\"\"<\/a>The Paris-born Le M\u00e9ridien hotel brand has made its debut in New Orleans, one of the hottest U.S. hospitality markets. The 410-key former W New Orleans is in the midst of a comprehensive $29 million renovation and conversion project, set to wrap up with a grand opening of Le M\u00e9ridien New Orleans\u00a0in March 2015.<\/p>\n

The downtown New Orleans high-rise hotel is undergoing a two-phase renovation process, the first of which has been completed. Phase one included the complete overhaul of all 410 guestrooms and the lobbies. The hotel now features design elements showcasing an aerial view of New Orleans\u2019 unique geography and cartography, as well as patterns inspired by the city\u2019s iconic architecture and culture.<\/p>\n

The renovation\u2019s second phase includes the addition of 1,600 square feet of meeting space, for a grand total of 20,000 square feet available onsite. Other completed additions include the signature Le M\u00e9ridien Hub, a coffeehouse\/wine bar lounge; the Longitude 90 bar; LMNO, the hotel\u2019s destination restaurant run by Chef Mauricio Gutierrez; and March\u00e9, the new breakfast restaurant. The renovation\u2019s final phase will also add a redesigned desk and port-cochere valet entrance, as well as a landscaped palm garden with outdoor seating for events. Existing meeting space will also be upgraded prior to the grand opening.<\/p>\n

Other amenities include an outdoor rooftop pool, a fitness center, a business center, pet grooming, iPod accessories rental and an SMS Text concierge. Located just outside the world-famous French Quarter and the city\u2019s up-and-coming Warehouse\/Arts District, Le M\u00e9ridien New Orleans \u00a0offers swift access to the city\u2019s countless jazz clubs, the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Harrah\u2019s Casino, the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk, the French Market, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the Contemporary Arts Center.<\/p>\n

The rebranding of the former W New Orleans was announced in mid-2103, following the property\u2019s acquisition by Chesapeake Lodging Trust. As previously reported<\/a><\/em>, the Maryland-based REIT picked up the 410-key hotel for $65 million from Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., which was retained as property manager under a long-term contract. Renovation kicked off in spring 2014.<\/p>\n
