Year 2021
The Marriott Convention Center underwent a significant transformation through an interior renovation led by Trapolin Peer Architects. The project, centered in the heart of New Orleans' historic Warehouse District, targeted the 331-room hotel originally designed in 2011. The overhaul encompassed guest rooms, ballrooms, pre-function spaces, meeting rooms, lobby, and dining areas. The primary objective was to not only refresh these spaces but also to strengthen the connection between the Convention Center pedestrian park project and the hotel's bar and restaurant. This involved strategic modifications to the lobby, removing barriers, and enhancing the overall flow within the hotel.
Outcome
The Marriott Convention Center's renovation elevates the guest experience by seamlessly integrating modern design with the hotel’s historic context. The strategic redesign delivers a vibrant, inviting atmosphere that enhances functionality and accessibility, enriching the visitor experience. By establishing a fluid connection between the Convention Center pedestrian park and the hotel’s social spaces, the design opens the property up to the surrounding community, encouraging engagement with the local area. This thoughtful renovation not only revitalizes the hotel as a destination for travelers but also reinforces its role within the Warehouse District, supporting New Orleans' cultural landscape through design that respects the past while embracing contemporary hospitality standards.
