared spaces bring in a more contemporary style.
Courtyards, verandas and the pool
The grounds are arranged around inner courtyards, with palm trees and tropical plants among the red brick. Wide verandas connect the outdoor spaces and give guests places to sit away from the pool. The pool area has Saltillo tile, striped furniture and an adjacent bar serving drinks and bites.
Inside, the hotel has a lobby bar, a guest-only lounge and a lifestyle boutique. The Chapel Club is the more private lounge option for hotel guests. The property also has room service, laundry service and accessible facilities.
Restaurants and bars
San Lorenzo is the hotel’s Coastal Italian dining room. Dishes associated with the menu include squid ink pasta and carbonara, as well as a Caesar salad with white anchovies and chile breadcrumbs. Elizabeth is the more casual choice for lunch, described as a French-Vietnamese bakery and cafe.
For drinks, choose between the pool bar and Paradise Bar, the lobby lounge. Italian margaritas made with Cappelletti and Mint juleps are among the drinks named at the hotel. At the pool bar, fries served with green Caesar dressing make an easy snack alongside a cocktail.
Getting around and choosing a room
The hotel is on Magazine Street in the Lower Garden District, a convenient base for exploring New Orleans without relying on a car. Free parking is available if you are driving. The property also has free Wi-Fi, an outdoor pool and pet-friendly accommodation.
