Fantastic hotel in a great location. Close to everything, but far away from the madness of the French Quarter. Great staff and the on-site restaurant is worth a trip of it's own. It's our go-to hotel in NOLA and will continue to be. Shout out to Wesley at the front desk who helped us tremendously with a booking issue our travel agent made...he didn't blink and fixed it immediately on one of the busiest weekends of the year.

**It’s YE Gurl @ Virgin Hotel New Orleans** 🎺✨ Let’s talk about consistency — because when a brand nails it, you *notice*. I’ve been a fan of Virgin Hotels since their boozy tea and DJ nights in Chicago, and let’s not forget the Vegas suite life moment (we were *thriving*). So when it came time for a Nawlins staycation from November 7–9, this was an easy “add to cart.” From the jump, it was giving: modern comfort, Southern charm, and that signature Virgin welcome — free drink coupon, snack + water gift, and staff so warm I could feel the hometown vibe (lived in New Orleans for nearly 10 years, so I know the real thing). Perfect base for all the homecoming activities and events that weekend. Everything was smooth sailing… until it wasn’t. The hiccup? A one-minute miss on the extended happy hour drink. 🕕 I literally stepped off the elevator at 5:58, made a beeline to the bar, and was ignored until a kind barback finally asked if I needed help. By the time the bartender looked up, it was 6:01. “Sorry, happy hour’s over.” *Cue record scratch.* Now, as someone who’s been in the service industry — Essence Fest, House of Blues, the real-deal pre-Katrina and pre-COVID hospitality era — that kind of energy? Not it. Nawlins runs on rhythm, kindness, and connection. You can’t just *adopt* the location, you have to *adapt* to the culture. And let’s be clear, this wasn’t just any weekend. The city was hosting Billie Eilish, a medical convention, a WWII event, *and* the centennial for the only private Catholic HBCU producing Black medical professionals. The room was filled with folks who *are* the moment — and yet the hospitality missed it completely. Mister Bartender — a word. 💬 You represent more than a bar; you represent a city that lives off joy, service, and soul. Virgin Hotels knows how to deliver that magic — it’s part of their DNA. But Nawlins magic requires heart. Step up, sync in, and serve it with a smile next time. Because trust — the culture here *will* correct you if you don’t. 😉💅🏽
