New Orleans Marriott Warehouse Arts District has announced a multi-phased renovation that includes updated public spaces, meeting spaces and guestrooms.
The renovated guestrooms have a work area, seating areas, platform beds and contemporary furniture. Bathtubs have been replaced with walk-in showers in most guestrooms. Spa-like lighting, marble vanities and rain showerheads add to the new bath experience. The hotel has also converted its former concierge lounge on the third floor into an additional Presidential Suite with a lounge area including a sectional sofa and a dining table that can accommodate up to eight persons. The suite connects to a king guestroom and has a private courtyard, well-suited for small gatherings.
The hotel’s lobby has been transformed into the Marriott Hotels’ Greatroom, which serves as a social gathering hub. Clusters of lounge furniture and a central bar provide guests with ample space to relax, collaborate with colleagues or grab a nightcap. The bar offers a range of premium spirits and fine wines.
The hotel is also home to a new M Club. A brand signature, the area is exclusive to Elite and Club members with perks, including a range of complimentary food and beverage options featuring breakfast, evening drinks and light bites, as well as premium beverages throughout the day. Accessible 24/7, the M Club will offer free Wi-Fi, printing and power supplies to ensure uninterrupted productivity for business travelers.
The hotel offers 21 renovated meeting and event spaces, totaling over 24,000 square feet of flexible space. Pre-function spaces include communal tables for attendees to plug in or network between meetings. Two refreshed ballrooms, housed within a 200-year-old historic warehouse, are adjoined to the modern hotel. With exposed brick walls and crystal chandeliers, the ballrooms present an industrial, yet elegant ambiance for social events.
The hotel is located across from the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. Popular attractions nearby include the French Quarter, WWII Museum, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Harrah’s Casino and Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. Live music venues and bars nearby include The Howlin’ Wolf, Generations Hall, art galleries on Julia Street, Fulton Alley and The Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, besides a range of restaurants. The hotel is located near the historic streetcar lines and guests will have easy access to the Garden District, Uptown, Mid-City and Marigny.
Deal: The hotel is offering a new package for guests. "A Howlin’ Good Time in Our Redesign" offers overnight accommodation in a redesigned guestroom; 20 percent discount on food and beverage purchased at the hotel’s new restaurant and bar throughout their stay; and admission for two to The Howlin’ Wolf. Guests can book online or call 800-228-9290 and request promotional code, XYO.
Good to know: The hotel will also donate a portion of proceeds from all reservations made from April 1 through May 8, 2022 for stays through September 30 to the New Orleans Musician’s Clinic, a local nonprofit organization that provides medical care and social services to local musicians, performing artists, cultural workers, and tradition bearers and their families.
