NEW ORLEANS, La. – Homewood Suites New Orleans has unveiled a multimillion-dollar, music-themed renovation of the 166-suite hotel on the corner of Baronne Street and Poydras Street in New Orleans.
The top-to-bottom renovation includes every aspect of the hotel’s suites and public spaces. Guest rooms have been upgraded with new furnishings, soft goods, and wall and floor coverings. The two-story lobby area and new front desk greet guests with images of New Orleans’s storied music heritage. A regulation-sized shuffleboard game is also available in the space. Overall, the hotel offers around 4,000 square feet of meeting space.
“Today’s travelers expect a locally flavored experience from the hotels they choose, and music is a large part of what brings more than 15 million people to New Orleans every year,” says Greg Friedman, president of Dimension Hospitality, which manages the hotel. “Our team felt it was essential to put that element of our heritage on center stage in this redesign. From the moment you walk through the doors, there is no mistaking that you have arrived in a place that has music at its core.”
“Our intention with this renovation is in our name,” says general manager Benjamin Roberts. “Our new décor reflects our home, New Orleans, and our desire to make guests feel at home when they are visiting. It is a comfortable, welcoming, and uniquely New Orleans take on our popular apartment-style accommodations.”
