Many works have been specially commissioned for a particular space, in an effort to fully integrate the architecture and design of the hotel. Each work of art was carefully considered to create an aesthetically pleasing and meaningful statement. The works of art at The Royal Sonesta New Orleans are in our public spaces like the lobby and PJ's Coffee Cafe. The works reflect the artist's vision while illuminating some of the most significant movements in contemporary art, including Conceptual, Minimal and Pop Art. This group of works consists of more than 7,000 contemporary paintings, sculptures, original prints, and tapestries by both emerging and established artists such as Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Sol Lewitt, Jan Dibbets, Malcolm Morley, and Carl Palazzolo. Initiated in the early 1960s, Sonesta's Art Collection is one of the first corporate hotel programs dedicated to original art by nationally and internationally known artists. Two years later, Royal Sonesta New Orleans opened its doors. In 1967, the Vieux Carre Commission approved plans to begin construction of what would become a landmark French Quarter hotel. Nearly 70 years later, the owners of the Sonesta brand at that time, the Sonnabends, were introduced to developer Lester Kabacoff and soon the site of the old brewery would be repurposed. In 1890, the American Brewing Company purchased the winery and expanded the building to encompass an entire city block. During the 19th Century, Bourbon Street became a thriving commercial district with everything from a costume shop to a winery. Originally, houses, courtyards, and carriageways occupied the 300 block of Bourbon Street. The site of The Royal Sonesta New Orleans dates back to 1721 when French military engineer Adrien de Pauger first laid out the city of New Orleans.
