Henry Howard Hotel, New Historic Boutique Hotel in New Orleans
The Henry Howard Hotel has been reinvented as an inspired, service focused 18-bedroom boutique hotel that maintains the authenticity of the original double gallery 1860s townhouse style mansion while adding modern touches. Built by esteemed nineteenth-century New Orleans architect Henry Howard, this sophisticated hotel favors beautiful Greek revival architecture that boasts Corinthian columns and gorgeous galleries with walk-through windows, flooding each room with natural light.

New York city-based Hunter Mabry Design and its Founder, Lauren Mabry, created the vision for the redesign, which sought to honor Henry Howard's traditional historic elements while creating a modern and inviting space. Each thoughtfully designed room will welcome guests with a curated mix of vintage and custom-designed furniture, second line instruments, and commissioned artwork by local artist Hayley Gaberlavage.

The common areas and guestrooms contain accents from graphic designer, Kathleen Fitzgerald. A New Orleans-inspired toile wallpaper depicts a handful of iconic landmarks and colorful characters, including the hotel's namesake, Henry Howard, in addition to custom H wallpaper, resembling the columns on the front porch.

With its sprawling common areas, the Henry Howard Hotel is an ideal location to host special events and parties. The hotel's Parlor, including a bar, 12-foot ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, crown molding and red pine flooring, will set the scene for a variety of affairs, from seated dinners to cocktail parties. The backyard courtyard is fitting for an intimate wedding or social gathering, while the Penthouse Suite will double as a hospitality suite to host bridal gatherings or small groups.
