The unusual feature of these two rooftop rooms is a wall of glass doors onto a terrace, outside seating and interesting evening views of the cityscape and skyline. True to contemporary New Orleans style, there is a handmade element woven into the interiors. Gali Art's wrought-iron bedside tables and Erica Larken's totem-inspired cafe tables are topped with honed Calcutta gold marble. Modern electronics like Sharp Aquos flat-screens and iPod players are juxtaposed with a seating area that includes, timeless black and white photographs, and an "LM Chair", the designer's original antiqued velvet chair-and-a half. The substantial California King bed, with its 7' tufted headboard and layers upon layers of white linens is animated by Modern Fan Company's slow-moving "Flute" fan. Generous bathrooms feature the three-part composition of white pedestal, beveled mirror and uncommonly elegant vanity light that is dressed in strands of cascading Swarovski crystals. The closet is also customized, a feature which like the terrace makes these rooms among the more popular for extended stays.
These eight corner rooms, offer perhaps the most compelling experience in the base building. With 12' ceilings and two window-walls of natural light clad in theatrical sheers and velvetine drapes, each room feels particularly spacious and freeing to the human spirit. Like New Orleans, there is an ecclesiastical and handmade element woven into the design. Gali Art's wrought-iron bedside tables with cruciform feet, Erica Larken's totem-inspired cafe tables and the Pagan Cross corner console ebonized and silver-leafed, are each topped with honed Calcutta gold marble. Sharp Aquos flat-screens and iPod players are within easy reach. A generous seating area includes a 5' x 8' mirror, crystal chandelier and an "LM Chair", the designer's original chair-and-a half upholstered in antiqued velvet.

Generous bathrooms feature dark granite vanities with oval Kallista basins and an unusually elegant vanity light dressed in strands of cascading Swarovski crystals. The closet is also customized. Like the suites and penthouses, these rooms radiate this city's signature sense of place and the optimism of this new time.
The Garden Kings are among the most quiet rooms in the hotel and are located nearest the fitness room. Situated on the third floor, each faces an interior garden comprised entirely of local sculpture and indigenous landscape.

Each offers a Carrera marble desk top, Sony LCD screen, the designer's namesake "LM chair-and-a-half", 5' x 8' mirror and Aveda bath amenities.
