New Orleans

[Colton]

Does anyone have updated tips for a trip to New Orleans?  What's open, what's not, places to go for food, drinks, and jazz.

Bump…. Any updates, including escorts.  Thanks!

New (and updated) hotels are booming in the Crescent City.

The new Four Seasons is a beaut.  And prices are decent for the first six months of their opening.

I had reservations to stay there but promptly cancelled. 

Because 

- Pool not yet open / ready. To accommodate they are sending people to a hotel next door to use the pool. Like homeless people.  Sorry.

- Only 1 restaurant is open

- Spa not open.

I'm a Four Seasons fan, but I'm not paying FS prices if FS service is not provided and not all amenities are included.

Have some compassion for people who are less fortunate.

it was in no way intended to be disrespectful. At 400-700 dollars  a night ( I believe my rate was closer to 500 ) asking me to use the pool next door because the pool in your hotel is not ready is unacceptable.  Having the spa closed is unacceptable also. With just one restaurant open and that bar downstairs it’s basically a Kimpton hotel ( but at Four Seasons prices ) . No. 

I have plans to come back for next years Southern Decadence . Presumably the pool will be ready by then 

More importantly Nola is recovering from the hurricane but the quarter is back in business so i hear

That's a bummer to hear they opened before being fully up to snuff.  That's not a usual Four Seasons move.

For now, I'd say stick to places like Maison de la Luz, The Eliza Jane and even though it needs a refurb, Windsor Court.  

I will say that I want to get back to NO just to use this incredible workout facility again:

I wonder if Mardi Gras 2022 will be back to normal.

Great recommendations. Does the gym have kettlebells and plyo boxes?

Sadly, none of the current providers there tickle my fancy.

Yes.  It's a HUGE facility.  Really unique.  There's also a bar there for a little post-weights cocktail.

And the guys locker rooms have completely open marble showers.  I've written about it on 15MM.

I love staying at the Peter & Paul, a former catholic church compound. Great place to host a hooker.
