From Ace Hotel Group, in-house design team Atelier Ace has completed work on the new luxury guest house concept Maison de la Luz in New Orleans. Housed within the former City Hall Annex, the private sanctuary spans six stories and includes 67 accommodations that overlook the vibrant Arts Warehouse district of the Big Easy as part of the Ace New Orleans.
Los Angeles-based design practice Studio Shamshiri partnered on the interior design of the urban retreat, which welcomes visitors with the Bar Marilou—a chic, mirror-clad cocktail venue located where the City Hall library once resided.
Bar Marilou evokes the same refined qualities conveyed through the many layered details of Maison de la Luz. Elements such as historic grand staircases, marble vanities, hand-embroidered linens, and custom tilework juxtapose the light and airy interiors. Details like sculptural, snake-shaped shower handles and bespoke wallpaper and artwork further capture the property’s unique sense of elegance and tranquility.
