Arcadia Ballroom
6,566 sq. ft.The centerpiece of the hotel’s second-floor Event Center, the sophisticated Arcadia Ballroom sparkles with stylish Art Deco details. Coffered 18-foot ceilings highlight dramatic light fixtures and custom millwork, named for the first US-UK conference after Pearl Harbor, code-named ARCADIA, where Roosevelt and Churchill set the strategic direction for the Anglo-American war effort.
Casablanca
975 sq. ft.Featuring an outdoor terrace overlooking the intersection of Constance Street and Andrew Higgins Drive, this light-filled second-floor space is a breathtaking setting for rehearsal dinners, wedding celebrations, and bridal events. It is named for the Casablanca Conference held in French Morocco where Churchill and Roosevelt committed to the requirement for “Unconditional Surrender” of the Axis Powers, and planned for the cross-channel invasion of France.
Rosie’s on the Roof
1,950 sq. ft.With its breezy outdoor terrace and relaxed vibe, our stunning rooftop bar bucks bridal tradition, creating a memorable spot for casual celebrations in the Crescent City. Private buy outs are available with a minimum of $7500. Please fill out the RFP for this opportunity. Seating for small gatherings is on a “first come, first served” basis and reservations are not required.
Rosie’s is getting a facelift! Yes, we are growing the space at Rosies on the Roof. So many guests have enjoyed the rooftop so much that we are taking over more of the roof to add to the Rosies experience! During weekdays, from June 17-July 20, a construction crew will be at Rosie’s daily between 8am and 4pm. No disruption in any service at the hotel is expected, so all the things you like are still there, and Rosies will open every day at 4pm just like always. We share this good news however, since during the weekday hours noted, there may be some minor noise issues as the crew installs the rooftop anchors needed for the covering on the new space. This will not affect the current outside deck of Rosies, but when complete will add a whole new rooftop deck experience with wonderful direct views of New Orleans downtown city skyline!
Patriots Circle
1,800 sq. ft.Perfect for a cocktail reception for up to 75 guests, the ground-floor Patriots Circle is a striking Art Deco setting with floor-to-ceiling windows, a wrap-around terrace, and a grand piano that once belonged to General George S. Patton. It is surrounded by images of patriots and patriotism from World War II, as the Patriot Circle houses an heirloom from one of the most famous Americans of that era – a piano from Gen. George S. Patton’s family.

2,000 sq. ft.Lobby Level
