New Orleans Rituals
Rituals play a leading role in New Orleans. They season culture here unlike any other city. A rare cross-pollination of cultures. European romance. Caribbean ways. African influences. Percolated, steeped, marinated and distilled for 300 years. What a fascinating mix and the reason why we celebrate by hosting 7 New Orleans rituals each year in the lobby and bar, including Carnival, St. Joseph’s Day, Summer Dress, St. John’s Eve and All Souls’ Day.
