Tales of the Cocktail returns (finally!) later this month for its 20th anniversary celebration. TOTC is the world’s largest cocktail conference from July 25 – 29, and brings in people of the Food & Beverage and Hospitality industry from all around the world to New Orleans. As a local, national and international non-profit organization, the Tales of the Cocktail Foundation platform seeks to act as a catalyst to Educate, Advance and Support the communities they touch.
The annual conference hosts a slew of seminars, workshops, tastings, competitions, and networking events throughout the city, and River Beats New Orleans is here to help you pick where to rest your head (and nurse your hangover) after the fun.
Hotels for Tales of the Cocktail
cambria
The Cambria Hotel is located more in the Warehouse District, but is next to some of our bar favorites including Barcadia & Lucy’s. Their boutique hotel blends business and leisure with interestingly designed rooms. Book the 1 King Bed Suite for a large living room space and separate bedroom for you to hang with your Tales of the Cocktail buddies (plus Lil Wayne & Ellen Degeneres).

four seasons hotel new orleans
Looking to spend a pretty penny (or have your company’s pretty penny to spend)? Consider the Four Seasons. Not only is this beautiful property home to the Chandelier Bar, but also includes gorgeous views over the banks of the Mississippi River. Dine on innovative Louisiana cuisine and relax by their resort-style pool in between events. The Four Seasons building was initially completed in 1968 to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the city’s founding as the World Trade Center & International Trade Market. Now, it is a landmark 5-star hotel with 34-floors, celebrating the city’s spirit of survival and rebirth.

One of New Orleans’ newest hotels (among many), Hotel Indigo is steps from the Ritz-Carolton, host to Tales of the Cocktail. At Hotel Indigo, you’ll find a select handful of rooms with balconies, spa-inspired bathrooms, inviting guest rooms, and Common Interest, the hotel’s restaurant & bar. Rates are very affordable for the week starting at $101 per night for a queen bed room. One thing to note, if you are looking for a pool: Hotel Indigo does not have one.
