Luxury Meets Landscape: Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans

March 17, 2025

Project Spotlight

At RCI we specialize in elevating hotel exteriors through expert landscape installation and management, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. A prime example of our capabilities is the Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans, where our team helped bring to life a landscape design that complements the hotel’s world-class luxury and New Orleans’ rich cultural charm.


Project Overview


Located in the heart of the city, the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences New Orleans underwent a complete transformation of the historic World Trade Center building. As part of this extensive renovation, Dana Brown & Associates (DBA) served as the lead landscape architect, crafting a vision that honored the city’s historic aesthetic while incorporating contemporary elements fitting of the Four Seasons brand.

RCI was entrusted with the execution and installation of DBA’s design, ensuring a flawless realization of their vision. Our team worked closely with the architects to refine key construction details and deliver a finished product that elevated the guest experience while aligning seamlessly with the property’s luxury identity.


Key Landscaping Features

RCI’s contribution focused on meticulous installation, coordination, and finishing, including:

  • Landscape Management – Installation of vibrant, native and adapted plantings selected to thrive in the local environment while minimizing long-term maintenance needs.
  • Hardscape & Aquatic Integration – Careful execution of hardscape elements, including walkways, entrance areas, courtyards, a signage wall with stone cladding, wood tile pedestal pavers for the pool deck, and a signature fountain at the main entry — all blending harmoniously with the architectural style.


Throughout the project, RCI ensured that all installed elements aligned with the city’s historic character and the design intent of Dana Brown & Associates, while also meeting the durability, sustainability, and aesthetic standards expected of a luxury hospitality brand.
