Who we are

Artful stays built for the whole group.

Marais builds private homes that bring the spirit of New Orleans inside. Each house is designed around a story about this city and made by people who live here, with space enough that nobody in your group gets stuck sleeping on a couch.

Made here

Every house is a collaboration.

We commission New Orleans artists and makers for each home. Hand-painted murals. White oak built to fit the room it stands in. Pieces curated with the New Orleans African American Museum.

No two houses feel alike, and none of them feel like a rental.
