Southern Hospitality: The Drifter Opens its Doors in New Orleans, Louisiana

In New Orleans, a 1956 motel – a brick pile complete with period signage and typical low-rise architecture – underwent a refurbishment that retains the nostalgic feel of the structure while at the same time infusing it with modern tastes.
