HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: The former Governor House Motor Hotel is a six-story hotel built in 1963 as the first motor hotel in the New Orleans Central Business District. The steel-frame building is clad in brick and designed in the French Quarter Revival Style, making prominent use of iconic elements such as French doors, shutters, arched openings, and balconies. The building's exterior has not been altered since the hotel opened. The original building included a restaurant, three bars, two meeting rooms, a swimming pool and cabana, and restrooms - which are historic contributing elements in addition to the hotel and parking structure. The building was placed on the National Registry of Historic Places on May 31, 2016.
