The Ace Hotel, which only a few years ago was among the trendiest spots in New Orleans, has officially been rebranded as a Hyatt property and the hotel, restaurant and coffee shop in the Central Business District now have new names.

The Carondelet Street hotel reopened Tuesday as The Barnett by Hyatt. Josephine Estelle, the popular Italian restaurant inside the hotel, and Lovage coffee house have also shuttered and have new names: Trattoria Barnett and the Cafe at the Barnett, respectively.

Closed for years, a $9.7M facelift is coming to the shuttered Algiers ferry terminal

The Algiers ferry terminal has been closed for more than five years, but it's now slated for a long-awaited face-lift.

The New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, along with local design firm Studio West, have revealed preliminary plans for a $9.7 million terminal renovation to improve transit access and transform the site into a hub for community events and commercial opportunities.

The Federal Transit Administration will supply about 80% of the funding with RTA covering the remainder.

The renovated ferry terminal is expected to reopen in late 2025.

I don't recall seeing these renderings for the N. Rampart project - not sure if these are legit, but from the same firm that is handling the Algiers Ferry renovation.

Woah. Not to be insensitive, but I wonder how this affects Plaza Tower redevelopment. I assume someone will execute his estate and could make the decision on selling it, but can we hope for a property auction that just gets it moving?

[NOLAslimm]

Ill keep my opinion to myself on the above subject

took a ride out yesterday for my Birthday. its one lane each side by the dome and no lights working, pretty big shit show there currently

just stop signs and red flashing lights that are pretty much not being followed lol



got to Harrahs/Caesars and some nice progress

Canal smoking section is officially open, no tables like previous, just slots and several werent on line yet











Poydras/Convention center is partially open as they are still working on a few things







from the old Masquarade area looking at the Poydras/CC entrance

now they will start the last inside area that was the seating area for the buffet and temporary high limit slot area



to the left side was the Diamond lounge and original High limit area, it opened Thursday as the new High Limit



I just slipped in the right side and grabbed a few pics, there is a Baccarat room in the back and host office somewhere around lol





unlike many casinos, there are windows in here

Happy belated Nolaslimm. Condolences to the Jaeger family; but wonder if the city can now seize control of the Plaza now.

Thanks, and they could have taken it any time, now we'll see if the city goes on with fining the estate, doubtful. im sure they will now make an excuse though that they have to wait on succession and cant do anything until then

Wild news about Jaeger. We'll see how it all plays out

[FenderOz]

It's wild how Jaeger's reputation in the city seemed to peak and trough so thoroughly starting around the time the Jung opened. The suddenness is sad and reminder how fragile this all is.
