The place
At 210 St. Charles Avenue in a four-story, mid-19th-century Italianate building on New Orleans' central streetcar corridor.
The concept
Sam Nazarian's sbe brings its HQ Hotels & Residences collection to New Orleans in a building that housed Dixie's Bar of Music in the 1940s, the jazz venue run by clarinetist and bandleader Yvonne 'Miss Dixie' Fasnacht and once home to a 35-foot Xavier Gonzalez mural now preserved at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Developer Bates Development and builder The McDonnel Group restored the Italianate shell, 13-foot ceilings and all, and layered in Art Deco details for a 34-room boutique property aimed at design-minded locals and creatives as much as visiting business travelers.
Dining & wellness
S Bar, a lobby lounge serving craft cocktails and light shareable plates, is the hotel's sole dining venue at launch.
