"The rooftop pool at Ace Hotel draws crowds of sun worshipers who pony up $15 Monday to Thursday and $30 to swim weekends, starting from 9 a.m. Alto serves all kinds of yummy dishes, including different spiedini, skewers of grilled tuna, beef, or melon. Try a frozen Eternal Summer, a bracing blend of vodka, coconut cream, orange, and lemon." - Beth D’Addono
"There’s almost always something going on at Alto, the Ace Hotel’s rooftop bar and pool, from DJs to special brunches. The warm-weather favorite is open to the public daily for lunch, dinner, and drinks with the purchase of a day pass. Expect an Italian-leaning menu of pizza, salad, and wings, as well as a drink menu with excellent frozen cocktails." - Clair Lorell
"Just one block away from the parade routes on St. Charles Avenue in the Warehouse District, the Ace Hotel’s location on Carondelet Street offers easy access to parades." - Lyndsey Matthews
"First impressions? The exterior is fairly nondescript, as are most of the office conversions in the city’s Central Business District. Inside though, there's a wistful Art Deco vibe. What’s the crowd like? Whether the brand shapes the demographic or the demographic shapes the brand, you’re firmly in fashion-conscious creative territory here, though in stubbornly unfashionable New Orleans, it’s less jarring than it might otherwise be. Expect to mix with young and beautiful people around the rooftop pool. And, the rooms?Some would describe my Medium Room as stark, others refreshingly minimalist. I found it calming. The dark tiling of the bathrooms creates an usually louche atmosphere, and the walk-in shower was spacious. The products are a mix of Rudy’s toiletries and Pearl soaps. My only real complaint was the lighting. It seemed a little too dim (I couldn't turn up the brightness). How about the little things? I loved the interior design, especially the French Deco wooden furniture, chic light fixtures and comfy, leather-covered window seat. Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Wi-Fi strength and reliability confidently reflected the social media-focused priorities of the hotel’s guests. Anything else stand out?Two favorites part of the hotel: The rooftop pool and the live music venue Three Keys. Both have hopping weekend crowds. The three dining options, osteria Josephine Estelle, rooftop bar Alto and oyster-touting Seaworthy are pretty fantastic, too. Bottom line. If you know the Ace brand, it’s not going to surprise you. One of the boutique properties that recently injected new energy into the city's hotel scene, it's steps from Lafayette Square and some of the hottest tables in town." - Paul Oswell
"A New Orleans hotel partnering with the book tour to present a conversation between the local Eater editor and chef Nina Compton followed by a Q&A; the event will include a food menu for sale inspired by Nina’s recipe in the cookbook and her broader repertoire, with a bookseller onsite for purchases and signings." - Eater Staff
