“Loft 523 strikes me as a savvy choice in the Central Business District, a semi-secret address channeling Manhattan chic. Its in-house lounge, Gravier Street Social, gives a platform to local art and music, while still keeping the atmosphere adult-oriented yet family-friendly. I think its sleek interiors and prime location, just a stroll from the French Quarter, set it apart.”
