Stayed here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The hotel is very nice. It was decorated for Christmas and it looked great. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. There are also bars and restaurants in the hotel. It is next to the WWII museum. They offer room service. We found all employees to be very nice. I would definitely stay here again when in New Orleans.

Our wedding guests stayed at the Higgins Hotel, and they absolutely loved it. The location is fantastic — right by the WWII Museum — and being able to enjoy Rosie’s on the Roof with its amazing views was such a highlight for everyone. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the hotel was and how convenient everything felt, from the surrounding attractions to the incredible rooftop experience. We were so happy with their stay and would highly recommend the Higgins Hotel to anyone hosting a group or celebrating a special occasion in New Orleans.

Absolute beautiful hotel. Very very very clean. Staff was amazing and everyone was very nice. Parking is very convenient and quick access to the french quarter. Food was amazing in both venues with excellent service. Highly recommend for anyone local wanting a quick getaway or anyone traveling from afar. Jamie and Tracy Taylor

Hotel with a beautiful lobby and nice WWII era decorations. The location was convenient for the conference center. There are restaurants and a coffee shop/convenience store. Room was nice, with a fridge and complementary bottled water. Minor complaints: the water in the shower was quite soft; the coffee shop said they had a cookie butter latte but they didn't!; service staff was competent but not very friendly. There's some seating areas in the lobby that are playing this WWII era music and hearing that music gets old after a while, haha. Would definitely stay again, and would recommend to stay at for AGU and other conferences!

We went to New Orleans specifically to go to the WWII museum. The hotel is directly across the street from the museum, making it the perfect location. We spent four nights at the hotel. The room was spacious and clean and very quiet. Once inside the room, you didn't hear anything. The staff were friendly and always helpful. One member of the staff, Julia, in the Cafe Normandie was extremely professional, friendly and went out of her way to accomondate us. A parking garage is adjacent to the hotel. If you are going to the WWII museum this is definitely the place to stay.

Cool hotel w/ interesting WW2 vibe. The WW2 museum actually owns the hotel. Hotel was clean, comfy, newish, and had a rooftop restaurant which had amazing catfish. I have hilton status so they helped me switch my room which was nice. I liked how the hotel goes out of their way to show service members of all races and backgrounds in the rooms, like the black pilots. Customer service was fantastic. Was here for a wedding a week before Christmas (who does that??), but next time I come, def staying here and want to see the museum and explore more. Highly-recommend this place.

I had the best experience at this hotel! All of the staff were friendly. The hotel itself was extremely clean. John at the front desk was extremely helpful and polite. Avery the manager went above and beyond to make my husbands surprise birthday weekend even more special. I just wanted to take a moment to shout out how grateful I am for the overall experience. The overall service was phenomenal. Will definitely be back again soon!
