I recently enjoyed a fabulous stay at the new FS New Orleans!! I cannot elaborate on much since my time was a bit limited, but I can offer this...
The hotel is beautiful. The Chandelier Bar in the lobby is very lovely and lively. Proof of vaccination is required before entering the hotel each time, or one could show room key. All employees wear masks and practice safe Covid protocols. Guests were not "required" to wear masks, per regulations in effect at the time of my visit.
The FSPP benefits were appreciated and were presented at check-in, along with a refreshing flute of champagne. River views were wonderful with lots of activity.. paddleboats, a cruise ship every now and then, container ships, etc. The railroad tracks run right next to the hotel and blow their whistles between midnight and 7am or so, but I understand there is very little rail traffic during the night. I never heard the train whisltes, even though my floor was about midway up, because of the thick window panes and because I use the Bose NC Ear Buds (love them). Regular Ear Plugs are provided in room. The whistles were heard only occasionally during the day, but were not intrusive, I rather enjoyed watching the trains. A remote wall panel next to the bed controlled the sheer and blackout drapes, Do Not Disturb, lighting, etc. A Courant mag charger on one side of bed was also very convenient.
The bath used the large refillable bottles of Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Oil! Individual bars of soap were provided.
The food was fabulous at both Chemin a la Mer (my preferred) and Miss River. In-Room Dining was wonderful. I do not believe the Spa is open, nor the top observation deck, but inquire as I could be mistaken.
Caesar's Palace is renovating directly across the street and can be seen from the City View rooms.
I LOVED this visit and look forward to many returns. Service was always great and friendly. I'm still enjoying the wonderful memories!
