Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, in partnership with Kaila Companies, is bringing the Fairmont brand back to New Orleans in 2025 with the opening of the Fairmont New Orleans, located in the Central Business District as part of the redevelopment of 1010 Common
Street.
1010 Common Street, formerly the Bank of New Orleans Building, was completed in 1971 and was originally designed by the same architects who designed New York’s One World Trade Center and Chicago’s Willis Tower.
It’s currently listed on
the National Register of Historic Places and is 31 stories high. Fairmont New Orleans will have 18 stories of the building, with 210 luxury guest rooms and 40 suites, three food and drink venues, including a rooftop bar, a full-service spa and a swimming
pool.

“Fairmont New Orleans will be an impressive new addition to Fairmont’s luxury portfolio in a key North American market,” shared
Omer Acar, CEO, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “The city emanates an undeniable energy, with incredible heritage and culture at its core, which is a perfect fit for the iconic Fairmont brand."
"The unique character and vibrancy of New Orleans will be front
and center in the varied venues and guest experiences we are imagining for this magnificent hotel," Acar continued.
