SHELTON, CT —Officials of
New Castle Hotels & Resorts, a leading hotel owner, operator and developer,
announced the closure of Baronne Inn and Suites in downtown New Orleans ahead
of a $10 million, eight-month total transformation to convert the historic
building to a Fairfield Inn and Suites.
The hotel expects to reopen in spring, 2016.
Located at 346 Baronne
St., in the central business district and just one block off Bourbon St., the
Fairfield Inn and Suites New Orleans Downtown/French Quarter Area will mark the
brand’s debut in the Big Easy.
The all-suite hotel will feature 103 guest
suites, a full bar outfitted to emphasize the hotel’s one-of-a-kind
destination, and will offer complimentary breakfast and WiFi; everything a
guest needs for a comfortable and productive stay at a great value.
"Reinvention has been
New Orleans’ calling card since Hurricane Katrina, and the results, including
renovated and upgraded hotels, 600 more restaurants and entertainment venues,
clearly appeal to the record 9.5 million guests who visited last year,” said Gerry Chase, president and COO of New
Castle Hotels & Resorts.
“We feel very confident that an urban
Fairfield Inn and Suites product will be very attractive to both business
travelers attending conferences and conventions at the Morial Center and
value-minded leisure travelers who want their vacation dollar to go a little
further.”
The Fairfield Inn and
Suites New Orleans is within walking distance of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome,
the Morial Convention Center and Harrah's New Orleans Casino, as well as the
city's famed French Quarter. The Port of
Orleans, one of the busiest cruise terminals in the U.S. and Louis Armstrong
International Airport both are minutes away.
