Cocktail culture is woven into the history of New Orleans, and the Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences New Orleans honors that legacy with its Chandelier Bar. Opened in summer 2021, the lobby bar presents both classic and contemporary cocktails beneath a breathtaking 15,000-crystal custom chandelier.
Beverage manager Hadi Ktiri designed a menu that celebrates iconic New Orleans drinks such as the Sazerac, Ramos Fizz, Hurricane and French 75. In addition to faithful renditions, the menu includes inventive variations on these favorites, alongside a curated selection of sparkling wines and Champagne. To complement the cocktail program, award-winning New Orleans chef Alon Shaya contributes a range of thoughtful food pairings—small plates meant for sharing, plus caviar service to elevate the experience.

The Chandelier Bar seats 85 guests in total: 22 at the bar, 51 in the lounge and 12 on the garden terrace. Throughout the bar and lobby, artwork by local and international artists adds visual richness and a sense of place.
“Chandelier Bar is the energy center of Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans, and a passionate tribute to the illustrious cocktail tradition of the City,” said Mali Carow, general manager, Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences New Orleans. “Wrapped within this stunning chandelier, guests from near and far will connect, celebrate, and indulge here as part of their New Orleans experience, tasting New Orleans in every savored sip.”
