The Roosevelt New Orleans

This year’s CRA and Fair Lending Colloquium will be held in the heart of New Orleans at the Roosevelt Hotel located conveniently in the Central Business District just off Canal Street and a block from the world-famous French Quarter. The Roosevelt New Orleans is a short 20-minute drive from the airport with cab, car and shuttle.

The Roosevelt stands in the same place it has for more than 100 years, at the heart of all the history, cuisine, entertainment and culture that made New Orleans famous. Just past the hotel’s magnificent brass doors are the narrow streets and old-world charm of the French Quarter. Stroll along the shop-lined sidewalks of Royal Street. Immerse yourself in the constant buzz of activity at Jackson Square. Let your ears take you from one club to the next as you soak in a wealth of musical stylings at Preservation Hall or on Frenchmen Street.

With the St. Charles and Canal streetcar lines within blocks of The Roosevelt, the rest of New Orleans is just a few stops away. Walk amongst the centuries-old live oaks of City Park or marvel at the majestic homes of the historic Garden District.

The hotels cut-off date to get the discounted rate has been extended till September 25th, 2009. To ensure space is available, please make your reservations early. Make sure you mention you are attending the CRA and Fair Lending Colloquium to get the discounted rate.
