The hotel’s famed Blue Room – legendary with locals, visitors and celebrities – will return to the brunch circuit and provide frequent entertainment to delight guests. Get More information on the Blue Room.
The hotel’s grand lobby will be adorned with a one-of-a-kind clock, once featured at the 1867 and 1878 Paris exhibitions. The clock will act as a centerpiece and as a local landmark. It is the largest known to exist.
The Sazerac Bar, a Roosevelt landmark for decades, again will serve its signature Sazerac cocktail and Ramos Gin Fizz – both invented in New Orleans and made popular worldwide by The Roosevelt – among other delights. In addition to beverages that stimulate the palate, patrons again will be able to enjoy the Art Deco-style murals by artist Paul Ninas and woodwork once held in awe by visitors. Get more information on the Sazerac Bar or read about the recent Sazerac Roundtable.
Every visit to the Roosevelt was memorable. As a young child in the late 50’s my dad always brought me and my siblings several times a year for lunch and to the Christmas display in the lobby. Plus I remember my parents going to the Blue Room, dressed beautifully and dapper. How I remember thinking I couldn’t wait until I would grow up and go to the exquisite Blue Room. Unfortunately, by the time I was of age the Blue Room closed. I know I missed a special era that the Roosevelt was a part.
My sister and I were country farm girls from Florida in 1957 and our our first experience to the culture of fine dinning was at the Blue Room with my aunt, uncle and two cousins. I’m in my sixties now and I still remember the awe and the wonderful experence we had being there.
May I get a schedule of the shows at the Blue Room? Also, I want to make a reservation for tea. Thanks.
