“Fairmont New Orleans (Opening November 2026)”
“Built 1970 Renovated 2026”
“So I did a google search and it stated that a new Fairmont luxury hotel was opening up Summer 2025 in a 31 story building. Its obviously past that date now.”
“Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is heading back to New Orleans with a new property slated to open in summer 2025. Fairmont New Orleans will be part of a redevelopment project that will transform the former Bank of New Orleans Building, a 31-storey skyscraper and the city's 10th tallest building, located at 1010 Common Street in the Central Business District.”
“Completed in 1971 and originally designed by architects Skidmore Owings & Merrill, famed for the Willis Tower in Chicago and One World Trade Center in New York, the building is a masterful example of International Style architecture”
