Seems like it.
It's possible that a lot of the
FF&E we saw in older photos was just cheap temporary stuff from hotel discount warehouse type places. That way the Jung could finish inspections and do a soft opening while the real FF&E was still on order. (The lead times for some of that stuff is killer)
Or maybe somebody like Joe Jaeger walked through and didn't like it, so he ordered it all changed out...
Either way, I agree that the new stuff is much better. It's still tasteless
but at least it's on the same level as modern premier (non-boutique) hotels in Vegas, Miami, NY, Chicago, etc. Basically what you'd see in a W, Radisson Blu, SLS, etc. The old stuff was just embarrassing for a premier New Orleans hotel.
