The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

This is a classic, beautiful landmark hotel with all the amenities of a modern one. We opted for a 1 bedroom suite which had 2 baths, a truly separate and comfortable living area. Cushy bathrobes, nice bath products and great housekeeping added to our positive experience. Only downsides were pretty banged up furniture and extraordinarily loud HVAC system below our room. And backside of hotel had a terrible industrial view. Didn’t eat here but sanzerac bar was beautiful. Also all staff were great without exception. This place is not cheap but a lovely old dame in a great location in a great city!

This was my first time staying in The Roosevelt hotel. A very clean, comfortable hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and the concierge made great dinner recommendations as well. We loved voting for the staff's pumpkin decorating contest in the lobby. Only concern was that the floor ice maker was off all week. Anytime we needed ice we had to call down to the front desk and have some brought up. Would have been nice to have the fridge empty vs stocked with pricey items so I could use the fridge for drinks and leftovers. Was told there is a restocking fee if you remove things from the fridge.

Always a pleasure to return to the Roosevelt. It is our favorite Hotel in New Orleans. Stayed at many upscale properties in New Orleans over the years, this is our preference. Close, historic, romantic, great bedding and staff. It has great atmosphere especially at Christmas when we return annually as our Christmas tradition. A long date night or weekend is always a pleasure there.

Despite the classic charm of the hotel, my stay here was anything but pleasant. Leaking toilet, plugged sink, iron didn’t work, and the cherry-on-top was the construction crew directly outside my window cutting concrete from 4am-5:30am. Needless to say I will not be returning to the Roosevelt anytime soon, nor would I recommend staying here.

Beautiful hotel and super close to everything, but the rooms do not get cleaned properly. While they are spacious and nice, the rooms are full of visible dust (see photos). Came back from vacation with bad allergies from it and although I reported the dust during trip, nothing was done to rectify it. The staff are nice and hotel management does check in daily when you don’t let them clean your room, but the one day I left the room unlocked for a refresh it was still dusty, no toilet paper was left and they removed the rug from the bathroom sink but didn’t replace. May not sound like a big deal, but isn’t that the point of letting housekeeping in? I was also disappointed in the pool which was dirty so didn’t bother using. The restaurant attached to the hotel is delicious, cute bar and I like that if you use the opposite side entrance you’re literally steps from Walgreens (which I discovered days into my stay- wish someone would of said this as a nice gesture when checking in) and the back entrance leaves you closer to Bourbon (block away). Didn’t try the hotel breakfast because there’s so many delicious places all around- definitely try Ruby’s Slippers! Also easy to travel using the street cars. Overall loved it but the dust issues need to be addressed. 3.5 star hotel for me because of this and the pool but I’ll go ahead and round up since everything else was good.
