What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Once a classic Marigny guesthouse, The Maidstone has been reimagined by Studio Tre as a relaxed, design-forward stay with a distinctly American mid-century thread.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Mid-City surrounds the hotel on Tulane Avenue, with the Canal Streetcar a quick walk away.
The rooms
Woven Oaxacan moon tapestries hang above custom birch platform beds set over natural cork floors.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor saltwater pool is anchored by a tiled wall fountain, flanked by twin outdoor showers and striped loungers.
Bar
Maidstone Lounge
Slatted wooden screens flank the counter, where retro barstools sit alongside banquettes with marble and mahogany tables.
At the table
A shuttered service window opens to the pool deck, serving drinks and light bites from neighborhood kitchens.
How it began
The property opened in 1956 as the Crescent Motel during America's post-war road-trip boom.
