Hotel Overview

The moment you enter the block-long canopy of golden columns and crystal chandeliers, there’s little question that your stay will be anything short of grand. Originally one of the South’s first grand hotels, a $145 million restoration has returned The Roosevelt to its place as the premier luxury hotel in New Orleans. Now a part of the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Collection™, this landmark combines elegant guest rooms, historic dining and entertainment venues, luxurious meeting spaces and new indulgences like Guerlain Spa for a truly legendary experience in the heart of the city.

How many hotels leave such an impression that 80 miles of highway are built just so the governor can get a drink? The legend of Huey P. Long and Airline Highway is one of so many that defined The Roosevelt’s brilliant 40-year run during the early 1900s. Though the hotel originally opened as The Grunewald in 1893 and was later renamed The Fairmont, it was during The Roosevelt years that it established itself as a beacon of luxury in the South. The hotel was a revolving door of the time’s most famous names—Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Jack Benny, Bob Hope — each adding to a legend that continues to be written today.

The Roosevelt is located conveniently in the Central Business District just off Canal Street and one block from the world-famous French Quarter.
