PB hotel design editorial

Named for Andrew Higgins — the New Orleans boat builder whose Higgins landing craft the Allies used to storm the beaches of Normandy — this hotel carries a weight of historical obligation that most hospitality projects never have to reckon with. The Higgins Hotel, which sits directly adjacent to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans' Arts District, was purpose-built in 2019 as a companion property to that institution, designed by architect Eric Colbert with interiors by the New Orleans firm Malone Maxwell Borson Architects. The ten-story building's Art Deco-inflected facade — limestone cladding, vertical fins of illuminated white paneling, and a crown element that recalls 1930s setback towers — establishes a civic register appropriate to its neighbor. Inside, the 230 rooms carry the wartime reference lightly but consistently: navy and cream bed runners embroidered with WWII, brass torchiere floor lamps suggesting officer's quarters, and patterned carpets in the deep indigo and red of military dress uniforms. Dark-stained walnut case goods with brass ring pulls anchor the rooms against floor-to-ceiling windows framing either the Mississippi River bridge or the downtown skyline. The restaurant Café Normandie works a copper-pressed ceiling above fleur-de-lis upholstered dining chairs and navy banquettes — New Orleans and Normandy folded into one room. Above it all, the rooftop bar shifts register entirely into corrugated metal, exposed pipework, and vintage wooden propellers, the New Orleans skyline spread wide beyond open industrial-framed windows.

"Careful booking here, they double charge and generally unpleasant."

"We had a wonderful stay at the Higgins Hotel. Our premier King room was ready when we checked in and it was very spacious and clean. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, from Cafe Normandy to Rosie’s on the Rooftop to check-in and check-out. The on site gym was also nice and clean. Easily walkable to nearby sites and restaurants. The only downsides were that one elevator was out of service our entire stay, which led to only 2 elevators in use. We also were unable to secure a late checkout, however, they did hold our luggage so we could grab lunch nearby."

"From the moment I arrived at The Higgins Hotel New Orleans, Curio Collection by Hilton, Nate, the manager, made me feel genuinely valued by personally welcoming me as a Hilton Honors Gold Member, and his kindness and professionalism set the tone for an exceptional visit. Despite the hotel hosting a group of more than 200 teachers (myself included) the staff never missed a beat. There was always someone available to assist with a smile, and every interaction reflected outstanding hospitality and attention to detail. My room was beautiful, spotless, and comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a day spent learning at the WW2 Museum and enjoying everything New Orleans has to offer. The hotel’s rich history, elegant décor, and convenient location made my experience even more memorable. I am truly grateful for the outstanding service and warm hospitality and look forward to returning on my next visit to New Orleans. Highly recommended!"

"I attended the WWII Educators Seminar and all 208 of us stayed at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel the next time you’re in NOLA especially if you are visiting the WWII Museum next door. The hotel handled checking all of us with the effectiveness of a well oiled machine. They served us breakfast and lunch three days and the food was 5 stars. The best food I’ve had from any hotel during a professional development. The staff were professional and friendly. Thank you for making my stay in NOLA a wonderful experience."

"I stayed at the Higgins Hotel from July 6-10 while i was in New Olreans for educator conference, and couldn't have a asked for a better place. The staff was awesome from the moment I checked in. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and was always willing to help, At on point I needed to find a pharmacy nearby, and the front desk gave me the adress and phone number to it. My room was comfortable, clean, and well taken care of each day. It was nice to come back to a clean, fresh room at the end of the day's conferences. I had several meals that were provided by the hotel, and everything I tried was very good. Definitely better than expected for hotel dining. The location is hard to beat, especially if you're planning to visit the National World War Two Museum. It's literally right next door, and the museum is absolutely worth spending time at. Overall, I had a great experience and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you to everyone at the Higgins Hotel for making the stay an enjoyable one. Jason J"
