Virgin Hotels New Orleans
New Orleans, Louisiana
Warehouse District
Vibe
A bunny sculpture presides over Funny Library, and locals mingle with visitors at live music nights in The Shag Room.
“Shag Room showtime”
Jazz-inspired corridor carpets lead to chambers split into dressing rooms and sleeping lounges.
Shag Room Sessions, rooftop Club Soleil DJs and Funny Library game nights animate separate gathering spaces.
Rotating New Orleans musicians play Wednesday Shag Room Sessions beneath the hotel's residential styling.
In the Warehouse District, near Carondelet streetcars and a short walk from Canal Street.
Rooms
Each chamber separates dressing and sleeping into two zones, with privacy doors letting one person get ready while another rests.
Wellness
The outdoor pool sits on floor 13 beside a wraparound lounge deck, while the third-floor gym stays open around the clock.
Eat & drink
Commons Club pairs Gulf ingredients with Mediterranean influences, while Funny Library serves coffee and pastries and The Pool Club pours frozen cocktails.
The neighborhood
The Warehouse District puts Julia Street’s galleries and the French Quarter within walking distance, with nearby streetcars heading toward the Garden District.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
