Fodor's Expert Review The Higgins Hotel & Conference Center

1000 Magazine St., New Orleans, Louisiana, 70130, USA

Unique in its position as a hotel owned and operated by a museum (in partnership with Hilton), the Higgins is both an extension of the WWII Museum and a convenient, modern stay full of art deco touches and museum-quality photographs and art. Overall, there’s a 1940s theme that’s focused on the war, but with more positive tones than you might find at the museum across the street. Take Rosie’s On The Roof, for example: the gorgeous rooftop bar and terrace, serving small bites and classic cocktails, with a theme that honors the industrious working women of America’s WWII homefront.

PROS

  • unique concept
  • modern amenities and custom decor
  • great bar and restaurant outlets

CONS

  • WWII theme isn't for everyone
  • area outside gets easily congested
