Comments: This is the old Roosevelt Hotel, acquired and updated by Fairmont. We stayed during Mardi-Gras, and the hotel is near the French Quarter (approximately 1-2 blocks). The hotel took great care with security measures during this typically-crazy time, and we felt that the hotel was a sanctuary for retreat when the party became too much. Everyone on the staff was very friendly and helpful, even during this stressful period. Some local crowd at the bar, but well-behaved. The hotel is a beautiful old property, possibly one of the best we’ve ever encountered, rivaling and possibly exceeding grand old hotels in New York and Philadelphia. This property is conducive to restful stay, with a touch of class. We have stayed at other properties in New Orleans, and this is the best so far. Most sight-seeing is within walking distance (French Quarter starts across Canal Street, 1 block, and Garden District is approximately 10 blocks, but a nice walk). Trolley line (oldest in country) runs past property. Hotel has High-speed internet access, for a fee. Hallways are beautiful, and wide. Elevators to all floors, wheelchair accessible ramps at entrances. Property includes health center and outdoor pool, but the city is the main attraction.
