France—with its patchwork landscape of quaint rural villages, glamorous seaside towns, and historical cities—is an easily accessible, year-round destination, drawing visitors from around the world to its smorgasbord of culture, history, and charm. So it's hardly surprising then that a 2023 report from GlobalData, announced it was on track to become the most visited country by 2025, when 93.7 million international travelers are set to visit the country annually.
2 buzzworthy hotels in New Orleans are joining World of Hyatt
28.06.2024 - 13:55 / thepointsguy.com
Two of the trendiest hotels in New Orleans are now affiliated with Hyatt, but World of Hyatt members will have to wait just a bit longer to fully enjoy loyalty perks.
Maison Metier (formerly Maison de la Luz) and The Barnett (formerly Ace Hotel New Orleans) are now Hyatt-affiliated hotels and are slated to join The Unbound Collection by Hyatt and JdV by Hyatt, respectively, later this year. The hotels are also expected to fully integrate and participate in the World of Hyatt program in the next few months.
It's a big win for Hyatt, as the two downtown hotels are popular lifestyle properties with convenient access to both the French Quarter and the Caesars Superdome.
"Hyatt's growth continues to be fueled by the leisure and lifestyle segment, and this brand expansion in the New Orleans market underscores Hyatt's commitment to growing with intent in destinations that matter most to Hyatt guests and World of Hyatt members," Mike Waddell, senior vice president of global franchise operations at Hyatt, said in a prepared statement. "Maison Métier and The Barnett highlight New Orleans' vibrant culture, and we're excited to expand our brand presence in this world-renowned city with these two remarkable hotels that are purposefully crafted to be a place of discovery and joy through food and beverage, art, music and beyond."
Maison Metier opened in 2019 and quickly won acclaim for its luxurious Parisian design across 67 guest rooms and suites. The hotel's salon bar is a mainstay for travelers and locals alike, and it will continue its partnership with Paris-based Quixotic Projects even though it is no longer known by its original moniker, Bar Marilou.
The Barnett maintains the former Ace Hotel's mix of art deco and French modernism design influences in the longtime Barnett's Furniture Store space. Live music will play an important role in the hotel, as will updates to the property's Italian restaurant, rooftop pool bar and music venue. The hotel's Seaworthy restaurant will remain as-is throughout the Hyatt integration.
Once the hotels are fully integrated into World of Hyatt later this year, guests will be able to earn and redeem points at both hotels. In the meantime, you can still book directly via the Hyatt website while the hotels move toward their respective places within Hyatt's Independent Collection brands.
