About this property

Ironworks Retreat, Heart of Arts District

Discover the seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury at the Ironworks Building in New Orleans’ hip Warehouse District —steps from the Convention Center. Our elevated, industrial-style apartment hotel features bold interiors and modern amenities, plus the vibrant energy of the city at your fingertips.

The Ironworks Building is a reimagined and newly renovated warehouse which combines modern comfort with classic New Orleans charm. This building dates back to 1922 when it was home to Economy Iron Works, the folks responsible for the city’s iconic ironwork balconies and fences. Stallone’s The Expendables was also shot in the building, which still houses film-inspired murals bearing the autographs of Sylvester Stallone and Mickey Rourke—we challenge you to find them all!

As our guest, you’ll enjoy up to three times the space of traditional short-term rentals, a full kitchen, washer/dryer, free high-speed wifi, access to state-of-the-art fitness, comfortable beds, and spacious living areas for relaxing, entertaining, and remote working.

... And we serve coffee at our onsite coffee shop: Ironworks Coffee & Crepes! (4.9 stars on Google!)
