History

The City of New Orleans is steeped in history and The Saint New Orleans is no exception. Just by stepping through the entrance, guests will feel the historical ties that are foundational to the property itself. The building was built in 1910 and was formerly the Audubon Building, a historic landmark. Prior to 2012, the building housed multiple offices & retail space. With a story as rich as our brand, discover how The Saint New Orleans, An Autograph Collection is exactly like nothing else.

Rumor Has It...

Of the offices housed, it is rumored that Lee Harvey Oswald’s attorney (Oswald was found guilty by The Warren Commission for John F. Kennedy’s assassination) met with the FBI on the 8th floor of the building on the same day that Oswald was shot & killed by Jack Ruby.

A Nod to our Past
