About this role
company
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.
