About The Roosevelt The Roosevelt Hotel is a New Orleans landmark combining elegant guest rooms, historic dining, and abundant and luxurious meeting spaces. The moment you enter the block-long canopy of golden columns, there s little question that your stay will be anything short of grand. One of the South s first grand hotels, a $170 million historic restoration following Hurricane Katrina has returned The Roosevelt to its place as the premier luxury hotel in New Orleans. The conference and exhibition space is vast and stately, giving attendees ample space to enjoy networking opportunities in an atmosphere of refined grandeur. The Roosevelt has a storied history that includes such legendary figures as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Bob Hope, and Grace Kelley. All have wined, dined or been hosted at this iconic destination. The hotel has also greeted many U.S. Presidents, including Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford and Bill Clinton. Louisiana Governor Huey Long, who had his own suite at the hotel. was so enamored of the Roosevelt that he reportedly built Airline Highway from Baton Rouge to a location near the hotel to shorten his drive. The Roosevelt has also played a key role in the Mardi Gras festivities, hosting supper dances and grand marches for Carnival organizations such as Rex, Comus, the Knights of Babylon and others. Throughout history, the Roosevelt has seen it all.
