The property offers one- and two-bedroom suites with kitchens and living rooms. The first floor of the 11-story building offers a marketplace and the Maritime Bar & Lounge. The top floor features a fitness center, rooftop deck and a pool. The asset is situated at 203 Carondelet St. in New Orleans’ French Quarter district. The resort houses 45 employees.
