NEW ORLEANS — Provenance Hotels, GB Lodging and Woodbine Development Corp. have partnered to co-develop and open the Old No. 77 Hotel & Chandlery, a boutique hotel located in New Orleans’ historic Warehouse Arts District. Originally built in 1854, the historic property is located at the intersection of Tchoupitoulas and Lafayette streets, roughly four blocks from the French Quarter. The hotel features hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, an art collection courtesy of the New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts and a new restaurant. Nina Compton is the head chef and owner of the restaurant, known as Compere Lapin. In August 2013, Provenance Hotels and GB Lodging purchased the historic hotel property, then known as the Ambassador Hotel. The companies partnered with Woodbine Development to renovate the hotel and expand the guest room count to 167. According to the hotel’s website, rooms rent for as low as $109 per night.
