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

thanks for sharing, all those lights, they looks great.
Yep. They are gorgeous. Plenty visitors flock to this hotel every year to walk and photograph.
Wow....The Roosevelt hotel has an amazing Christmas display!
The Christmas lighting tradition is older than us. Dates back to the 40s I think.
40's .. wow...nice to have history like that.
I looked it up. Generations of families come here during the holiday season. We have thousands of people coming in especially on the weekends on a daily basis, just to either view it or to take pictures. The lobby has beautiful mosaic floors. Hotel takes up a city block. Entrances on two different parallel streets.
Wow this one put the one in nyc to shame! How beautiful
Heather J thanks for stopping in.
You're disgrace lmao. THIS city is nothing comparing to NYC. NYC is a dreamland.
@@bakugokatsuki908 thanks for stopping in
@@bakugokatsuki908 lol Relax, just saying the decorations at this roosevelt hotel are nicer than the decorations at the hotel in NYC. No need to be rude.
Hey Johnny V, great shots in video
Thanks for watching.
The lunch is 27 while dinner is 52 at fogo. Didnt think too many people knew about the lunch
I went at 5:00 (dinner opening) on a tuesday in the summer & they were booked. Ha. Couldnt get in without a reservation. I wont go back. Not worth the headaches
"They can make them like this but it's only a reproduction." Those words are very true.
Beautiful cozy place. Friend of mine told me the owner used to announce the classic movies when opening a show & then thank everyone for coming on way out. He passed a few months ago at about 88 years
When do the decorations typically get put up?
Now. I think around 10 of november
Does downtown New Orleans have that display on Fulton Street still? I want years ago and they had lights, fake snow, shops and real reindeers
Fake snow 11am-10pm daily. Dec 1-23rd.
Why the streets are empty?
Like midnight on a weeknight
