Hi New Orleans Hostel
Spaces
36,004 SF available for lease
Building description
1028 Canal Street, positioned on world-famous Canal Street at the gateway into New Orleans’ iconic French Quarter, offers a rare opportunity to operate a hospitality asset on one of the city’s most recognized corridors. Located on the corner of Canal and Rampart Streets and catty-corner to the Saenger Theatre, the property benefits from exceptional visibility and convenient access via both the Rampart-St. Claude and Canal Street streetcar lines in a setting where tourism — the city’s main economic driver — and historic New Orleans converge. The site currently operates as HI New Orleans, a 44-room and 210-bed hostel with a combination of extraordinarily well-maintained private suites and dorm-style accommodations. The opportunity to assume the leasehold interest in this asset represents one of the most strategically positioned hospitality plays available in New Orleans today — an operational platform with proven performance, multiple repositioning paths, and an irreplaceable Canal Street address.
