History
Situated on the corner of Canal and Burgundy Streets, The Saint Hotel offers a glimpse into the past, and is noted for its architectural and historical significance. Formerly known as the Audubon Building, construction on the original structure began in September 1907, but was converted to an office building in June 1908 after the foundation was installed. It never operated as a hotel, only as an office building until 1997, when it was closed.
The Audubon Building's original developer in 1909 was William Mason-Smith, who at that time was also the President of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange. Frank M. Andrews of New York, the building's original architect, two years later would develop and operate the world's largest hotel (at the time) in New York, the Hotel McAlpin. The hotel still stands today at 34th and Broadway in New York City, though it has been converted to an apartment building.
Interior demolition on the Audubon Building began in early 2004, however work eased in 2005 and the property remained untouched until D. Mark Wyant purchased the building in 2010 and began renovation construction.
