Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans
Edward Durell Stone's 1968 tower at the foot of Canal Street, on the National Register of Historic Places, opened as a hotel in 2021
The Privata Perspective
Edward Durell Stone finished this tower in 1968, and it has carried a National Register of Historic Places listing since 2014. Four Seasons opened inside it in 2021 with Bill Rooney Studio interiors — 276 rooms and 65 suites standing where Canal Street meets the Mississippi. The 92 residences are counted separately and are not hotel keys.
The view decides the stay. The operator's own room table runs far more city-view keys than river-view ones, and the river is the whole reason to be in this building rather than a French Quarter courtyard house. Ask for a Premier River-View Room or better; a city room at a similar rate is a different hotel.
We book it for clients who want a modern room and a real view instead of wrought iron and a courtyard, and we book it for the spring festival run, when the best rooms go early and the rates move hard.

Spa & Wellness
The Spa is a beauty atelier in the New Orleans bon vivant idiom: French beauty techniques run against modern technology for instant results, always with a lagniappe of bubbles and bites. Four Seasons publishes 5,525 square feet and eight treatment rooms.
When to Go
March–May
The city at its best — French Quarter Festival and Jazz Fest fill the spring, so book months ahead
June–November
Atlantic hurricane season, peaking around mid-September; hot and humid, and the value half of the year
