In the French Quarter, where history lives in every cobblestone and wrought-iron balcony, a new standard of luxury has emerged. 917 Conti is an exclusive collection of 16 residences born from the meticulous transformation of the former Musée Conti Wax Museum—a mid-19th century landmark reimagined for those who refuse to choose between historic authenticity and uncompromising modern comfort.
The restoration of 917 Conti represents something rarely achieved in one of America's oldest neighborhoods: a complete reinvention from the inside out. While the exterior pays homage to the architectural legacy of the Vieux Carré, every system within has been replaced with new construction-grade infrastructure. The building's masonry and steel construction meets the latest hurricane and wind codes, while steel stud and concrete floor and ceiling construction delivers exceptional soundproofing. High-efficiency individual HVAC systems and tankless water heaters ensure modern performance and energy savings. Metal window and door framing with hurricane-rated glass and three-point locking systems provide both security and peace of mind. Controlled building access with surveillance cameras at every entry point, on each residential floor, and on the rooftop allows residents to live in luxury with complete confidence. Each residence is backed by a new home warranty—a distinction almost unheard of in a neighborhood where buildings routinely exceed a century and a half in age.
The one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences range from 754 to over 2,100 square feet of living space, each thoughtfully designed with flexible floorplans that maximize natural light. Private terraces, intimate courtyards, and grandiose warehouse windows offer views of the French Quarter skyline and the building's tropical central courtyard. Interior finishes reflect a commitment to refined living: Italian porcelain floors, quartz and granite countertops, sleek European-style cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Original warehouse metal windows and architectural character details honor the building's industrial heritage while pairing seamlessly with modern sophistication. Spa-like bathrooms feature glass showers, soaking tubs, and programmable comfort settings, while large walk-in closets and two-panel interior doors with brushed bronze hardware attend to every detail. Low voltage wiring ensures high-speed internet connectivity throughout.
The penthouses are true masterpieces. Window walls flood the living spaces with light and frame sweeping views of the Quarter. Premium appliance packages from Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Asko anchor chef-caliber kitchens with gas cooktops, while tray ceilings and LED recessed lighting create an atmosphere of understated elegance. Massive private outdoor terraces—including one penthouse with a private pool, hot tub, and 2,000 square feet of deck space—extend the living space, ideal for entertaining or simply taking in the city below.
The rooftop amenity deck elevates daily life into ritual. A swimming pool and dual hot tubs offer relaxation with breathtaking views of the French Quarter and CBD skylines. An expansive sundeck with luxurious lounge chairs, a dining area perfect for entertaining, and two grilling stations create the ideal setting for gathering against the backdrop of a New Orleans sunset. At ground level, residents are greeted by a dramatic atrium featuring a 50-foot cascading waterfall sculpture that flows into a tropical courtyard, where dual fire pits nestle among lush greenery—a perfect oasis for relaxation and rejuvenation. A second-floor fitness center offers state-of-the-art cardio equipment, universal weight machines, and free weights. Smart entry via the Latch App provides keyless access and enhanced security, elevator service runs to every floor, and convenient trash chutes on each level attend to the practicalities of daily life.
Perhaps no amenity speaks more directly to the realities of French Quarter living than 917 Conti's secure, covered, indoor parking garage. Nearly unheard of in the Quarter, parking spots are available for purchase and located inside the building with interior access to elevators and stairs. The building's location north of Bourbon Street means owners never have to cross the Quarter's busiest corridor upon arrival or departure. EV charging-ready infrastructure anticipates the evolving needs of today's homeowners.
Tennessee Williams once observed that America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans—everywhere else is Cleveland. At 917 Conti, residents live at the center of what makes New Orleans singular. Just steps away lies Royal Street, world-famous for its one-of-a-kind boutiques, antique shops, and art galleries showcasing the work of local artists and craftsmen. Award-winning restaurants—Brennan's, Galatoire's, Emeril's, Bayona, GW Fins, Arnaud's, Restaurant R'evolution—are within an easy walk, as are legendary bars and lounges like Patrick's Bar Vin, The Davenport Lounge, The Bombay Club, and Jewel of the South.
World-class entertainment venues surround the residence: Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, Saenger Theater, Orpheum Theater, Preservation Hall, The Fillmore, and the live music clubs of Frenchmen Street—all within walking distance. And when festival season arrives, residents find themselves at the heart of the celebration. Mardi Gras, Jazz & Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival, Dirty Linen Night, Satchmo Summer Fest, Creole Tomato Fest—the calendar never stops. At 917 Conti, you don't just visit New Orleans for its festivals. You live them.
Residences are sold as fee-simple condominiums, with the HOA permitting 30-day minimum rentals. This allows owners to offset carrying costs through seasonal leasing while preserving the residential character of the community.
With six residences sold and select homes still available—including an exclusive penthouse opportunity for Texans—917 Conti offers a rare chance to own within this intimate collection. Residences range from $599,900 to over $2 million, representing a luxury French Quarter hideaway steps away from the middle of the action.
