BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Rezul -- Sonnenblick-Eichner Company announced today that it has arranged $46 million of interim first mortgage financing for the Maison Dupuy, a five-story, 200-room, full-service, boutique hotel located in the world-famous French Quarter of downtown New Orleans, LA.  Proceeds from the five-year non-recourse LIBOR-based loan will be utilized to pay off the existing indebtedness and provide funds for the renovation of the property.

The hotel is excellently located just two blocks off of Bourbon Street at the corner of Toulouse Street and Burgundy Street. The French Quarter is the center of New Orleans' hospitality economy and among the world's most recognized and popular tourist destinations.  The hotel offers the highly-rated Bistreaux Restaurant and Bar, an oversized 4,088-square-foot interior courtyard, one of the largest in the French Quarter, an outdoor heated swimming pool and cabanas, fitness center, business center, and 4,173 square feet of meeting and banquet space.  The hotel also includes 65 subterranean parking spaces, a rarity in the French Quarter.
