A Visual Romp Through the New Hotel Saint Vincent in New Orleans

Hotelier Liz Lambert first toured the empty, former Saint Vincent Guest House in 2014. “The ornate iron work that runs up the facade is the first thing I remember,” she says, “and once inside, the wide halls and winding, broad staircase. The place was a mess—old stained and torn green carpet, broken furniture, mismatched everything. And, when we walked into the courtyard, doves flew out from the eaves.” Her reimagined, restored, revamped hotel still greets visitors with wrought-iron ornamentation on double-level, deep front porches.
