| | | It's Giving: Home away from home
The Location: New Orleans, LA
Luxury Accommodations: You’ve never stayed at a hotel quite like this. Maison de la Luz feels more like stepping into someone’s home rather than checking into a hotel– if that home was a stunning and ornately designed mansion of your most well-traveled friend. Designed by Studio Shamshiri, the hotel’s layered vibe pulls from the city’s innate mysteries, mixing neo-classical architecture and Southern swoon. Each of the 67 richly designed rooms, from studios to deluxe suites, offers a spacious respite with high-end and bespoke touches.
Instaworthy Activities: Maison de la Luz serves nightly wine and charcuterie in the private guest-only Living Room. Don’t want the party to stop? Accessible through a secret bookcase entrance, Bar Milou offers inventive cocktails and elevated French bites where the former library of City Hall once stood. When you can pull yourself away from the luxurious rooms, it’s time to start exploring! At Maison de la Luz, you’re perfectly situated in the heart of the city, a short walk from the French Quarter and near the South Market District. |
