French Quarter New Orleans Hotel Tour: Omni Royal Orleans Hotel in the New Orleans French Quarter

In this episode of our New Orleans travel vlog we are in the New Orleans French Quarter at the Omni Royal Orleans Hotel to do a New Orleans hotel tour. This is one of the best New Orleans hotels and a lot of history has been made at this location. The Omni Royal Orleans hotel started out as The Royal Orleans Hotel which completed construction and opened in 1960. The Omni Royal Orleans Hotel is located in the New Orleans French Quarter at 621 St. Louis Street. This location was previously The St. Louis Hotel which opened in 1843 where it compiled a notable history until it permanently closed in 1912 and then it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1915. Local legends indicate that The St. Louis Hotel was the birthplace of gumbo, the cocktail and even the legendary free lunch. The ballrooms of the St. Louis Hotel were also the center of New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations before they were taken out on the streets in the contemporary style. The Royal Orleans used surviving pieces of the old St. Louis Hotel along with historic information about that historic hotel in building the contemporary Royal Orleans Hotel so that it closely resembles the noted St. Louis Hotel. Omni Hotels and Resorts acquired the lease to The Royal Orleans Hotel in 1986 and began operating the hotel as the “Omni Royal Orleans.” The Omni Royal Orleans has 14,000 square feet of meeting & event space, 3 on-site bars, a heated pool, fitness center and 345 guest rooms & suites.

You need to go to Maison De La Luz and film that. Ask for Tom he will give you a tour.

[@NOLAGent1]

I've actually never been in there so great idea!

[@seanquinn7271]

Tom actually showed me this channel. He’s a big fan of yours.

[@NOLAGent1]

@@seanquinn7271 That's great 👍

[@CannedFarts]

Whiskars!

[@benbrown4829]

Love the Hotel tours, especially the higher-end ones. Would be great to see the new 4 Seasons or the Mason de la Luz. Hope to see more Hotel Tours soon!

[@NOLAGent1]

Thanks for watching! I will have more hotels.

[@jijib7691]

Wow! Dare I say? I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I do like the restaurant reviews and I think it's great how you support local restaurants, especially during the pandemic....but I really enjoyed the hotel review. Thank you! Maybe that's also your niche!

[@NOLAGent1]

We have a LOT to explore in New Orleans!

[@Nightmarigny]

You left off some of the *very* dark things that have happened in this hotel... including right by that spot filmed at the rooftop pool.

[@NOLAGent1]

In a city the age of New Orleans plenty of good and bad has happened in most of the places and spaces.

[@banko1808]

Yea I was thinking the same thing too

[@banko1808]

​​@@NOLAGent1still wise to make mention of them. At 2:50 follow your own advice

[@NOLAGent1]

You are free to make your own video on any details you see fit to include about this hotel. In a short KZbin video like this there isn't enough time to include every detail and every incident in the very long history of places. If people want a more detailed history they can research and read about it on the internet or in books. This video has a main focus on just giving a tour of the hotel which includes a VERY brief history.

I love this hotel! It’s so beautiful and they serve delicious coffee.
