Miguel Solorzano
General Manager, Sazerac House
Designed to be the first true “homeplace” for the Sazerac Company, makers of the world-famous Sazerac cocktail (created in Louisiana), Sazerac House plans to welcome over 150,000 visitors to its new, six-floor building on the corner of Canal and Magazine streets in New Orleans during just its first year.
A mix of an interactive museum, rye distillery, event space and company offices, Sazerac House is set to open to the public at the end of October under the leadership of General Manager Miguel Solorzano.
A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Solorzano is a veteran of hotel operations with more than 20 years of experience in guest relations and training and development with companies like Westin Hotel Fort Lauderdale and Sonesta Hotels. As general manager, Solorzano’s job will be to lead his team in creating memorable guest experiences.
“With the Sazerac House, we will bring a new take on New Orleans history to the heart of the Central Business District,” he says. “Our guests will experience the legends and legacy of New Orleans through our signature cocktails, taking an immersive and delicious journey designed to entertain all their senses.”
