The Eliza Jane, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, is a196-roomboutique hotel on Magazine Street just outside of the city’s French Quarter. Built within seven historic warehouses that stand distinct on the outside, the interior shave been conjoined to create a quintessential New Orleans hotel. Inspired by the beauty of each historic building, the design team intended to reference each of its original occupants: The Daily Picayune newspaper, as well as Gulf Baking Soda company, Peters Cartridge shop, and Peychaud Bitters factory. Features of the hotel’s program include the main public space, a 60’ high atrium, with a full bar and lounge, and the hotel’s restaurant, Couvant.
The project’s standout is the interior courtyard that joins the restaurant and hotel. Inspired by the influence of Spanish architecture in New Orleans, the courtyard is surrounded by original brick walls and abundant, overgrown foliage. Housed within a former bitters factory, the restaurant combines classic New Orleans style and French flair in an industrial space.
