SAINTS AND ANGELS

The artfully restored Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, school, rectory and convent at 2317 Burgundy Street has emerged as the Marigny’s destination hotel, bar and event space. Designed by Henry Howard in 1861, the deconsecrated brick church is at the heart of Hotel Peter & Paul, an ornately romantic venue where couples continue to honor its history by exchanging vows in the filtered light of its stained glass windows, against the time-worn patina of its plaster walls and beneath the gaze of its saints and angels.
