CDI Solutions was entrusted with a sophisticated renovation of the Place d’Armes Hotel, a historic gem nestled in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter. Situated on St. Ann Street, the hotel is set within restored 18th and 19th-century buildings that frame lush courtyards, a sparkling swimming pool, and charming fountains. Just steps from Bourbon Street and Jackson Square, this property seamlessly blends New Orleans' vibrant culture with timeless architecture.

The renovation’s primary goal was to respect and celebrate the historical essence of the Place d’Armes Hotel while addressing the contemporary needs of modern travelers. CDI Solutions crafted a renovation strategy that ensured the hotel could withstand the heavy foot traffic drawn by New Orleans' bustling tourism scene. The result is a property that pairs refined elegance with enhanced durability, meeting both the functional and aesthetic expectations of its guests.

A standout aspect of the renovation was the thoughtful integration of modern elements into the hotel’s historic framework. Flat-screen televisions were framed in ornate gold designs to maintain the traditional aesthetic, blending seamlessly with the décor. Intricately detailed wall trim was painted in contrasting colors to create depth, adding a sophisticated touch to guest rooms. Every design decision ensured a harmonious balance between classic and contemporary.

CDI Solutions designed custom carpets with a unique aesthetic exclusive to the Place d’Armes Hotel, featuring a tile border to enhance durability and mimic the appearance of a luxurious rug. Guest room furniture, including nightstands, desks, and seating, was crafted to combine traditional design with modern functionality. For example, integrated power and USB ports provide convenience, while backlit headboards and LED mirrors in the bathrooms add a touch of modern luxury.

Beyond the guest rooms, communal areas were elevated to reflect the hotel’s historic charm. The lobby’s high ceilings were adorned with custom-designed chandeliers that echo the elegance of the French Quarter. Comfortable seating areas invite guests to relax, while the courtyard spaces were refreshed with period-appropriate furniture, enhanced landscaping, and discreet lighting for a welcoming evening ambiance.

Each design element was selected to preserve the Place d’Armes Hotel’s historical integrity while providing modern comforts. From custom furniture and lighting to updated landscaping, every detail was meticulously planned. CDI Solutions ensured that contemporary enhancements, such as integrated technology and durable materials, complemented the building’s storied past, creating a seamless blend of old and new.

The completed renovation of the Place d’Armes Hotel is a testament to CDI Solutions’ expertise in harmonizing historical preservation with contemporary luxury. By managing every phase of the project, from the initial site survey to the final installation, CDI Solutions has revitalized this historic property. The Place d’Armes Hotel now offers guests a timeless yet modern retreat, embodying the rich history and vibrant spirit of the French Quarter.
