Hospitality management firm Waterford Hotel Group has expanded its portfolio with the addition of two properties situated in the US.
The hotels are Sheraton Flowood The Refuge Hotel & Conference Center in Flowood, Mississippi, and Maison Dupuy Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Sheraton Flowood is the first property managed by Waterford in Mississippi. Maison Dupuy is the sixth boutique hotel in New Orleans to join the company’s portfolio this year.
Waterford Hotel Group president Michael Heaton said: “Expanding into Mississippi with a premier full-service Sheraton builds on our long history with the Marriott brand and marks the second Sheraton in our current portfolio.
“At the same time, strengthening our footprint in New Orleans with another one-of-a-kind boutique hotel underscores our commitment to managing unique, high-value properties that deliver memorable guest experiences.”
Sheraton Flowood The Refuge Hotel & Conference Center is located near Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport.
The hotel offers 200 guest rooms and suites, along with 27,000ft² of meeting and event space.
Guests have access to the Refuge Golf Course, as well as a pool, spa, fitness centre, and several dining venues.
This property further extends Waterford’s operations within the Marriott brand family.
Maison Dupuy Hotel is positioned in the French Quarter of New Orleans.
The property features 200 rooms, a restaurant specialising in local cuisine, and spaces for private events.
Maison Dupuy becomes Waterford’s latest boutique addition in New Orleans for 2025, highlighting the company’s ongoing investment in the city’s hospitality sector.
Waterford Hotel Group chief growth officer Duane Schroder said: “Each new partnership reflects our commitment to creating win-win opportunities—delivering value for owners while enhancing the guest experience.
“With Sheraton Flowood furthering our Marriott partnership and Maison Dupuy adding boutique depth in New Orleans, we are building on our momentum and reaffirming our focus on thoughtful, strategic growth.”
In July 2025, Waterford Hotel Group took over the management of five boutique hotels under the J Collection in Louisiana, US.
