iconic venues

Two large spaces lead the way. One with 1716square feet and round-table seating for 84.The other at 2,336 square feet with round-tables eating for 125. In addition, the building offers multiple “break-out” rooms and a popular sky-lit atrium, ideal for less formal meetings or “home-base” refreshment space. Named “IDEA”, this 50’ soaring space bathed in natural light from skylights high above fuels creativity. Food and beverage selections are served effortlessly via the hotel’s nationally recognized restaurant and the building’s robust catering kitchen.

Design wise, the building unites historic architecture with acclaimed furniture design, marketing-leading wireless speed and refined Italian lighting.

Meetings

‍

Inspired meetings spaces at International House live on the hotel’s second floor, the intersection of Architecture, Art andTechnology. Built in 1887, the classical architecture features a monumental statue of Omphale, her epic narrative forever linked to Hercules. Her allegorical female figure reigns atop the building, holding Hercules’ club and wearing his lion skin.Building on the theme, a curated pre-function space is home to the hotel’s internationally recognized Magdalena Gallery. It contains a growing collection of original art which explores the life and legacy of Mary Magdalene and celebrates the divine feminine and power of women generally. Finally, 100 mb wifi, modern A|V technology, handsome furniture by Herman Miller and custom furnishings by designer Lisa Marie Pagano create an uncommonly beautiful, highly functional meeting space designed to stoke creativity.

• The Boardroom sits eight and features not only a rosewood table, handmade by a local craftsman, but an impressive array of timelessly beautiful black and white photographs by the unequalled Herman Leonard. He was the most gifted jazz photographer this nation has ever know, made New Orleans his adopted home and always drank a classic margarita at our bar.As we like to say, “Herman’s photography graces the walls of the White House, the Smithsonian and our House.”
