Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated has opened its New Orleans Resort, the company’s first urban property in its growing network of U.S. travel destinations.
The property opened in mid-January at 203 Carondelet St. in a building that was constructed in 1893 as New Orleans’ first skyscraper. It was acquired by Holiday Inn Club Vacations in 2019 as a luxury apartment building and converted into a 105-villa resort.
The project created 45 jobs, most of them full-time, a news release said.
The resort offers full-size villas with one- and two-bedroom layouts that include kitchens and living rooms. The first floor of the resort contains a Marketplace and the Maritime Bar & Lounge, a full-service bar that is expected to open later this year. On the building’s top floor there is a fitness center, outdoor dipping pool and rooftop terrace.
