NEW ORLEANS – To help locals and guests alike beat the heat, The Roosevelt, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel has launched NOLA After Dark, a new collection of nighttime experiences that staff says blends the hotel’s storied glamour with the city’s vibrant energy.
From live jazz sessions and cocktails under the stars to indulgent late-night bites and history lessons, every evening is designed to immerse guests in a new perspective of the city’s culture.
- Rhythm & Roots: A Historic Jazz Crawl
Curated for Roosevelt guests in partnership with Big Easy Walking Tours, this walking tour is led by local jazz musicians who double as expert guides. The three-hour experience offers an insider’s take on New Orleans’ rich music history and culture, kicking off with a tribute to The Roosevelt’s own legendary musical past, and followed by exclusive visits to top jazz venues and sites in the French Quarter. Along the way, guests can indulge in a music history masterclass, and of course, classic New Orleans cocktails. Learn more HERE.
