Curator’s statement
This June, I had the pleasure of visiting New Orleans (NOLA) for the first time to celebrate my birthday. I was thrilled about this trip and even more excited to stay at the recently opened Four Seasons New Orleans. The hotel was magnificent, offering stunning, modern rooms and enormous bathrooms that felt luxurious and welcoming. With two on-site restaurants, an outdoor pool and the most gorgeous lobby featuring the CHANDELIER BAR, my stay was nothing short of spectacular. Every detail of the hotel exceeded my expectations, making my birthday celebration unforgettable with my dear girlfriend. .

I highly recommend trying the local specialties and indulging in the expertly crafted menus.
