International House isn't just a place to stay; it's a portal to the soul of New Orleans. In a Beaux Arts building close to the French Quarter, this former World Trade Center is an architectural, elegant and quirky nod to everything this vibrant city has to offer.
A blend of European, Caribbean and African influences mirror the city’s history, and magic and mystery are woven into the design through local art and objects, annual events and rituals and a uniquely curated cocktail bar. Classic and timeless, this is a hotel for the spiritual and the spirited.
Accommodation at International House
117 hip and elegant rooms, suites and penthouses, are design-led in their finish. Modern and spacious, they feature either king or queen sized beds, luxurious white linens, glass showers, and lots have inspiring city views. Suites have additional living spaces and are stylishly and thoughtfully finished with sparkling chandeliers, marble vanity spaces and black and white photos. Penthouses are opulently finished and benefit from private outdoor terraces to take in the city atmosphere day or night.
Dining at International House
Named after voodoo divine spirits - Loa - the hotel bar offers creative cocktails and a unique ambience created by the bar’s style, textiles, design and lighting, that draws inspiration from cultures across the world. A 17 course “Omakase” tasting menu accompanies the carefully curated drinks on offer and is an experience in itself. But nearby you’ll find plenty of well recommended cafes, bars and restaurants for everything from wine and cheese, to Creole home cooking and Sunday brunch.
