The New Orleans Christmas Display That’s Been Named Among The Most Beautiful In The World
New Orleans is a wonderful place to spend Christmas, we tend to go all out for the holidays. From the twinkling lights on Canal to the enchanted Christmas in the Oaks display, we sure do know how to get into the holiday spirit. If you’re looking for a beautiful New Orleans Christmas display that doesn’t involve long lines and makes for the perfect holiday greeting card, look no further than The Roosevelt Hotel. It’s been a New Orleans tradition for over 80 years, and if you’ve never been, you’re in for a treat!
The Roosevelt Hotel has been a Canal Street landmark since it opened in 1893.
It originally opened under the name "The Hotel Grunewald," and changed ownership (and names) several times over the next century before being purchased by the Waldorf Astoria Collection in 2007.
The entire hotel is truly stunning, but the star of the show is the hotel’s lobby.
Every year, the hotel pulls out all the stops to transform this block-long lobby into a Waldorf Wonderland that’s so spectacular, even the Grinch would smile.
The massive lobby is transformed into a winter wonderland with 112,000 lights, 1,600 feet of garland, 4,000 glass ornaments, 78 birch trees, 40+ Christmas trees, and 300 festive bows.
