Designed by architects Eskew+Dumez+Ripple with interior design by New York-based Roman & Williams, the Ace Hotel New Orleans comprises nine floors of a 1928 Art Deco building in the downtown Warehouse District (formerly known as the American Sector in the early 1800s and Faubourg Ste.
The 234 rooms of the Ace Hotel New Orleans are stacked in the former headquarters of a Scandinavian furniture importer.
Among their decorative inspirations, the designers cite the Art Deco, Cubist, and Dadaist movements, plus the Bloomsbury Group of artists.
Every Ace Hotel sports a custom signature blanket; this one is a lightweight cotton matelassé coverlet in a pattern inspired by 1920s French art.
The furniture and lighting are custom designs by Roman & Williams in honor of the French Art Deco style of the Ace’s newest home.
All rooms have a sitting area with sofa lounger and padded leather chair, for reading and taking in city views.
In addition to the bedding coverlet, several Ace Hotel New Orleans items are available for retail sale.
The Smeg refrigerator in a custom green color is stocked with fresh cocktail essentials.
The Ace New Orleans minibar collection includes cocktail shakers, cutting boards for fresh fruits and garnishes, and an Ace mixing guide.
The washroom is hidden by a purple velvet curtain and features custom fixtures and lighting by Roman & Williams.
