Hyatt’s Independent Collection brands offer one-of-a-kind
properties that are all singular in their brands and experiences –
from storied hotels and vibrant neighborhood locales to immersive
retreats. Each independently branded property enriches the modern
traveler’s experience in unique and exciting ways.
“Hyatt’s growth continues to be fueled by the leisure and
lifestyle segment, and this brand expansion in the New Orleans
market underscores Hyatt’s commitment to growing with intent in
destinations that matter most to Hyatt guests and World of Hyatt
members,” said Mike Waddell, senior vice president of global
franchise operations, Hyatt. “Maison Métier and The Barnett
highlight New Orleans’ vibrant culture, and we’re excited to expand
our brand presence in this world-renowned city with these two
remarkable hotels that are purposefully crafted to be a place of
discovery and joy through food and beverage, art, music and
beyond.”
Situated on Carondelet Street, just one block from New Orleans’
famed Lafayette Square, these two properties will soon bring unique
guest experiences, stylish accommodations and bold food and
beverage programming to Hyatt’s Independent Collection of brands,
which offers enriching and authentic stays for today’s
traveler.
Maison Métier (expected to join The Unbound Collection by
Hyatt brand as an independently branded hotel in 2024)
Located in a 1908 building, Maison Métier is a Parisian luxury
guesthouse that has been thoughtfully preserved in its
architectural integrity and embodies the story of a bygone era
married with contemporary finishes and furnishings. The hotel
offers 67 lavish guestrooms and suites with well-appointed
interiors and immersive design touches. The salon-style bar located
within the hotel, formerly known as Bar Marilou, maintains its
partnership with Paris-based Quixotic Projects and continue to hold
its place as the swanky bar New Orleanians know and love, offering
culinary delights and creative cocktails.
The Barnett (expected to join JdV by Hyatt brand as an
independently branded hotel in 2024)
The Barnett will pay homage to the building’s rich history which
includes its longstanding tenure as Barnett’s Furniture Store, a
local mom-and-pop fixture of the neighborhood of a past era. The
hotel brings Art Deco and French Modernism influences to the
vibrant Warehouse District in a way that celebrates the city’s
past, and offers guests an authentic New Orleans experience, with
musicality at its core featuring a live music venue. In addition to
thoughtful property-wide updates, the hotel’s culinary venues will
showcase new identities, including former mainstay Italian
restaurant Josephine Estelle; rooftop and pool bar Alto; and music
venue Three Keys. Seaworthy restaurant will remain under the same
brand and culinary leadership. Guests can expect updates for The
Barnett’s bars and restaurants to be unveiled this Fall.
“By collaborating with Hyatt, our guests can experience the most
unique and energized properties in New Orleans, while benefiting
from our affiliation with a world-class hospitality brand,” said
Matt Schwartz, CEO at The Domain Companies. “Domain remains
committed to New Orleans, our downtown and our investments
throughout the city,” added Schwartz. “The Barnett and Maison
Métier are among several new projects currently underway that we
are excited to advance.”
“It’s a true honor to steward these two iconic New Orleans
properties into their next chapter of guest service and
experiences, while adding the amazing benefits of the Hyatt brand
affiliation,” said Michael Coolidge, Michael Coolidge, Chief
Investment & Development Officer, HRI Hospitality. “Our team is
dedicated to enhancing each guests’ experience to create memorable
moments and further strengthening the local ties we have developed
over HRI’s history in the New Orleans community.”
Once the hotels join their respective brands, World of Hyatt
members will have the opportunity to experience NOLA in style and
earn points on stays to use toward free nights, dining, wellbeing
experiences and more.
