The Higgins Hotel & Conference Center, located at 1000 Magazine St. in New Orleans, recently achieved significant recognition. It was ranked No. 3 among more than 200 properties in Hilton’s Curio Collection, based on 2025 guest service scores. Simultaneously, the hotel reaffirmed its AAA Four-Diamond status. These accolades boost its appeal for group bookings and conventions, crucial for the hospitality sector in New Orleans.
Known as the official hotel of the National WWII Museum, Higgins Hotel benefits from its prime location in the Warehouse/Arts District. The hotel’s 230 rooms and over 14,000 square feet of event space make it a desirable destination for meetings and conventions. The establishment’s 98% Google guest rating for the previous year underscores its reputation.
The recent achievements come amid strong festival and convention demand in the city. The hotel’s new rankings are likely to enhance its competitiveness as New Orleans strives to capitalize on event-driven visitor traffic. The ConventionSouth also recognized the property as a top meeting hotel, which can further attract corporate group bookings.
Despite these successes, no renovations or major strategic changes have been announced following these awards. As New Orleans continues to witness robust tourism, the Higgins Hotel’s enhanced status could influence future leasing, management, or potential sale opportunities in an already dynamic market.
The hotel’s continued recognition highlights the growing value of hospitality assets in New Orleans, with possible implications for its event pipeline and asset value. Such accolades may enhance investor interest and impact operational strategies in the regional hotel industry.
