Fodor's Expert Review The Roosevelt Hotel New Orleans

123 Baronne St., New Orleans, Louisiana, 70112, USA Fodor's Choice

From its glittering lobby to each beautiful, traditionally furnished guest room, this iconic New Orleans hotel offers a grand experience. A downtown anchor for more than a century, the hotel was nearly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, but its glam is back. The legendary Sazerac Bar is a top spot for cocktails, and the Blue Room serves a sumptuous Sunday jazz brunch. There's a 12,000-square-foot Waldorf Astoria Spa, and a fitness center as well.

CONS

  • pricey fees for parking and in-room Wi-Fi
