The rooms

Ranging from 294 to 592-square feet, the Chambers, including Grand Chamber Suites, a Penthouse Suite and Richard's Flat Penthouse, will be fresh and bright with local art, historical detailing and Art Deco-inspired elements woven throughout, evoking a sense of old-world meets modern luxury. Just like Virgin Hotels’ existing properties in Chicago, Dallas, Nashville and Las Vegas, the Chambers will feature Virgin Hotels' signature layout with two distinct spaces.

Slide open the door and you’ll enter The Lounge, which features the brand's patented ergonomically designed lounge bed, complete with a bullion fringe trim, a red Smeg mini-fridge stocked with street-priced comforts, a High-Definition TV, yoga mat, and a cafe worktable with rattan base and tempered glass placed in front of a cosy built-in window seating offering city views. Designed to make the best use of space and promote privacy for guests, each chamber is separated by a pair of panelled doors, a nod to French doors as commonly seen in New Orleans design and offering a more residential look and feel. The Chambers have integrated tech capabilities, including controlling lighting, thermostats, TVs, and order room services directly via the mobile app, Lucy.

Commons Club is located in the main hotel lobby and is designed to feel like a "members only" experience while being open to everyone.

Situated on the 13th floor, the rooftop pool and lounge will offer a haven overlooking the New Orleans skyline where guests can dine, drink and dance the night away.
