The 116-year-old Roosevelt New Orleans, located one block from the historic French Quarter, opens in June with refurbished event space.

The property offers nearly 60,000 square feet of event space, including 23 meeting rooms. Three ballrooms--the 20,140-square-foot Roosevelt Ballroom, the 12,204-square-foot Crescent City Ballroom and the 6,776-square-foot Waldorf-Astoria Ballroom--will be available.

The legendary Blue Room night club--which has served as the showcase for entertainers including Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong and Marlene Dietrich--is an ideal setting for weddings and carnival balls, management says.
