With a storied past as a printing house and bitters factory, The Eliza Jane is a reimagined historic hotel that doubles as an architectural and economic heirloom for the city of New Orleans. With over 20 years of hospitality leadership experience, Klein will oversee the property's 196 guestrooms including 50 suites, two food & beverage outlets, fitness center, lush garden courtyard, and more than 1,700-square-feet of multi-purpose event space.

Most recently, Klein served as the Director of Operations at an additional HRI Lodging property, Holston House Nashville.
