Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences New Orleans is now open and welcoming guests to The Crescent City.

“New Orleans is a destination that has long been on our wish list,” says Christian Clerc, president, Global Operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. “We could not be more excited to introduce Four Seasons to this incredible community and to share an authentic and memorable New Orleans experience with guests from near and far. The transformation of this truly iconic building is stunning and serves as a wonderful addition to Four Seasons portfolio of exceptional properties.”

Located on the Mississippi waterfront at the foot of Canal Street in the landmark, 34-storey World Trade Center, the property is just 20 minutes from both of the city’s airports and only steps from the historic French Quarter, the Warehouse Arts District and myriad parts and greenspaces. It also has direct access to the city’s streetcar line and is near the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Caesars Superdome, and Smoothie King Center.
