Race and Religious

General information

Born of a love for the city, a lifetime of travels, a taste for art and antiques, and the history of antebellum Louisiana, Race & Religious is an event venue. Located on the corner of Race and Religious Streets, the property is nestled along the riverfront of the Garden District, walking distance from the Convention Center.

The property is comprised of two masonry homes built in the 1830's: a 2-story Creole cottage and a 3-story Greek-revival row house. A hallmark of the property, the “Slave Quarter” is a free-standing two-story lounge with a downstairs bar. The grounds feature a privacy fence, fountain-surrounded pool, ample flora, and brick courtyards, lit by the flicker of gas lamps. The space also includes two commercially-equipped kitchens, working fireplaces, interior and exterior speakers, balconies overlooking the courtyard and downtown New Orleans, and the option of two bedroom lofts, comfortably sleeping six.

Used for films and music video sets, weddings, private parties, and photo shoots, Race & Religious blends the nostalgia of home with the splendor of history, offering a truly sumptuous stay. The surrounding art and furniture is sometimes museum-grade, sometimes funky, creating a unique sense of comfort.

Offering luxurious amenities, the nostalgia of home, and a rich New Orleans history, here, you live like you should. Visit Race & Religious, history’s masterpiece, for an authentic taste of New Orleans.
