8. The Roosevelt New Orleans (New Orleans, Louisiana)
Opening its doors in 1893 on land deeply connected to the Civil War, The Roosevelt New Orleans has evolved through every major era of American history. During Prohibition, its legendary Sazerac Bar became a beacon for cocktail lovers, cleverly navigating the restrictions of the time. The hotel’s resilience shone again after Hurricane Katrina, when it underwent a remarkable restoration to recapture its historic grandeur.
