Loft 523 is a sexy, sophisticated sanctuary. It's New Orleans' newest boutique Hotel. What makes our Lofts great! Pure open space, design with edge, modern electronics, architectural artifacts and a local take on concealing and revealing the design elements. Our Lofts average 600 square feet, with spacious spa-like bathrooms topping 100 feet, with Agape's awe-inspiring ''Spoon'' tubs. Signature high ceilings boost the sense of volume and elevate the human spirit. One is reminded of David Hockney thoughts regarding a Loft, ''Our perception of space has incredible effects on us. Ultimately, it is about our identity: who we are and why we are. Not a mere matter'' Loft 523 is a High Tech Playground. Sony's cd/dvd surround sound systems are standard. Flat screen televisions are standard. Anywhere in the hotel, one can access the Internet at more than 3 megabits on Loft 523's blazing wireless network. Loft 523 is a non-smoking hotel. All rooms and public areas are smoke-free. Loft 523 will do everything possible to honor special requests.
