Hyatt has nabbed two celebrated New Orleans properties for its growing portfolio in the United States.

Maison Métier and The Barnett, two famed New Orleans properties adjacent to one another and offering convenient access to the renowned French Quarter, have officially joined the World of Hyatt loyalty program and respective brands.

Maison Métier refreshed

Maison Métier, after a rebrand and refresh, is entering The Unbound Collection as part of Hyatt’s luxury group.

The 67-key hotel, currently owned by Domain Companies, is housed in a historic 1908 building. It will include a selection of elevated amenities and refreshed culinary concepts. The salon-style bar will also continue its long-running partnership with Paris-based Quixotic Projects.

Barnett undergoes renovations

The Barnett, owned through a joint venture of Domain Companies and HRI Hospitality, is located in a former neighbourhood institution – Barnett’s Furniture Store.

The property has undergone extensive renovations and reimagining and has joined JdV by Hyatt. Both properties, managed by New Orleans-based HRI Hospitality, will maintain an independent spirit while now being connected to Hyatt’s world-class service and World of Hyatt benefits as part of the program.

Situated among some of the city’s most popular attractions, the 234-room property will undergo a series of thoughtful updates before joining Hyatt’s portfolio. 

The hotel’s culinary venues remain open and will soon receive new brand identities, including the former mainstay Italian restaurant, rooftop and pool bar, and music venue. Seaworthy restaurant remains under the same brand and culinary leadership.

Centrally located in the Warehouse Arts District of downtown New Orleans, The Barnett and Maison Métier are within walking distance of attractions such as The WWII Museum, Caesar’s Superdome and Bourbon Street. 

With their adjacency, the two properties also offer guests seamless access to exclusive shared amenities.

Access to culture

We’re thrilled to grow our brand presence in New Orleans, a city known for its rich culture and vibrant history,” said Katie Johnson, global brand leader, Hyatt Luxury & Collection Brands. 

“These two unique downtown properties embody the true spirit of New Orleans, offering guests memorable experiences steeped in local culture.”

Hyatt currently operates more than 1400 hotels and all-inclusive properties in 79 countries across six continents.
