CDI Solutions had the distinct honor of leading the comprehensive renovation of the Prince Conti Hotel, a historic boutique hotel nestled in the vibrant heart of New Orleans, Louisiana. Constructed in the 19th century, this stunning brick building features a classic carriageway and embodies the rich history and architectural charm of its era. Located a short stroll from Bourbon Street and St. Louis Cathedral, the Prince Conti Hotel offers guests a prime location amidst the city's energetic atmosphere. However, the renovation aimed to create more than a central hub—it sought to establish a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking relaxation amidst the lively buzz of New Orleans.

Our involvement in the project extended through every phase of the renovation. CDI Solutions began with detailed site surveys, thoroughly assessing guest rooms and common areas to identify opportunities for enhancement. These surveys informed the schematic design and development phases, where plans reflecting the owners' vision took shape. Once finalized, our team transitioned into the creation of construction documents and custom furniture designs, ensuring that every detail was accounted for. This rigorous preparation paved the way for a smooth transformation, allowing the hotel’s character to shine through every element of its redesign.

In addition to design planning, CDI Solutions oversaw construction administration, managing the procurement and delivery of custom furnishings. Each piece was selected to align with the hotel’s overarching design vision, ensuring both aesthetic cohesion and the highest quality. By maintaining strict timelines and a commitment to craftsmanship, our team facilitated a seamless renovation process, delivering a refreshed hotel that exudes elegance and comfort.

The renovation reimagined guest rooms to balance traditional aesthetics with modern amenities. With a variety of room types, including expansive suites, compact spaces, and windowless interiors, CDI Solutions ensured a cohesive elegance across all accommodations. Bold red and purple accents were introduced throughout, adding sophistication and visual interest to the interiors. Custom millwork, applied wall trim in contrasting hues, and intricate design details further elevated the spaces, marrying historical charm with a contemporary edge.

Custom furnishings and materials played a central role in achieving the hotel’s timeless yet modern ambiance. CDI Solutions collaborated with a carpet vendor to develop bespoke wall-to-wall carpeting featuring custom colorways and patterns that complemented the hotel’s historic character. This attention to detail extended to all elements of the design, ensuring a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity in every corner of the property.

Beyond guest rooms, CDI Solutions revitalized the hotel’s corridors and wayfinding elements to create a cohesive and welcoming environment. Custom signage, aligned with the hotel’s branding and code requirements, reinforced its identity with a distinctive color scheme and logo. Corridors were refreshed with new wallcoverings, paint, and custom carpets, enhancing the hotel’s overall ambiance and making navigation a seamless experience for guests.

The Prince Conti Hotel renovation by CDI Solutions stands as a testament to our dedication to blending historical elegance with contemporary design. Each element of the redesign was thoughtfully crafted to provide a luxurious and memorable guest experience while preserving and enhancing the hotel’s rich heritage. This project reflects our commitment to honoring the past while meeting the needs of today’s travelers, ensuring the Prince Conti Hotel remains a cherished haven in the heart of New Orleans.
