Best for travelers who want a small, characterful downtown hotel with historic architecture, a courtyard, and an on-site French-Louisiana brasserie.

Best for travelers who want full-service luxury, a large on-site spa, a rooftop/terrace and extensive meeting or ballroom space in a landmark downtown hotel.
When The Eliza Jane wins: choose The Eliza Jane if you want a boutique, historic-warehouse atmosphere within easy walking distance of the French Quarter, a quieter courtyard setting, and a strong on-site restaurant in a smaller property.
When The Roosevelt wins: choose The Roosevelt for classic, large‑hotel luxury—if you need a full-service spa, a swimming pool, extensive meeting/ballroom space, or prefer a branded Waldorf Astoria experience downtown.
Bottom line: both are centrally located and rooted in New Orleans history; pick The Eliza Jane for boutique character and a courtyard-focused stay, or The Roosevelt for scale, amenities, and full-service hotel facilities.
