Crescent Hotels & Resorts adds the historic NOPSI Hotel in New Orleans to its Latitudes: Lifestyles by Crescent collection. The former headquarters of New Orleans Public Service Inc., NOPSI is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America.
The NOPSI hotel is a symbol of New Orleans' Jazz Age legacy, reborn as a luxury hotel catering to sophisticated travelers. The architecturally unique building retains its original architectural details, including distinctive sweeping windows, high ceilings, and cast-iron rails. With 217 rooms and 60 expansive suites, the NOPSI has elegant furnishings inspired by the building's history, complemented by local artwork and panoramic views of the New Orleans skyline. The hotel even has private terrace accommodations on the penthouse level.
Atop the hotel, the dynamic rooftop pool and bar, Above the Grid, serves as a year-round hotspot with poolside bites, handcrafted cocktails and sweeping views of the city’s skyline. To further elevate the guest experience, the hotel recently added a retractable roof to its rooftop pool deck.
The hotel’s restaurant, Public Service, serves contemporary cuisine from an open-display kitchen and modern raw bar. Transporting guests to the 1800s, Henry’s Gin Bar + Backyard offers an atmospheric setting with an outdoor patio for enjoying cocktails, light bites and private events. The historic bar pays homage to Henry Ramos, who first created the Original Gin Fizz in 1888, which has since become a staple for modern bartenders.
The centrally located NOPSI hotel ensures easy access to Bourbon Street, the French Quarter, Garden District, trendy Warehouse District, and the Superdome. The hotel has an array of indoor and outdoor settings that provide magical backdrops for weddings, meetings and events.
