An era of grandeur and elegance has returned to New Orleans with the historic restoration and reopening of The Roosevelt New Orleans.
Now a part of the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Collection, this landmark hotel combines luxurious guest rooms, historic dining and entertainment venues, flexible meeting spaces and new indulgences — all for a truly legendary experience, right in the heart of the city that gave jazz to the world and spirit to America.
The hotel opened in 1893 as The Grunewald and was renamed in 1925 to honor one of its most prestigious guests: President Teddy Roosevelt. It served as the Fairmont from 1965 to just recently. After a $170-million historic restoration, The Roosevelt New Orleans reclaims its position as the premier luxury hotel in New Orleans and one of the most storied hotels in the country.
The Roosevelt New Orleans boasts 504 guest accommodations, of which 135 are suites, and 60,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including the spacious 20,000-sq.-ft. Roosevelt Ballroom, 12,000-sq.-ft. Crescent City Ballroom and the 7,000-sq.-ft. Waldorf Astoria Ballroom, along with a total of 23 distinctive meeting and event rooms.
To make guest experiences as grand as the hotel, The Roosevelt offers a number of venues, some historic and others a reflection of today’s luxury traveler. Once the site of big-band sounds and entertainment by the 20th century’s leading stars, the Blue Room is home to regular entertainment by some of New Orleans’ best-known musicians, Sunday brunch, wedding and other receptions and holiday festivities. The Sazerac Bar, which made wonders such as the Sazerac and the Ramos Gin Fizz famous worldwide, is the ultimate cocktail destination, and the adjoining Sazerac Restaurant brings a unique flavor to The Roosevelt’s legacy of fine dining.
Open is Domenica, the Italian-concept restaurant by John Besh, one of America’s top chefs; Teddy’s Café, for exclusive coffees and sweets; and the world-famous Guerlain Spa, which features 10 private treatment rooms, a fitness center, a couple’s therapy suite and more. Amid the urban paradise of its pool and garden terrace lies the hotel’s Pool Café, an open-air bar featuring a menu of light, delectable bites and cool, refreshing drinks.
Since The Roosevelt New Orleans’ doors first opened, the hotel has been the scene of not only celebrity but also the setting of events that reflect New Orleans’ uniqueness and America’s pride. The milestones that defined the 20th century also were the milestones of this iconic property. Fame comes in a variety of forms, and The Roosevelt New Orleans has seen virtually every kind during its more than 100-year history. In the process, the hotel has achieved its own celebrity. From every spectrum of society, The Roosevelt has attracted the names that fill volumes of “Who’s Who in America,” “Who’s Who in American History,” “The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,” the “Social Register” and more.
Few cities compare to New Orleans, and no hotel exudes luxury and history the way The Roosevelt New Orleans does.
