Omni Royal Orleans Hotel Guestroom Renovations and Balcony Additions
This $5 million renovation includes many upgrades to a historic French Quarter hotel’s interior as well as the installation of new balconies overlooking St. Louis and Royal streets. A total of 345 luxury guest rooms, including 60 suites, were renovated with the finest materials and finishes. The suites have new showers, and the rest of the guest rooms received new paint, furniture, equipment and wall fixtures. With renovations taking place on the 2nd through 7th floors, an exterior hoist was installed to move men and materials to the upper levels and minimize the impact of ongoing construction work to guests and routine hotel operations.

Impact on Hotel Operations During Renovation
Throughout the renovation process, minimizing disruption to hotel operations was a top priority. The McDonnel Group employed strategic planning to ensure that construction activities did not interfere with guests' experiences or hotel services.
By scheduling work during off-peak hours and utilizing sound-dampening techniques, the team successfully maintained a high level of service. This careful approach not only preserved guest satisfaction but also demonstrated the McDonnel Group's commitment to excellence in project management.
Future Plans for the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel
Looking ahead, the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel plans to continue enhancing its offerings to attract a broader range of guests. The successful completion of the renovation sets the stage for potential future upgrades and expansions.
Management is exploring opportunities to introduce new amenities, such as a rooftop bar and expanded dining options, which would further elevate the guest experience and solidify the hotel's position as a premier destination in New Orleans.
