THE ROOSEVELT HOTEL CHRISTMAS LOBBY DISPLAY | NEW ORLEANS

The lobby display features 44 Birch trees, more than 22,000 twinkling lights, and scores of festively dressed Christmas trees. No reservations necessary.

The Roosevelt hotel is a 504-room hotel that is managed by Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. The hotel was originally built by Louis Grunewald, a German immigrant, and opened in 1893 as "The Hotel Grunewald."

In 2007, Sam Friedman, a son of the late Louisiana State Senator Sylvan Friedman of Natchitoches Parish,Louisiana, announced the purchase of the Fairmont Hotel by First Class Hotels for $17 million from the owners, Roosevelt Ventures, LLC. Also announced was the plan to spend $100 million to convert the hotel to one of Hilton's premium hotels in their Waldorf Astoria Collection chain.

The hotel was renovated to look like the 30s and 40s
Period when it was thriving just after the Huey Long era.

The Roosevelt rolled out the red carpet for a historic grand-opening gala weekend October 23, 2009 featuring world-famous New Orleans entertainers and the introduction of Chef John Besh’s restaurant Domenica and the acclaimed Guerlain Spa, benefiting area non-profits.

The current hotel holds 504 guest rooms of which 125 are suites. The total meeting space is over 68,000 square feet with multiple rooms across three floors of the hotel.

It’s pretty neat that the number of rooms is the same as the area code. 504.

My YouTube friend Jason ( of the 504 road trips channel) did a comprehensive review of the hotel during his recent August 2017 stay.
