ike New Orleans, Bluegreen Club La Pension™ is a tapestry. What began

as the fix-up of a new resort property spiraled into a sprawling objet d'art and tribute
to the bold, dynamic energy of this centuries-old city where multicultural traditions
blend seamlessly with eclectic artistic vision.
This boutique French Quarter property is also a testament to the skill of local artists
and artisans, who were commissioned to fill the space with unique works representing
the city as it stands today-a stunning mix of history, art, music and beauty. From the
moment of arrival, guests are greeted by a magnificent design scheme. The transition
from French Provincial to modern New Orleans is obvious.
