About ASH
ASH Hotels designs, develops, owns and operates a very special collection of properties. In our world, a hotel is much more than a destination to meet, dine, or sleep. Rather, it is a dynamic site of imagery and emotions, interactions and sensations manifesting within the walls of a beautifully restored local legend - a living movie set. An ASH hotel is a connection to the past and a beacon for the future, layered in nuanced storytelling that invites exploration time and again.
ASH Hotels, in partnership with local developer Nathalie Jordi, acquired a historic development site nestled in New Orleans’ Marigny neighborhood. Hotel Peter and Paul consists of an existing church, rectory, convent, and school buildings steeped in more than a century of local, preservationist heritage. Our hotel offers classic, elegant experiences that defy formulaic guest expectations by entwining enduring church and schoolhouse architecture with eclectic interiors and reimagined environments. Characterized by an unexpected contemporary Louisianan spirit, Peter and Paul enchants all guests with an authentic union of yesteryear’s Marigny with today’s New Orleans.
