About the Hotel
The Higgins Hotel & Conference Center’s name reflects the contributions of the extraordinary entrepreneur, Andrew Higgins, who designed and built over 20,000 boats in New Orleans that were used in every major amphibious assault of World War II.
Conveniently located directly across the street from The National WWII Museum, the hotel offers 230 era-inspired guest rooms and specialty suites, premium amenities, full-service restaurant, lounge, and a rooftop bar, as well as a second-floor conference center with more than 18,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
All rooms boast 1940s-style décor, one king bed or two double beds, complimentary WiFi, and a 55-inch HDTV. Check in with ease with Digital Key, then refresh in the spacious bathroom or get work done at the expansive desk.
