Sheila Johnson opened NOPSI Hotel in New Orleans on July 6, 2017.

The luxury property is housed in the famous New Orleans Public Service Incorporated building, a former utility and transit facility built in 1927 that went unused since the early 1980s. Sheila’s vision was to return the building to glory and reflect a Jazz era theme, while catering to young visitors looking for a luxe experience.
