Loft 523, just two blocks from the French Quarter, is the quintessential loft hotel. It's New Orleans newest boutique hotel, a sexy and sophisticated sanctuary. Set amid high-rises in the city's Central Business District, Loft 523 feels more like an artist's lair in SoHo, standing out amidst other boutique hotels in the area. The lofts were designed with an edge, modern electronics, architectural artifacts and a local take on concealing and revealing the individual character of the building. Hand-hammered copper doors mark entries that have all been lowered from the original, industrial height to a more human scale, creating a dramatic transition into the massive space of each room, with 12-foot ceilings boosting the sense of volume and floor-to-ceiling windows bathe each room in natural light.
