"This historic, luxury Waldorf Astoria property (opened in 1893 as "The Grunewald" and renamed in 1923 for the 26th president) blends grand, old-world décor—crystal chandeliers, high ceilings and European flourishes—with modern comforts and attentive service. The hotel occupies a full city block in downtown New Orleans, a short walk from the French Quarter and Bourbon Street, and offers 504 rooms (including 125 suites), a variety of room types from deluxe to luxury, well-appointed bathrooms, Nespresso machines and minibars, flat-screen TVs and high-speed internet. Dining and drinking options are plentiful: the historic Sazerac Bar (relocated to the property in 1949) is renowned for the classic Sazerac cocktail and hosts the annual Stormin' of the Sazerac celebration; the Fountain Lounge serves classic New Orleans breakfast fare (think crawfish and Tasso ham omelets, pecan waffles); Domenica is a rustic favorite for housemade pasta and wood-fired pizzas (reservations recommended); and Teddy’s Cafe is a quiet spot for coffee, beignets and light bites. On-site amenities include a world-class spa with 10 treatment rooms offering massages, cupping, reflexology, facials and nail/hair services plus steam and sauna access, a rooftop pool with city views, five dining venues, and 60,000 square feet of meeting space. The property also emphasizes accessibility (multiple accessible room types with roll-in showers or hearing accommodations), follows Hilton’s sustainability practices, and participates in Hilton Honors and American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts programs for member perks." - Marcea Cazel
"The annual Christmas Day brunch returns with a wide buffet-style selection including herb-roasted turkey breast, spice-rubbed prime rib, and Chardonnay-poached shrimp and scallops; pricing is $139 for adults, $49 for kids, and complimentary for children under two. Reservations recommended for this kid-friendly brunch." - Clair Lorell
"The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, is the epitome of a classic city hotel, with well over a century of history in the imposing building. The hotel’s provenance is celebrated throughout, from the Sazerac Bar, renovated to its original glory, to the must-see lobby, outfitted with gilded pillars, gleaming marble floors, and huge crystal chandeliers framing the bustling throng of guests and lobby staff." - Paul Oswell

"The Roosevelt’s pool is a serene rooftop oasis and for $65 on weekdays and $130 on weekends, you can take a dip. Bring the kiddos for another $35 each. There’s a hot tub, poolside food and drink menu, and specialties including the signature Frozevelt, little gem Caesar and grilled Gulf fish sandwich." - Beth D’Addono
"The Roosevelt’s Fountain Lounge expands its fried chicken Mondays to offer fried chicken to-go for $20 per box on February 1st, 3rd, 10th, 11th, and 13th. Reserve your pickup time now! While you’re there, pop into the Sazerac Bar for a toast with one of the new cocktails for MG, including Champagne Lady, a sparkling wine-focused cocktail with St. Germaine and elderflower liqueur, adorned with edible glitter." - Beth D’Addono
