"Opened in 2021 as a bright, ground-up Virgin build, I enjoyed the hotel's exuberant color palette and natural light, the quirky local touches like Alex Podesta's surreal bunny-man sculpture, and the modern-luxury conveniences in every room — a breakfast nook and Smeg fridge — that make it easy to hole up and enjoy the property. The 13th-floor pool with a wraparound lounge and full bar is a compelling draw, and the hotel's lively onsite programming means you could happily spend much of your trip without leaving." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Known for theme parties, holiday pop-ups, and having the best rooftop in town." - Clair Lorell

"Virgin Hotels New Orleans is celebrating NYE in style 13 stories above the city. Enjoy two different experiences starting with the themed Dreamboat, a swanky lounge with live music by Jelani Bauman, an open bar, and passed hors d’oeuvres. Move to The Pool Club Rooftop for 360-degree views and beats from a live DJ. The fun starts at 8 p.m." - Beth D’Addono


"A Mariah Carey–themed holiday pop-up features over-the-top Black Irish liqueur–based drinks, including an espresso martini served with a candy cane rim; a white chocolate martini topped with cotton candy and glitter; a bourbon martini with a chocolate-covered pretzel rim; and cocoa coffee topped with glitter sprinkles and edible butterflies. Decor and photo ops include a life-sized gift box with an “All I Want For Christmas Is You” neon sign; a “Letters to Mariah” station; a lyric wall; an oversized Christmas tree; and a life-sized Christmas wreath seat to recreate the singer’s Magical Christmas Special album-cover pose. The pop-up runs now through Sunday, December 29." - Clair Lorell

"In case you haven’t heard, Mariah Carey’s first-ever pop-up bar is making an appearance at the Virgin Hotels New Orleans — one of a handful of select locations around the country. The pop legend and “All I Want for Christmas Is You” hitmaker is promoting her Black Irish cream liqueur with the holiday pop-up, so the line of cocktails features the spirit. The Cocoa Coffee is the hot drink on the menu, a spiked coffee hot chocolate topped with red and green glitter sprinkles and edible butterflies." - Clair Lorell
