Downtown New Orleans

DESCRIPTION

Loft 523 (www.loft523.com) is the quintessential loft hotel. It’s a sexy, sophisticated sanctuary. It’s New Orleans’ newest boutique hotel, and it just raised the design bar substantially. Its understated design stimulates the spirit and heightens the senses.

Like International House (www.ihhotel.com) before it, Loft 523 begins with a strong idea. This time it’s about soaring spaces. Pure lofts—designed with an edge, modern electronics, architectural artifacts, and a local take on concealing and revealing the individual character of the building. These 18 lofts, including three penthouses, stand in tribute to loft style, and offer each guest a stunning urban canvas sure to set the design muse free.

This New Orleans boutique hotel in the CBD features Frenchmen Street hipster favorites Los Vecinos and the Rob Wagner Trio on Tuesdays and Fridays, respectively.
