NEW ORLEANS – The Blackbird Hotel, a boutique hotel in New Orleans’ Garden District, announced its new Resident Mystic program, an immersive offering led by New Orleans psychic, astrologer and paranormal investigator Carie Ewers. Starting Aug. 13, guests are invited to explore the city’s spiritual heritage through personalized readings and private experiences. As today’s travelers aim to form a deeper connection to the places they visit, the program provides an authentic way to engage with one of New Orleans’ enduring cultural traditions.
For generations, New Orleans has been known for its mysticism, fortune telling and paranormal folklore, making it one of the country’s most distinctive destinations. As The Blackbird’s Resident Mystic Carie Ewers will bring that legacy to life with weekly readings in the hotel’s charming Lobby Bar every Thursday and Friday from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.
Guests and locals can reserve tarot, astrology, palmistry and mediumship sessions for individuals or couples, or stop in for a walk-in appointment while enjoying a cocktail or beverage from the hotel’s custom tea program. Nestled throughout the hotel’s lobby, intimate sitting rooms with cozy lounge seating, refined décor and secluded corners provide an inviting setting for conversations with Ewers.
Beyond the weekly residency, exclusive offerings will be available by reservation. Guests can book guided séances, private ghost tours through New Orleans’ storied streets starting in October, and other curated experiences inspired by the city’s spiritual side.
“Every detail at The Blackbird was designed to spark curiosity and discovery, from our striking black exterior, which has become an iconic backdrop for visitors and locals, to the Café’s locally roasted coffee that is now a neighborhood staple,” said Adam Gaudry, Area General Manager of The Blackbird Hotel. “The Resident Mystic builds on that identity by allowing guests to explore one of the unique and mysterious aspects of New Orleans that has fascinated visitors for generations.”
The Blackbird Hotel partnered with Ewers, whose more than 30 years of clairvoyant experience have established her as a respected figure in New Orleans’ psychic community. She has been featured in numerous publications, appeared on the History Channel for paranormal investigations, taught at leading festivals including HexFest, and is a certified astrologer through the National Council for Geo-Cosmic Research, as well as a certified Reiki practitioner.
Formerly a children’s home dating back centuries, The Blackbird Hotel delivers an upscale home-away-from-home rooted in character and storytelling. Its layered interiors blend historic charm, contemporary comfort and the eccentric heartbeat of New Orleans, creating a fitting atmosphere for experiences as unique as the city itself.
