Where you’ll stay

Maison de la Luz, New Orleans

The playful attitude of New Orleans is perfectly reflected in the punchy style Maison de la Luz employs. Its exterior is inspired by Beaux Arts architecture, while the inside feels as if it’s been lifted from a Wes Anderson film with its monochrome tiled floors, art deco flourishes, plush furnishings and novelties scattered throughout the hotel that could only have been collected by the most avid of travellers. The scarlet-hued Bar Marilou is an elegant setting for expertly mixed cocktails, while one of its bookcases is actually a hidden entrance to a secret speakeasy that feels thrillingly exclusive. Away from the hotel, Lafayette Square and several art galleries are only steps away, while New Orleans’ French Quarter is a five-block walk.
