Upstairs Rooftop Pool & Bar

Perched above the live oak canopy, Upstairs is a rooftop escape where the pace of New Orleans seems to slow. Spend the day beside the pool with the city at your feet, enjoying light bites and thoughtfully crafted cocktails. The pool is reserved exclusively for hotel guests and day pass holders.

Beginning at 4pm daily, the bar opens to the public, welcoming everyone to gather for drinks, small plates, and sunset views. Check out the Events Calendar for happy hour and programming details.
