Loft 523 - A boutique New Orleans hotel with minimalist designer lofts and Manhattan-style living
Located just two streets from the French Quarter in the Central Business District, this 4-star New Orleans hotel features 18 minimalist designer lofts with premium bedding and laptop-friendly workspaces. Loft 523's bright suites include Italian-designed tubs, cable TV, and limestone bathrooms, while select units offer dedicated seating areas. The property's industrial-style interior showcases exposed brickwork, concrete floors, and Fortuny lamps, complemented by original local artwork and opal-glass ceiling fans. The Gravier Street Social, an in-house private lounge, operates on weekends as an event space connecting local art and music scenes. Business facilities include an 8000-square-foot conference space and 24-hour business center. Guests have 24-hour access to the International House's fitness center and business facilities. The St. Charles streetcar stop is a two-minute walk away, while key attractions like The National WWII Museum, French Market, and Jackson Square are all within 1 mile.
Pros
Hidden entrance through an unmarked copper door creates an exclusive atmosphere
Weekend lounge serves as a creative hub for local art and music
Custom throw rugs and local paintings add authentic character to concrete interiors
Multiple dining options within 0.3 miles, including The Ruby Slipper Cafe and Mother's Restaurant
Cons
Located 9.5 miles from New Orleans Lakefront Airport
Parking limited during Mardi Gras week despite nearby garages
“This trendy boutique presents a Manhattan-style aesthetic unexpectedly tucked away just steps from the French Quarter. I think its sleek, modern interiors and focus on local art offer a refreshing alternative to more traditional New Orleans accommodations. The in-house lounge and workspaces also struck me as particularly appealing for business and leisure travelers alike.”
