Loft 523

The Story 

Loft 523 is a joyful tribute. To creativity. To the power of spacious lofts to delight the human spirit. To New Orleans. And, it does so with a soulful downtown aesthetic that has attracted generations of artists and rebels to this legendary port and sensual city.

The 18 loft-style hotel rooms and penthouses average more than 600 square feet. Each is a sexy, sophisticated, space bathed in natural light and designed with an eclectic mix of architectural artifacts, modern electronics, timeless furniture, local art and expansive limestone bathrooms. Much like the storied lofts which dotted the banks of London's River Thames and those which populated SoHo and the Lower East, these lofts are an urban hideaway for exploring New Orleans.

We agree, and space is the essential luxury in our laboratory. Bathed in natural light. With 12 foot volumes. Floor to ceiling windows. Just the right few fixtures, like Modern Fan Company’s 52 inch Whirlybird fans, Agape’s awe- inspiring “Spoon” tub or Mariano Fortuny’s acclaimed 1907 Fortuny lamp. Built-in closets. Custom-milled "divine feminine” carpet. Modern electronics. Indigenous woods that form media shelves and bathroom vanities. And a great bed with even better pillows.
