"For a more private refuge, Maison de la Luz is located across the street from the Ace, its sister property. Guests of this 67-room hotel, which opened in 2019 in an old City Hall annex, are encouraged to pop over to the Ace to enjoy the rooftop pool bar or grab a crawfish roll or a dozen Gulf Coast oysters at Seaworthy, which occupies a Creole cottage built in 1832. Back at Maison, however, the common areas are only for overnight guests, offering peace from the busy streets outside." - Lyndsey Matthews
