Higgins Hotel

The Higgins Hotel & Conference Center hosts weddings, anniversary celebrations, Mardi Gras parties, and corporate meetings and conferences in downtown New Orleans. Its second-floor conference center spans more than 18,000 square feet across fourteen event spaces, ranging from the Art Deco Arcadia Ballroom to more intimate boardrooms suited to smaller gatherings. Named the official hotel of The National WWII Museum, which sits directly across Magazine Street, the property carries a WWII-era theme through its 230 era-inspired guest rooms and specialty suites as well as its event spaces, several of which take their names from wartime conferences and figures — among them the Casablanca Room and the Patriots Circle, home to a grand piano once owned by General George S. Patton's family. The hotel is set in the Arts & Warehouse District, within walking distance of galleries, restaurants, and boutiques. Beyond its meeting and event spaces, the hotel offers a full-service restaurant, a lounge, and the rooftop bar Rosie's on the Roof. It has received AAA Four Diamond recognition and a USA Today Top 10 ranking among downtown New Orleans hotels.
