Palmetto Hotel

The Palmetto Hotel is a boutique hotel in New Orleans’ Warehouse District that reimagines urban hospitality through townhouse-style living, Caribbean Creole influences, and a relaxed, residential sensibility. The project introduces an 11-key collection of spacious townhouse-style accommodations organized within a three-story main building at the corner of Annunciation and Poeyfarre Streets, supported by a two-story structure positioned mid-site. Dedicated on-site parking at the rear of the property enhances guest convenience while preserving the pedestrian-oriented character of the surrounding neighborhood.

Designed for travelers seeking a more private, home-like environment, each unit provides the scale, comfort, and autonomy of a contemporary townhouse. The overall interior design is guided by Caribbean Creole influences, expressed through natural materials, handcrafted details, and subtle tropical elements.

In the public spaces, curated furnishings and lighting establish a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. Niches, natural wood beams, quartz surfaces, and warm brass accents introduce an understated sense of luxury, while earthy neutrals and sun-washed tones evoke the softness and warmth of tropical landscapes. Together, these elements create common areas that feel textural, welcoming, and richly layered.

Within the guest rooms, the design emphasizes calm, comfort, and the feeling of a refined contemporary residence. Soft green walls, warm wood tones, and natural textures create a soothing backdrop complemented by simple sculptural lighting and clean modern lines. Layered bedding, woven accents, and tailored furnishings contribute to a collected, tactile quality, while the palette remains grounded and serene. In the bathrooms, fluted wood detailing, warm brass fixtures, and softly toned tile introduce a sense of crafted luxury. The combination of natural materials, gentle color transitions, and understated detailing gives each private suite the character of a thoughtfully assembled home—offering guests a warm, restorative retreat.

Outdoors, the central courtyard becomes a quiet tropical retreat. A sculpted pool is surrounded by palm trees, lush plantings, and ample lounge seating, with striped umbrellas and natural textures reinforcing the relaxed, breezy character of the hotel. The space offers a calming extension of the interior palette and a serene place for guests to unwind.

Defined by privacy, texture, and a relaxed tropical spirit, the Palmetto brings a refined boutique hotel experience to the Warehouse District.
