The Blue Room
at The Roosevelt, New Orleans
The Roosevelt was built in 1893 as "The Grunewald", renamed The Roosevelt Hotel in 1923 ...
It became "The Fairmont Hotel" in 1965.
The hotel was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and closed
indefinitely. It was restored in 2009 at a final restoration
cost of $170 million. It was then renamed the "Roosevelt", and re-opened to the
public on July 1, 2009.

It's probably just me, but I think I liked it better in the postcard image!
