THE OMNI ROYAL ORLEANS (New Orleans, LA)

         The Omni Royal New Orleans is more than a hotel – it is a destination. On the very ground the hotel occupies today the New Orleans hotel greeted its first guests in 1840, when room rates were $2.50 a day. The building was destroyed by a hurricane in 1915 and it would be almost a half a century before the property was reborn as the Omni Royal Orleans. Today, the hotel carries on the tradition of fine European hospitality.

         The Omni Royal Orleans has found the ideal blend of warmth and sophistication, and just the right amount of Southern charm. At the Omni, individual travelers experience the same personalized and exquisitely detailed service that has been provided for the many royal figures, celebrities and politicians who have graced the hotel’s hallways over the decades. Still, the soul of the Omni Royal Orleans rests in the comfortable accommodations. The hotel has 346 well-appointed guestrooms, including 15 spacious suites with custom-made furniture, draperies and original artwork. Every room boasts views of courtyards lush with tropical greenery, or Jackson Square, the Mississippi River, or French Quarter rooftops.

WALDORF-ASTORIA (New York, NY)



New York City’s famous Waldorf-Astoria opened its doors at its current location on Park Avenue on October 1, 1931. The mighty 2,200-room hotel – then the world’s largest and tallest – occupied the entire city block. From its graceful porte-cochere and gold-leaf frieze above the doorway, the Queen of Hotels soared 42 stories above midtown Manhattan, earning the appellation of New York City’s first skyscraper hotel. The name of the hotel actually comes from the original Waldorf hotel launched in 1893 and the connecting Astoria hotel erected four years later. When the property was moved to its current home the name stuck.

Since 1893, the name Waldorf-Astoria has epitomized the quintessential hotel experience. Each spacious, individually decorated guestroom and suite offers a rewarding union of timeless elegance and up to the minute convenience, luxurious comfort and classic sophistication.

With over a century of experience hosting state dinners, confidential board meetings and major corporate announcements, The Waldorf-Astoria has achieved an incomparable reputation for gracious hospitality and exacting service standards. Further embracing this stature are its multi-million dollar technological capabilities, including direct-link satellite broadcasting and ultra-high speed Internet access to support real-time video broadcasting.
