New Orleanians still sometimes think of this as the Roosevelt, and today's Fairmont Hotel upholds its predecessor's tradition of elegance. The marbled and columned lobby runs a full block and is famous for its over-the-top decorations at Christmas time. President Bill Clinton stayed here for many of...

First as the Grunewald, then as The Roosevelt and now The Fairmont New Orleans, the legendary hotel has created an enduring tradition of hospitality in New Orleans. The tradition began in 1893, when the Grunewald Hotel, a 200 room, six story hotel named for owner Louis Grunewald, opened on Baronne S...

Arthur Hailey´s Book Comes To Life.....The Fairmont New Orleans - user review
I have always liked this grand old hotel. It captures a bit of the great history of hotel keeping in America within its old walls. Recent renovations have brought it up to date, so we may expect to see its traditions...

My favourite U.S. hotel - user review
In my four stays in this hotel (a total of 19 days), I have never been disappointed. It was the quality of this hotel that prompted me to join the Fairmont President's Club and try other Fairmonts. It turns out that, while t...

Check in took about 30 minutes, which was terrible. I had been assigned a room with 1 double bed. When I called to re confirm the reservation I was shocked by the 1 double bed, so I asked about having a room with 2 double beds. I was informed this was impossible unless I wanted to pay a $20 per nigh...

Great location at the edge of the French Quarter. Perfect starting spot for each days activities. We did have to switch rooms because the bed it the first room was to soft (old). They were very nice and switch us to a room that seem to have been redone. Room was a little larger and more comfortable....

Hotel is located in ideal area of city for tourists. The 4 star rating is inaccurate. We found the bed linens to be old and worn. The bathroom was very crowded only big enough for one person at a time and the carpets throughout the hotel appeared dirty. I've stayed at 4 star hotels before and this i...

It's a lovely, dignified, and well maintained older hotel. The room we stayed in was extremely large and comfortable, much larger than rooms in more modern hotels.

The Fairmont has a great location, It's just two blocks from Bourbon Street and all the action. It's an older hotel with a historic feel. Beautiful hotel interiors and friendly staff.

This hotel is not a four star and to call it a four star only sets the guest up for disappointment. The rooms were small and noisy. The bed linens were old and polyester.

This hotel is very old and NOT kept up. They sell it as a resort but I strongly disagree. When we first checked in @ 10PM our room was NOT ready, they said that the hotel staff did not show up.

This was a standard 'nickle and dime' hotel, meaning that amenities were not included in the room rate, but rather the hotel nickled and dimed you for everything. With a hotel of this caliber I would not expect to have to pay for things like local phone calls or internet access. I would have almost ...

While the Fairmont New Orleans is not listed as being in the French Quarter, you are literally a 5 minute walk to all of the excitement of Bourbon Street and Harrah's Casino. The hotel has a very glamourous 1920's feel to it. It has a great location...very close to the St. Charles and the Canal St. ...
