Chandelier Bar at Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans Named Best New Hotel Bar by Southern Living

Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans is included in Southern Living’s seventh annual South’s Best awards with Chandelier Bar being named Best New Hotel Bar and the only bar to appear on the 2023 list. The magazine notes the Hotel continues to be “the talk of the town” since its transformation of the historic World Trade Center building to become the only Five-Diamond hotel in the state. 

“In a city known for its historic cocktail culture, we are thrilled to be recognized as a Best New Hotel Bar by Southern Living readers and editors,” says Mali Carow, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel New Orleans. “We have been intentional in delivering a first-class cocktail program that features the best available ingredients and techniques in an elegant setting. I want to thank our talented Chandelier Bar team for their commitment to delivering an extraordinary experience for our guests.” 

Enveloped within a namesake chandelier of 15,000 floating crystals, Chandelier Bar is the glamorous centrepiece of the Hotel’s lobby. The menu features elevated takes on classic New Orleans cocktails, such as the Sazerac and French 75, as well as more modern and seasonal variations, all complemented by a food menu from acclaimed Louisiana Chef Alon Shaya.

The winners of the 2023 South’s Best Awards were nominated by Southern Living editors and then ranked through a five-week public voting period. The complete list of winners is out now on SouthernLiving.com and will be available on newsstands Friday, March 17, 2023.
