The Roosevelt New Orleans, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel, is offering exclusive weekday packages called Waldorf Astoria Wednesdays designed to make midweek stays memorable.
Available through Sept. 1, these special packages are built around a Wednesday night stay and provide curated experiences that reflect the spirit of New Orleans and the historic Roosevelt Hotel. Each option delivers an immersive, locally inspired activity combined with thoughtful keepsakes and culinary treats. Package choices include:
- Cocktails in New Orleans: A private 20-minute lesson on crafting classic New Orleans cocktails—learn how to make an authentic Sazerac and a Ramos Gin Fizz—plus a take-home kit with four Sazerac glasses, Peychaud’s Bitters, Herbsaint, Sazerac whiskey, and the official Sazerac recipe.
- Become a Gourmet Pastry Chef: A 30-minute pastry demonstration led by the Teddy’s Café pastry team, accompanied by an assortment of desserts and refreshments. The package also includes an autographed copy of New Orleans Classic Desserts by Kit Wohl and two New Orleans–themed aprons from Catstudio.
- Cool the Summertime Blues in the Fountain Lounge: A three-course tasting menu with suggested wine pairings served in the Fountain Lounge, plus two oyster salt cellars, a Roosevelt-branded wine stopper, and the option to enjoy Frozevelt cocktails poolside or in the lounge.
These midweek packages are tailored to provide a distinctive New Orleans experience while staying at an iconic downtown hotel. Whether guests are drawn to hands-on cocktail instruction, pastry demonstrations, or a relaxed tasting in the Fountain Lounge, each Waldorf Astoria Wednesday option enhances a weekday visit with local flavor, expert guidance, and memorable souvenirs.
