About 2 1/2 weeks ago I stayed at The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans for The Niche Mommy Conference. I knew that with that powerful combination, the conference could only be class act event. Fortunately due to sponsors of the vent like Huggies & Time to Play, I had won a scholarship that would allow me to stay at the conference hotel while attending the 4 day/3 night event.
Once arriving at The Roosevelt, you can instantly feel the beauty & splendor of the historic hotel. People like Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, Jack Benny, Bob Hope once used the same revolving door I had the opportunity to experience. In 2005, the Roosevelt underwent a 145 million dollar restoration project which brought back all the historic elements that has made The Roosevelt iconic to the New Orleans area since the late 1800’s.
Whether I spoke to someone at the front desk, a bell hop, or someone in catering, the staff was always impressive with their information they provided me and desire to help me at any cost. In fact, I had won an infant car seat (thanks to Britax) and brought the car seat on my last day to the bell hop area. Not only did they store the car seat for me while I resumed my Sunday Brunch, but a gentleman even carried the car seat outside the hotel, down a block and into the parking garage where my car was located. He did that all with a smile and ready to converse me me about how my stay had been.
From mosaic tiles in the lobby floors, the chandeliers, to the handmade plasterwork in the elevator all the details play a pivotal role in splendor of The Roosevelt. Although the hotel has underwent a few name changes over the years, it is now aptly named because something that grand, would happen “Only At The Roosevelt”.
A few pictures from my stay:
Did I tell you the food catered by The Roosevelt for The Niche Conference was truly amazing?!?! I wish I could have taken a picture of breakfast, lunch, & dinner I had there-Truly Top Notch! Wheater someone was gluten free or kosher, they also catered to specific diets at any of our combined dining events.
Wow — what a treat! I would love to stay there!
WOW!! That hotel looks amazing!! I love old architecture and the beauty of the detail that people used to put into works of art like that.
Gorgeous – wish I was there!
I wish I was there! Maybe next year!
