Fairmont Returns to New Orleans with 250 Rooms in the Central Business District

Sunday, November 8, 2026 · Travel · GSM News

The Fairmont New Orleans officially opened on November 2, 2026, ending the Fairmont brand's absence of about 20 years from the city. It is also Fairmont's 100th hotel worldwide.

The hotel sits at 1010 Common Street in the Central Business District, near the French Quarter and Caesars Superdome, in a converted 1970 former Bank of New Orleans building. It has 250 guest rooms and suites across 17 floors of the 31-story tower. Developed by Kailas Companies and operated by Fairmont, the hotel partnered with celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse and his team on two restaurants, including Delmonico Steakhouse and The Café by Emeril.

Coming in December are the Fairmont Gold floors on the 29th and 30th floors and, on the 31st floor, the rooftop restaurant and lounge "Bleu Perdu" and a pool. Fairmont said the opening is an important step in its international expansion and strengthens parent company Accor's position in luxury hospitality, adding a new high-end option in downtown New Orleans.
