The Maidstone New Orleans has officially opened under ISMD’s ownership, following its revamp last year of the property, formerly known as The Maidstone East Hampton.
Marking the start of the brand’s expansion, this is the first of many hotels set to join its growing collection. Dating back to 1956, when it was known as the Crescent Motel, a classic American motor lodge, this property has been transformed into a vibrant retreat, situated in the heart of NOLA’s lively Mid-City neighborhood.
Debuting with a full design refresh led by Studio Tre, The Maidstone New Orleans beckons locals and visitors alike to experience the hotel’s history through its design with notable American mid-century references throughout.
The intimate hotel has 18 rooms and suites comprising eight king rooms, eight queen rooms and two king suites, all extensively renovated with cork flooring, custom birch millwork and furniture. Custom moon tapestries fabricated by Oaxacan textile artist Ismael Gutierrez Montano adorn each accommodation and is paired with beds in birch ply, custom built-in wardrobes, rattan mirrors and more. Beds are outfitted in Frette Linens and robes are available in-suite or on demand.
The Maidstone Lounge, located in the lobby, offers built-in banquettes with loose cushions, where guests can enjoy crafted cocktails on mahogany coffee tables and marble stone tops. Upon entering the lobby, a green maestro quartzite check-in desk surrounded by walls in floor to ceiling glazed porcelain sets the scene.
Beyond its interiors, the property’s gardens and grounds have been completely overhauled. There is a saltwater pool complete with a bathing deck and tiled wall fountain, while the Moon Garden flanking the indoor Maidstone Lounge, is home to a circular and sunken fire pit, lit by firelight at night. Craft cocktails will be offered in addition to pool bites in partnership with local food companies and neighborhood favorites.
