Dining at the Blue Room was a special treat for couples, families and children. Sunday brunch will return to the Blue Room when the hotel reopens in June 2009.

Performances by the Dawnbusters were broadcast from the Roosevelt by WWL radio. Trumpeter Al Hirt is at the lower left on the floor in this 1930s photo.

Yall are the best and one of the most favorite memories of my life. Everytime I hear the song, “Dating A Memory,” it is about your hotel. All decorative beauty and the great days of politics, good eats and drink, music, and romance.
