Special from $139: Papa Noel Rates at The Roosevelt New Orleans

Spend the holidays in New Orleans and get a special gift from The Roosevelt New Orleans, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel: Papa Noel rates starting as low as $139 for a deluxe guest room and $199 for a suite. (This promotion is available until December 29, 2010, based on availability and a one night deposit is required at the time the reservation is made.) While you're there, take the kids to The Roosevelt's Teddy Bear Tea, where you'll enjoy free-flowing Champagne while the little ones will be delighted by storytellers and trumpeters, as well as appearances by Santa, his elves and Mrs. Claus. The historic hotel is dressed to the nines for the holidays. A tradition since the 1930s, the Waldorf Wonderland lobby returns bigger and better as the grand lobby is transformed into a canopy of white birch branches and thousands of twinkling lights. Folks from miles around flock to see the lobby lined with Christmas trees decorated with bows and ornaments, poinsettias and other holiday-themed displays. Catch a glimpse of the Waldorf Wonderland until January 6, 2011.
