About Hotel Saint Vincent

Located in a landmark 1861 building in the Lower Garden District of New Orleans, Hotel Saint Vincent is a 75-room hotel from Austin-based hospitality group McGuire Moorman Lambert Hospitality. Opened in 2021, the hotel was created by industry veterans Larry McGuire, Tom Moorman, and Liz Lambert.

An architectural icon since the 1860s, the red-brick Beaux Arts building was originally founded as Saint Vincent’s Infant Asylum by Irish immigrant Margaret Haughery, a bakery owner and philanthropist celebrated for her humanitarian work in New Orleans. Today, Hotel Saint Vincent honors the property’s storied past and Margaret’s legacy through a thoughtful restoration that preserves its historic architecture while introducing elegant, modern design.
