NOPSI New Orleans, commonly known as the NOPSI Hotel, is situated within the historic NOPSI building in the heart of downtown New Orleans, Louisiana.

This nine-story structure originally served as the headquarters for New Orleans Public Service Incorporated, the principal utility provider in the city established in 1922. Designed by the architectural firm Favrot and Livaudais, the building was completed in 1927 and is noted for its exquisite architectural details, particularly an elaborately decorated lobby reminiscent of a bank’s main floor.

Following NOPSI’s relocation in 1983, the building stood unused for several years. It gained recognition in 1991 as a contributing property to the New Orleans Lower Central Business District on the National Register of Historic Places.

Transformed into a hotel with 217 guest rooms, it opened its doors in 2017. Since 2016, the property has been included in the Historic Hotels of America program, under the auspices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The project exemplifies adaptive reuse, a redevelopment approach emphasized by New Orleans City Business in 2021 due to scarcity of suitable properties within the central business district. Today, the NOPSI Hotel ranks among New Orleans’ leading accommodations.

Positioned at the northwest intersection of Union and Baronne Streets, the building’s L-shaped design encloses a small plaza that belongs to the property. It lies just 0.2 miles northeast of Canal Street and one block away from Bourbon Street, both vital gateways to the French Quarter.

Among its amenities, the hotel offers a rooftop outdoor swimming pool.
